I had a '94 Dakota. I drove it for years, sold it to my nephew. Neither of us had issues with it. I think it had a little over 200,000 miles on it when he parked it.

I have a 2003 1500. It has a little more than 278,000 miles. I still drive it, and it drives good.

Now I have a 2019 1500. So far so good.

I have owned 1 Dodge 1500. Everything on the exterior of the truck was perfect, the engine and drive train was perfect. Just everything on the inside of the truck was [censored]. Radio stopped working twice while still under warranty. Dash lights kept going out, window switches would stop working, power seat stopped working. All this while it was still under warranty. 3 days after my warranty expired the dash lights went out again. Took it back, made them fix it and traded it in.

I'm on my third had a 99, a 2012, and now a 2016 I've loved each one, would still be in the 2012, but totaled it. The hemi has tons of power and pulling my boat (which is only a 18') is like there is nothing behind me. The screen that controls the radio/ac/heat, ect is easy to use. Very comfortable ride. The one I drive now is a Lone Star edition and it has some perks my old ones didn't.

Have an old '98 Cummins dually that I still drive pretty much everyday. The only thing major I've had to change was
the transmission. Shes cranky when its cold, but once warmed up, purrs like a grizzly bear. Got 375k + miles on her and she just keeps going. Lol, she definitely has "personality" at this stage in the game. Last half a year that made that particular motor. Still gets 0-60 in under 2 minutes. Lol. Wouldnt trade her for the world.

We have a 2500 '17 or '18 Ram in our work fleet. It's been solid with no mechanical or cosmetic problems at about 70k miles. My only issue with that one is that it tends to jump down two gears when it downshifts in tow/haul mode to go up even minor hills nomatter how I feather the gas peddle. This may be necessary with major loads and more substantial hills but it's excessive with most of the towing I've done with it and the high engine revving just gets annoying in rolling hills. Other than that personal annoyance, it's an awesome work truck.

2017 Ram 3500 6.7 diesel w/manual transmission

Only complaints:
- The quality of the leather on the seats is very poor. I can't believe how fast they went down hill.
Get seat covers and take them off for date night and other special occasions.

- My #1 dislike - The reverse gear. It's geared way to high. Reverse needs to be a creep not a sprint. Especially with a manual transmission and backing trailers, I can get some clutch burning. Already replaced the clutch once.

- You got the hump in the back floor board. I miss having that flat floor in the backseat.

Other than those few things, it's been a good truck so far.

My BIL has like a 2018 or 2019, whatever year was first to have the giant touch screen. Anyways, he likes it and hopes to pass it to his son in 6 years as his first truck.

I tend to look at RAMS as fat girlfriends. I don't want one. I'm waiting for the 2021 F150 or maybe I can wait long enough for the redesigned F250.

99 and 01 1500's both were ok trucks. Both needs new transmissions though. I believe Ram has fixed that issue. Only thing that sucks is the MPG for the 5.7 gas. It will NOT get what the sticker says it will.

Whenever Fiat bought out Chrysler, I think that is when the RAM trucks turned a new page. It was something like 2015 or so. It'd be impossible to compare anything older to the new generation of trucks.

I have a 2009 Larami that is spot on. Runs great looks great. And the interior is awesome.

I had the same dash, but I had it totally replaced 2 years ago. It`s nothing that a smooth $1000 wouldn`t fix and I got it done from a friend instead of taking it to a dealership.. It`s just the cost of doing business. Mine was not as bad as some I have seen.

I've only had one dodge truck. Made it to 40,000 miles before it threw a rod through the oil pan. 4,000 miles out of warranty and dodge told me to pound sand. Thing spent more time in the shop than on the road.
