I upgraded from a 2006 2500 4x4 CTD 6 speed manual. The difference between these trucks is night and day. I feel the build quality has improved over the 06 Ram, interior materials seem to be better. The 08 Ram has a lot more power then the 06 and the exhaust brake is a nice feature.The leather seats are nicer and more comfortable then the cloth. Ride is actually softer in the 3500 then the 2500. The truck handles better as well. Cup holder still sucks. Wish they would improve it. Engine is very quiet, more quiet then a 07 Duramax. You cannot hear the engine at highway speeds, the wind noise is louder! Over all the truck is very quiet and refined. Laramie package is a must!
6.7 motor is Huge disappointment

The whole idea behind having a diesel is that you get reasonable gas mileage while towing things. My old truck was a 1999 CTD 5.9 and I loved the motor. It towed things, got good gas mileage,"up to 23 mpg unloaded", it was very reliable, and I still got 16 while towing my boat or trailer. The 6.7 gets more like 15 mpg on average and drops to about 8-10 mpg when hauling things. What that means is that I cannot afford to drive this truck. I think that Dodge must have been associating a little too closely with the environmentalists. The old Cummins motor was an incredible piece of engineering, this new motor with it's clogged up exhaust and EGR junk is just a piece.

I did a huge upgrade from a Toyota Tundra for the increased towing capacity for my new camper. I love the truck, the power, and especially the interior size. What a monster....won't even come close to fitting in my garage! This is my first American made truck and was a little discouraged with the cost of the "extras" Overall it is a great truck with more towing capacity than I will ever need.
Its time for Dodge to Step Up!

I Have a 2008 3500 Mega Cab 4x4 SWR truck. I have had this truck for less than 2 months. I use this truck but treat it very well. My rear driveline came into contact with the ground (very gently and at less than 1 mile an hour), this is supposed to be a 4x4 Heavy Duty Truck, this is not, Dodge has put an aluminum driveline in this heavy duty truck that is so delicate that you can punch it and dent it. Ranchers, Cowboys and Cowgirls and Hunters BEWARE, this is no heavy duty truck. Dodge will not stand behind this issue and it will cost $850.00 to replace the driveline. That is right I have to replace the driveline with less than 4000 miles on a $50,000 truck. Not heavy duty at all!
I Love My Truck

This is my 4th Dodge(3rd dually) and they just keep getting better. I traded my 05 Dodge dually only because of the high milage and no extended warrenty. Being a female on the road a lot with horses, I need reliable transportation. The 6.7 Cummins has incredible power, the truck has a smoother handle, the interior is very roomy and comfortable. I love the reclining/folding back seats. Not to mention the fact that this truck turns heads everywhere I go. The diesel enginge is quieter, but still grunts "powerhouse". The exhaust brakes are awesome, although I only hauled 8000lbs which was probably too light for that feature. I can drive the Mega or the Porsche convertible. Sorry Porsche!
