Hello All, I purchased my first Ram/Dodge 3 May 2019, then went on Vacation 5 Days later. Just got back and am having fun figuring out my new Ram! I've been planning on purchasing a Pickup for years. At first I thought I was getting a Ford...In fact November of 2016 I hit a deer in my 2000 GMC Yukon XL and figured it would be totaled so I went Ford shopping. However, the insurance adjuster gave me an option to get it repaired and I jumped at the chance. Fast forward to now, and I was planning to buy a GMC AT4 by the end of the year to replace my aging Yukon XL. I have been impressed with my 19 year old Yukon so I decided I would give GMC another go. Well, I made the mistake of test driving the RAM (as well as the GMC and Ford) and it was a no brainer. I have now come full circle, because about 10 years ago, I was interested in the Ram pickup...lol. Anyway, I am happy to join the forum and have already found useful information by viewing the wealth of info on this site. Thanks for all the info.

Awesome purchase, man. I also came from GM and probably will never go back again! Welcome aboard.

Beautiful truck.

They had it roped off in the showroom? Never seen that before on a Pickup

I was in the same boat and had my heart sat on the new Silverado Trail Boss. Then I sat in one and it felt cheap and underwhelming. I did like the exterior, but the at times wasn’t in love with the front end. The new Ram was just too impressive inside and out and I pulled the trigger Monday July 1st after all these amazing deals were to be had. Having never owed a Ram or FCA product, I was a little hesitant, but boy this vehicle has really impressed me.

You made and great choice and your Ram looks fantastic! Congratulations.

Yup, I thought I was going to buy another Tundra ( I didn't even want a new truck, mine was fine, but I wanted the cash from it and traded that for a payment).

Test drove Ford, Toyota, Nissan, and Ram. (I sat in a Chevy at the Big E and that was enough for me to know)

Can't possibly pay what they want for any truck nowadays and walk out of a dealer with anything less nice than the Ram. Just didn't make sense.
