We're on our fifth Chrysler-platform minivan, but this is my first RAM (or Dodge) pickup. I learned to drive in my Dad's 1969 F-100 (taught both my sons in it, too). It was succeeded by a very rusty '95 F-150 4x4, which in turn was replaced with a '99 F-250 4x4 powerstroke. This is my first-ever new truck purchase, and should hopefully last long enough to be my last.

First Ram, First truck, and first domestic I bought myself. Parents bought me a chevy cavalier in high school. Boy was that car a *************.

Ive owned a Mitsubishi galant, nissan pathfinder and nissan Xterra. Those Nissans were both bullet proof but I wanted a truck and so far am happy with the Ram. I wouldn't consider myself brand loyal to anyone manufacturer but would buy another Ram in the future if the deal was right.

First Ram and first truck since owning a 1985 S-10.

I have been driving a Jeep Wrangler since Oct. 2003. We bought my wife a 14 Durango R/T. We love that car. When I decided it was time to rest the Jeep, I went straight to the Ram dealership and test drove a Lonestar with the same 8-spd tranny and 5.7 hemi MDS as in the Durango. We returned from the test drive and purchased the truck. I haven't looked back since.

This also includes me as I had a 2010 Silverado fully equipped for a whole weekend before it was totaled by a trash truck. Didn't even drive it as it had been flatbedded to my home and we went away for a romantic weekend. Came back to nothing and wanted nothing to do with trucks again until picking this Ram up lol. :)

Me as well. Drove nothing but GM's since '97 except for a Ford F250 for my lawn business. This Ram is my favorite truck I've had.
Similar story here. Pretty much all GM's except a Cherokee sport and beater Nissan commuter box at one time. Never had a hardcore bias, just always ended up with GM trucks and they served me well. But when I went shopping this time and drove just about everything, the RAM punched the ticket. So far extremely happy with the choice. As long as it proves reliable for long term, I'll be one happy camper. Nicest vehicle I've owned this far.

It's the first for me and I absolutely love this truck. I really don't know what took so long for me to jump ship from a bowtie

First truck, first Ram. Traded in my Explorer, could not stand the soccer mom like feel to it. Wife's Grand Cherokee helped me a lot in my decision.
