Hey everyone, I had a 2002 Suburban that was just starting to cost me too much money in repairs, after an extensive search...I ordered the all new 2019 Ram 1500 tradesman earlier this year and received it from the factory just weeks before I was to leave for work in another state. It was anxiety not knowing if the truck would arrive in time, but it did. I choose the color Maximum Steel and this color is awesome, sometimes the truck looks blue, charcoal or black...well to me anyway. Since then, I have added an ARE Cap and Yakima roof rack system. The truck tows my camper without hesitation and being I work in Florida and Maine, it makes the drive pleasant. The gas mileage was a surprise: average 20.4 and when I tow I get around 15...far better than the old Suburban. I've had a rear window leak and is currently being fixed under warranty, its frustrating to have a new vehicle with issues but the guys at the dealership here in Maine are taking care of it. My only other complaint is the radio: it randomly cuts out, it doesn't matter if its radio, bluetooth or XM...almost acts like a loose ground. I'll research the forums to see if anyone else has issues. Other than those issues, I am very happy with the truck as well as all the service I have received to date.
