The 2017 Ram 1500 is proof of that. As the oldest among its competitors, the full-size Ram is no dog. It offers a full complement of solid engines—each its own tool for a specific job, handsome interiors, intuitive features, and increased comfort.
The 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 earns a 6.0 overall rating out of 10, just short of the F-150, but an above-average score that reflects its good feature set, good performance, and handsome style. Like other full-size pickups, it fails in fuel economy and its age is starting to show in its safety scores.

Consumer Review
“Let me just say that I grew up in a Chevy household and I previously owned and loved my Ram. When it came time to replace my Ram 1500, I was positive that I would be buying a new Ram truck. My husband convinced me to drive the new F-150. I found both the Ford F-150 and the Ram 1500 online at my local dealers, both had comparable options and pricing and I scheduled the test drives for the same night. At the end of the night, my mind was easily made up. I went back the next day and bought the Ford F-150 Lariat FX4. I am in LOVE with this truck. The quality of the interior is superior, the handling is amazing, both when I am towing and when I'm not. The cab is super quiet, the ride is great, especially for a truck and it drives like a truck. I like that. It does not drive like some oversized car. I have the 2.7L EcoBoost® V6, and gas mileage is better than I expected. I get about 15-16 mpg mixed driving and 19-20 mpg highway. I live in Vancouver, where we base travel on time not distance, because traffic here can be a gridlock, so I'm pretty impressed. LOL! The truck has enough power to get out of its own way, nice acceleration getting on the highway, but handy enough to manage the traffic and get in and out of the parking garages. I purchased the SuperCrew Cab and there is more than enough room in the back for my 6'4" son. The back seat floor is flat, so when you fold the seats up you have a ton of room to transport items that you might not want to toss in the bed. I have the 501A package and all the options included that are fantastic. I love the remote start and keyless entry. I did have the dealer install running boards. Even as tall as I am (5'9"), I didn't want to break down the edge of the driver’s seat climbing in and out. Overall I love this truck and would recommend to anyone looking for a new vehicle.” – Coastal Ford Customer
