Default Going on to 4 months now

Like I said going on to 4 months and 4039 miles now owning my 2012 Crew Cab 4X4 Big Horn 1500.

I owned 4 other Dodge trucks over the years.

I can say this is the best truck I ever owned out all the truck and beats the 3 Fords trucks I owned hands down also.

It has a fantastic ride, Very Comfortable, Plenty of power from the Hemi the Crew Cab works out great for the kids have there own doors I had a 2006 Q Cab worked great before when they were young and had short legs.

The Crew Cab is the way to go the kids are taller have long legs growing everyday I can even sit in the back seat with plenty of leg room to spare I am 6.2 with the front seat in the rear postion.

It would been nice if it had a longer bed but I dont haul anything anymore like I was younger it has a bed cover on this truck it more or less a very big trunk to put the family junk in it when we go on road trips between the Wife and Daughter and her friends plenty of room for them plus under the bed cover for there stuff that they want to bring with them.

As for MPG for what it's can't complain but going from a Hybrid 37 MPG was hard to go back to a truck took some getting use to from $40.00 to fill it now cost $90.00+ hurts LOL.

I purchased the Hybrid after selling the 2006 Q Cab just was not me I had the Car 6 months then Purchased my new 2012 Ram I am a truck person.

I have to say this one nice truck.

Oh ya for the Exhaust for me it perfect quite during cruise and when you foot in it has a nice rumble to it.

I had very LOUD cars before I am just getting old at 50 years things change between where I work it's noisy and having wife and daughters talking my ear off quite now adays is nice to have.

I love this truck just not the payments LOL.

Good to hear another member enjoy his ride. I'm only currently at 26k miles, its been a little over three years now, and the only warranty issue was the passenger side shock leaking at 18k miles.

I agree though, this truck is very comfortable. I used to drive 60 miles a day for work, my business relocated, now I drive 17 miles a day round trip. I'm constantly asked by friends and family how this Sport RAM ride handles. My only response is it handles compatible to a midsize sports sedan, huge difference from my previous '07 Hemi Big Horn. Although, I do miss having leafs in the rear on some occasions when hauling heavier objects

I normaly when the gas gauge hits 1/4 I fill it it I dont like running down to empty the Gas keeps the fuel pump cool and helps keeps it from burning up the pump.

Plus I like knowing if something happens to come up there's always gas in the truck just in case.

I dont let my wife dirve my truck she runs down to empty I have to bring her gas couple time she runs them down to empty, Plus she has wrecked every car she has driven it a mather of time before she gets in to anouther wreck would you let your wife drive you'rs knowing this.

Thats what I used to try to tell me ex all the time and she still would only put a little in at a time. I always kept mine full. My bike stays full also and I keep three cans of fuel out in the shop

You just never know

3 years 0% financing. Payments end the same day as the warranty!
