This is my 3rd Ram 1500, and I've noticed a lot of key improvements over the years since 2006: - Better fuel economy - Better ride quality - More thoughtful interior design - Better anchors and tie-down points in the bed - Better power - Better transmission and transmission control

It is a reliable truck for driving a good distance. Has some issues. Oil leaks and I have to fill it up every so often. It rusts very easily around the tire area. Interior is very clean looking and performs well. It has problems with A/C. Overall, it will get you where you need to be.
