First Dodge for me. I traded in a Honda Civic that I bought new in 2007 because I had a 120 mile round trip every day commute for work. The Civic was going strong with 177,000+ on the odometer. Now I have a fifteen minute drive!

Traded in a 2005 Z71 for the Civic. Loved and hated that truck because it stayed in the shop too much. My favorite was when I was on a trip, 200 miles from home, and it decided to not only shift itself into 4 high, but stay there until I drove it to the dealer. Another trip, 6 hours away from home and the rear extended cab doors did not want to open. I had to climb into the back and pitch my luggage out through the front seat. Embarrassing for a relatively brand new truck.

Don't remember the odometer reading, but it was still under warranty.

I kept my 94' F150 that I had since high school for a while when I had the Civic. I sold it to a family member that needed a vehicle. The truck was in fair cosmetic condition. The interior and radio had seen better days, but the truck had less than 150,000 on the odometer. Family member decided to start modding the truck and eventually their mechanical prowess did not equal longevity for my former F150. RIP ole Ford, you were a good one.

Both my grandfathers had Dodge trucks. My dad actually still has one of them that he uses as a farm truck.

I bought my used 2015 Big Horn with a 5.7 last month. It had 22000 miles on the odometer and I got a really good deal on it. So far I am absolutely smitten with it. Looking forward to many years of service out of this one.

I have owned 5 pickup trucks over the years but this is my first Dodge. So far very pleased. Hands down the only truck that appealed to my style wise.

Hello.
We traded in our 3 year old 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a streak blue 2016 RAM 1500 SLT 4x4. We kept the PentaStar V6 engine because we liked it in the Jeep. Only thing I hope is gone at that truck is the whining noise when we did start the engine in the winter. That noise was embarrassing and neighbours complaint about it in the morning. The shop could never fix that..... I have to say that we also own a 2016 F150 Lariat. But that's a other story.

First time Ram owner here, as well,.
Prior to this truck, always owned Dodge "Ram" pickups.

 

[breal201999]

First time Ram owner, first time "truck" owner. Traded in GMC Acadia before this. I'm done with GM.

 

[Handyman]

All of my prior pickups were fords. I've had a ranger, F150, & F250 6.0 Diesel.

I miss my F250, but I love my Ram.

First time ram owner. Had a Silverado and loved it. Went to the jeep/dodge dealer looking for a car for my son and made the mistake of driving the ram.

This is my first Ram, picked up my 2015 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab last year in November.!

I traded in my 2014 Chevy Silverado CC on the deal. I only had that truck for a year, it had the terrible vibration issues that the dealer said was normal.. I'm glad I got rid of it.. I love my Ram!

THIS guy is new. Came from an old 2000 Navigator as tow-vehicle and a Ram was the best affordable option that was an upgrade and newer, but kept my accustomed air-ride, ventilated seats, and lockable interior tool storage (via ram-boxes). I'm only about 10 days in, but loving it so far.

I had an 02 250 , then had to get rid of it for a Chevy Malibu back when gas got to 4.20 /gal and I was getting 10mpg in that beast lol

I drove a 350z before coming over to the Ram. Kinda sad, they get the exact same MPG and the Ram really isn't that much slower.

I went through a Nissan Frontier and a Toyota Tacoma before getting my Ram 1500. The midsize trucks are easier to get in an out of and to maneuver around in. But they all have terrible seats compared to full size trucks. I liked the Ram's seats and the fact that I could get a sunroof in a quad cab model. The Toyota Tundra double cab doesn't offer that option. My Ram had all the features that I wanted for a decent price after discounts. I wish they would just price them realistically from the start rather than playing games to get a good prices. I just hope it remains reliable and doesn't rust away. I see too many 10 year old Dodge trucks that are badly rusted.

I just bought my first Ram (and first truck ever) yesterday! A 1500 Black Edition quad cab. So far so good. Got the popular equipment package and some other upgrades to get it to the feature level I wanted and a great price. Obviously have only been driving it one day, but I test drove a lot of trucks and can say the Ram is by far the most comfortable and has the best ride quality in my opinion over any other full or mid size truck other than the new Honda Ridgeline which is basically an SUV.

The interior quality is nice even with base models, and I love how easy to use the touch screen system is. Very intuitive and quick unlike my wife's new Honda. Exterior is just a no brainer for me... Rams are the best looking full size truck on the market.

Me too unless you count my old 73 Dodge reg cab 8 ft box with a slightly done up 318 c.i.

First Ram for us in January 2016
2013 Ram 6.7 4x4 CC long bed

I'm in love

My previous tow vehicle is my 1979 Ford F250 4x4 long bed, built 460, C6, 4:56 Dana 60's,66 gallons of gas and passed everything but a gas station... could haul a house... although you KNEW it was working like a dog @ 7mpg

This RAM feels like you're still on the couch at home while dragging 8000lbs up the Grapevine and still able to have a conversation in the cab while cruise control is set on 70mph and doesn't drop to 62mph

Ford will be for sale soon, last of the all metal American trucks ;-)

First Ram here. This is my 5th Hemi vehicle so far to date. My Hemi affair started in 2006 with a Charger RT, from there were 2 300's one C one S, and then a Grand Cherokee Overland <--- my favorite to date.

My father has had a Ram since 2006 and other than rear end, alternator, and brakes hes had it up until last November and loved it. He jsut traded for a 2016 Laramine 6.4 Powerwagon loaded up. From there I had no choice.

Got myself a 4x4 Crew Hemi Bighorn. Had the upgraded dash and navigation so I stole it up. Added leather, running boards, Terra Grapplers and leveling kit in the 2 months Ive had it.
