Last September, my wife and i decided that it was time to buy a truck. I decided i wanted to get a ram but she thought they were ugly. I settled on a 2014 Silverado and over the past 13 months, i just have not been happy with it. Lots of reasons but some of the big ones are sluggish acceleration unless full throttle, rides like a tank when hitting even minor bumps, shakes at highway speeds and center console shake at random times. I finally was able to break my wife down enough to sort of agree that I could entertain trading the Silverado for a ram. Last night I finally made that a reality and traded the Silverado for a 2016 Ram 1500 crew cab 4x4 with a hemi. This truck drived EXACTLY how i wanted a truck to drive. Its smooth, gobs of power(I haven’t even got past 1/2 throttle!). So far its a true joy compared to what i had. Miles are pretty low (16k and some change) so obviously its in very good condition. It just rides and drives so good, im just sort of surprised really. Anyway, im glad I could finally join the Dodge family! Hopefully it last for many years to come

Welcome from another SC member. Sounds like you went through the same crap that I did with the GM stuff. I made the switch to RAM back in 2015 and never looked back. Whereabouts in SC are you....looks like somewhere down here on the coast where I'm at with those "Palmetto" trees in the background.
