Great all around truck

Great all around truck, roomy good design there is only a few peronal touches I would add like a push button, and remote start. You just can not beat a Cummins engine.

Best Truck made

I purchased new a 2016 Ram 2500 with the appearance package in the Laramie trim. I bought at 4th of July when there was a total of 15k rebates. I paid 57k for a 72k list vehicle. It is equipped with the legendary Cummins motor This truck is like driving your couch down the road. I have not even come close to really taxing it’s capabilities. I have only towed up to approximately 15k with a 32ft V nose. I made a trip from WA-AZ-WA it pulled like a dream. I won’t say it did not notice the trailer but the only difference I noted was just an increase boost pressure while towing. I did average 15mpg and this truck is stock. No loss in performance and while towing holding 75 up the grades was no issue. Also I can not even begin to explain how amazing the exhaust brake performed. I don’t think I even used my brakes on down grades except for when other vehicles cut in front of me. There is no better truck made in my opinion. To be fair I was bitten twice by Ford on the 6.0 and then on the 6.4. I was not about to be a guini pig again on the 6.7. I will say this truck is better in every way than the previous trucks HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Best bang for the buck

I'm in the market for a new diesel pick up & originally was looking at Ford but too expensive. Landed on the RAM and think they are a great rig.

Very reliable vehicle

The truck does all I need it to do. From pulling a camper, pulling tractors up and down the road or just driving it up and down the road, it is a ver good riding, very dependable truck.

Best truck I?ve ever owned

I?ve always been a Ram driver. Made the switch from 1500 to a 2500 all blacked out Ram Big Horn. And I love this truck!

Powerful Beast with the HEMI

This is one powerful truck. Hauls xxx and toys. Has a mean looking grill with extremely luxurious interior. Heated seats front and rear, heated mirrors, heated steering wheel, remote start. It has things even some mercedes don't have.

Good value

This truck has everything I need. It is the tradesman model, it doesn?t have all the bells and whistles, although I don?t need that in a working vehicle. Plenty of power, set up for towing. Great value for the money.

Big Truck - Powerwagon

So far so good, just traded for it. Has the 6.4 Hemi which is impressive power thus far and the perks of the Powerwagon model are functional as well as cool! Coming from a 6.7 Powerstroke F-250 and very pleased initially, expect it to tow the 5th wheel well as did the former but with less continued expense when also used as daily driver.
