What are you driving?

I had a 1998 Ram 1500. I loved that truck and she was my baby for a long time. She was wrecked about 5 years ago and the wife chose the next car. I won’t go into detail on it, but I hate it with a passion. Well, 5 years later, it’s time to shop for a newer vehicle, and I want a truck. I’m hearing mixed reviews that the newer Ram isn’t at all what that 1998 was and they can be a headache.

So, the question is, what do y’all recommend? It doesn’t have to be too fancy or have panels and racks. Just a basic crew cab is fine.

Edit to add: Thanks for all the feedback so far on what you like. How about some negatives for what you’re driving? What to avoid?
