• “Great truck. Drives like a car. Love it.”
• “Just took at 3,500-mile drive and it was a pleasure. At 75 mph we were getting 26.5 mpg, so about a 700 mile range on a tank full. When we were doing 55 mph we were over 40 mpg.”

Interior and Comforts

Things are great on the inside as well.

• “Great comfort, space and interior controls.”
• “The interior of the Laramie is impressive along with all the technological enhancements, this truck can respond to your every command and can keep you connected by hands free phone, text, navigation, music and on an on! I have been in 2016 Ford and 2016 Chevy and their ride and power don’t compare, plus their technology leaves much to the imagination, small screen interface and complicated instrumentation!”
