this is my first new dodge,only have 1700mi.on it now.its a basic st model,no pwr locks & windows.has cruise & air 6spd auto.it has lotsa power,engine jake brake is nice,very quiet for a diesel.the stock stereo is thest stock one ive had.if a person wants a truck to pull heavy loads this is one to seriously consider w/engine brake and tow/haul mode which you can manually up and down shift is sweet.i get 15-16mpg around town and 18-19 hiway.same as my 06 f-150 i traded in.the doors dont seem to have as much meat on them as my ford did,but so far im very happy.

I purchased this vehicle to tow with when I retire. We have only had it for a couple of months, however I have put 5000 miles on it already. I was apprehensive with regard to the new emission system and fuel economy but it got 19 right out of the gate and I hope it gets better with time and the cold air intake that is on order. The truck is a joy to drive and it tows very well.

My truck is junk!

I bought the new 6.7 liter Cummins. What a piece of junk. My truck has not run properly since I purchased it. I have had it in 6 times because of 02 sensors sooting, turbo charger sooting, turbo replacement, 02 sensor replacement, replacement of map sensor, replacement of barometer sensor and now to top it off my truck smokes like a chimney at random. Do not buy the new Cummins 6.7! Chrysler deserves to go bankrupt and out of business permanently!

Love My 2500 with the Cummins 6.7L Diesel

I've had my new Ram for 1,200 miles and so far no problems. I've towed a tandem trailer with ease and the ride has been very acceptable. The seats are firm but comfortable. Love the storage behind the seats. The stereo sounds wonderful. I average 13.7mpg with trailer and 14.9 without. Lots of hills to traverse. The exhaust brake is fabulous. Run it all the time. So long as you get the truck out on the open road at freeway speed for 45 minutes periodically, the emission system will regen. It's a better and safer system than Ford or Chevy which uses diesel fuel to burn the particulates off. Their fuel mileage suffers for it. Look what happened to Ford and the famous flame out the tailpipe incident

Strength, Build Quality & Easy to Drive

I just took delivery on a 2008 SLT 4X4 2500 with auto and 6.7L Diesel. What a truck! This vehicle handles like a 1/2 ton but the ride is a bit tighter. I went from a 2002 Toyota Tundra TRD 2WD access cab. I like the quad cab door arrangement as I always felt that the suicide style doors of the rear Tundra were worthless in parking lot when your right next to another car. This Dodge actually turns better (turning radius) than the Tundra but parking is still a slight challenge. The long bed or Mega cab with the longer wheel base would be much worse. The engine has power to spare and mileage on freeway at 65 is 21 - 22mpg with 100 miles on car...around town is not so good...12 - 15 mpg.

I bought this truck for one reason the cummins engine I thinkk they make a very good motor and I havent had and problems with the turbo or exhaust, but then again I drive 1000 miles a week between jobsites on the highways so it stays cleaned out. At 50,000 miles though the transmission acted up took it to the dealership they said it was a sensor ended up paying 1300$ for a sensor seems rediculous after they replaced that still they test drove it didnt shift right said they would have to get further into it to find the problem calls me back said you need a whole new transmission now so that will be 5000$ more. paid alot of money for a piece of junk truck basically. Wish i had my f150 back

2008 Dodge 2500 w/6.7 Cummins

I bought the 2008 Dodge 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins Diesel. After test driving the Chevy and Ford the decision on what type of truck to buy was easy. Dodge all the way! I tow a 27' boat that weighs 9500 lbs and it tows with ease. The mega cab is a must. What a difference, especially if you have passengers. The gas mileage is decent and keeps improving. I would suggest this vehicle to anyone who wants to buy a truck,
