Hey folks. Just signed up on the forums. I do not currently have a Ram, but tonight my Dad will be taking delivery of a blue pearl-coat Laramie crew cab Hemi. I have been helping him with purchasing a new vehicle and we recently went to our local Ram dealer and drove a Ram. He loved the truck. Fords interior was too plastic like, and he didn't like the bad news the GM trucks have been getting lately. The Ram's interior was about on par with the interior of my GMC, maybe even a little nicer. I do really like the UConnect and the integrated Garmin maps is flawless.
I currently drive a 2014 GMC Sierra. I have had my fair share of issues/recalls. I might be jumping onto the Ram bandwagon soon. The 8 speed trans is very nice, and the Hemi has way more power than my measly 5.3L. I was surprised how nice the Ram's ride. One of our testers had the optional air suspension, but we also drove one with the standard coil rear. His will have the coil rear too, no need for the air suspension. But both setups ride great. His truck will be his daily driver. He owns a construction company but he doesn't swing the hammer, so it will be mostly highway and around town miles. He is upgrading from a 2011 Buick Enclave. But has had a number of Chevrolet Suburbans in the past, and he is very happy to get back into a full size truck.
Anyways, I am usually pretty active on forums for vehicles I own, so I figured I would sign up just in case I get the Ram itch. But I will likely use the forums regardless to keep in touch just for the sake of my Dad's new Ram.
Take it easy.
