Thus far extremely reliable

My 2006 F350 diesel was struggling towing my 40 1/2 ' Fifth Wheel Camper, Hill were a chore. This 3500 with a Cummins 6.7 Diesel has nearly TWICE the torque of the Ford plus the ride is light years better. I can actually enjoy listening to my radio now it's so quiet as compared to the Ford.

Nothing out their I think is better then my 2016 .

The best truck for your buck...I will tell you though...if you are thinking about getting a 2500 Cummins truck to pull a heavy load...please take my advice and go with the srw 3500 hd...We went with the 3500 and are so glad we did as we pull a 13000lb 5ther...you don't even know it's behind you...the 2500 and 3500 are night and day...If your gonna pull 20000lbs or more...i would recommend a dually afcourse...I was passing corvettes going over the bighorns pulling our loaded up 5ther at 65mph like it was nothing...Thanks Ram..and thanks Cummins for your badassery!!!

Not happy at all 2016 Ram 3500 6.7 drop number 6 c

05 Ram 3500 5.9 700000 MI best vehicle ever owned retired that truck in 2015. Bought 2016 Ram 3500 6.7 150000 miles dropped number 6 cylinder absolutely no reason at all doing a little reading up on it and they are having a problem from 15 on up. Used Dodge for hauling over the road entire life but no more. P.S. mind you Vehicles always serviced every trip 3000 Mi round trip Above & Beyond on service

Outstanding value

Have been searching for this truck for months and found it at Vernon Auto Group at a great price. The drive was definitely worth it.

best towing in class

Pulled my 42ft 5th wheel over the rocky mtns with ease!! couldn't even tell it was there. Very comfortable drive , we drove from Colorado to Kentucky and it was one of the smoothest rides I have every had.

Went down at 28,000 miles

Got this 2016 3500 dually bighorn for towering a 5th wheel toy hauler. Made one trip and now it is stuck in a low gear . Will not go over 30. Only has 28,000 miles. Very disappointed. Will get it fixed and trade it for a Ford. Stay away for Ram .
