Just bought by 2014 Ram Express and so far it is awesome. Glad I went with the 5.7. Plenty of power and MPG isn’t bad either. The 8 speed probably helps quite a bit with economy. I’m averaging right around 20mpg with mixed city and highway. Only gripe i have with the truck which I didn’t even realize until after I bought it was the cruise control will not come on. It will come on when I first start the truck but as soon as I turn the wheel it will turn off and not come back on. I have read this is a common issue with these trucks. Hopefully dealer can get it fixed. I use cruise quite often. Anyway, great truck and hope to own it for quite some time.
