The Quad Cab configuration gives you four doors and a practical rear seat — ideal for families, work crews, or anyone who needs to move people and cargo on the same trip. The 6 1/3-foot bed offers solid utility without making the truck feel unwieldy in tighter spaces.

The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 in this RAM 1500 produces 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque in stock configuration — numbers that put it among the most capable half-ton engines ever built. Whether you're hauling a loaded trailer down I-75 or navigating a muddy job site, this engine delivers the kind of low-end grunt that makes real work feel effortless.
8-Speed Automatic Transmission and 4WD
Paired with RAM's smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission, the HEMI stays in its optimal power band whether you're crawling through traffic on Telegraph Road or cruising the freeway at highway speed. The 8-speed also helps with fuel efficiency — something owners of older 5.7-liter trucks will immediately notice. Four-wheel drive rounds out the drivetrain, giving Michigan drivers the traction they need during those long Wayne County winters when roads get slick fast.RAM 1500 Express Features and Interior
The Express trim on the RAM 1500 is designed for buyers who want the full mechanical package without the luxury price tag. Inside, you'll find a functional, no-nonsense cab layout with comfortable seating, easy-to-use controls, and enough room in the rear for adult passengers. The Quad Cab's rear doors open wide for easy access — a genuine convenience over crew cabs in tight parking situations.
RAM's interior ergonomics have long been praised in the segment, and even the Express trim benefits from the thoughtful layout RAM put into the 1500 platform during this generation. The UConnect infotainment interface, standard on most 2017 RAM 1500s, is intuitive and responsive. Expect working power windows, locks, and the kind of straightforward layout that lets you focus on the road and the load.RAM 1500 Reliability and Ownership
The 2013–2018 generation RAM 1500 is widely considered one of the most refined and dependable half-ton trucks ever produced. The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 has a decades-long track record of durability, and the ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic transmission is regarded as one of the best in the segment. Owners consistently report high satisfaction with this combination, citing confident towing, strong acceleration, and long-term dependability when routine maintenance is kept up.
Common ownership considerations for this era include checking the rear axle fluid, keeping up with spark plugs at higher mileage, and watching for MDS (Multi-Displacement System) related issues on neglected trucks — though when properly maintained, the system adds efficiency without sacrificing reliability. Overall, a well-kept 2017 RAM 1500 with 128K miles is a truck with plenty of life ahead of it.Why Buy From Turbo Motors?
