I use this truck for my farming and I tell you the Ram 3500 never let me down. I have a 5 speed manual transmision with 4 wheel drive. I elected to have the V10 engine and it's a monster. Very please with my truck selection and being a old time Dodge man for over 58 years, The Dodge 3500 V10 4x4 is a workhorse always ready to delivery the job task.

Bought this vehiclefor hauling eventing horses on the show circuit. Travelled over 12,000 miles from San Antonio to Toronto, Canada and back with many side trips, what a pleasure. Heated leather seats were unbelievable. Not a single mechanical problem with the engine or anything else. Whether back roads or expressway, this baby handled like a dream. Parking was a breeze. The sound system was a life saver on the long hauls. Never felt so safe traveling. I am a 5'2" female. This is the vehicle for any woman who wants the ultimate in safety and comfort in a full size truck.

I stepped up from a '96 1500. I was needed the additional hauling capacity as I have 32' trailer I use to haul 5 horses. I've hauled it from Greensboro, NC to Chicago, IL and back on a three day trip with no hassles. The Cummins TurboDeisel handled the mountains of WV without dropping from the posted speeds. The cab is well designed with all controls w/in easy reach.

This has been a good truck for me. My only beef is with the price of parts. The muffler is a "Dealer Only" item, almost $400.00 I wish I would have waited and got the manual transmission.

I bought a Ram 3500 4x4 diesel and put a utility bed, Mile Marker winch and a complete Banks system on it new. Now 24 years and 256,000 miles later I still love it and planed to keep it. I pull heavy and drive hard. It has gone through 6 automatics and 1 injector pump and only gets about 15 mpg but it will pull 30,000 and run with the best. However in 10/24 I hit a rock wall and totaled it. Even then we came out with only minor injuries thanks to its strength.
