Used Ram Ram Pickup 1500 Laramie for Sale

I drove this truck for 99,000 miles from 2008 - 2015. Overall it was a reliable vehicle. The Rams have always been the kind of truck that is easy to get in a drive without much of a learning curve in terms of throttle/brake sensitivity. The dashboard and radio, Uconnect, and heat controls were easy to use. Storage was adequate, with a center console, storage under the middle seat in the front, and a split 60/40 rear bench with fold out platforms underneath. The exterior was stylish and both the exterior and interior held up well to daily dirt road driving, salt, and mud. For interior quality, the Laramie edition was mid-range, but it felt like a tradesman in terms of comfort. The seats were rock hard! The backseat was very narrow and could not accommodate a car seat in the rear and a reasonably sized adult in the front. That being said, I really liked that I could still access the under seat storage for 2/3 of the rear seat even with a car seat in place. I experienced one major breakdown (power steering pump). I was disappointed to find that this was not included in the power train warranty. Otherwise, I only had minor problems (1 speaker crackled starting around 20,000 miles and passenger side seat belt was occasionally difficult to engage). I had concerns about the transmission shifting rather hard starting around 75,000. At 99,000, still no problems, but I suspect the transmission would have failed eventually. The tow capacity on this truck wasn't great and neither was it's ability to get up to highway speeds. It got there eventually, but it always felt like it was dragging. I towed a boat through Canada and didn't have any problems, but it wasn't a particularly enjoyable ride. My biggest reason for not recommending this vehicle is MPG. I averaged about 13, which was acceptable in 2008, but in 2015 trucks are doing much better! We topped out at 15 MPG highway and 8 MPG towing. This is a good truck for anyone with a large dog. Mine was more comfortable on the fold flat platform instead of the narrow seat, and this option definitely saved some wear and tear on the fabric.
