Best Truck made

The 2012 Ram 2500 HD 4WD is in my opinion the best truck made. Mine has the 6.7L Cummins and automatic transmission. 2012 was the last year before the DEF system was added and 2011 and 2012 were the only years with no DEF and the 800Ft Lb of torque (up from 650 in 2010 and previous years). Truck has amazing power and acceleration, handles great, rides good for a heavy duty truck, tons of interior space for family, and does great on fuel (for a heavy duty truck). And nothing beats the sound of a Cummins!

If you drive in dusty conditions know ac condenser plugged in 6 mths. But biggest problem has been electrical, flasher and dome light goes on and off for no reason. Truck has been at Dodge dealer for close to 2 mths and we still do not have an eta.

10K miles 2500 4x4 Ram/Cummins DIESEL

I bought my Ram in Nov with 20 miles on it, and just rolled over 10K, so far it's been 100% reliable, and a fun vehicle to drive. I went from a 500+ hp Mustang Cobra to this truck, and while I do miss the accleration and handling, overall the truck definitely makes up for the Mustang.

I purchased the truck last month and wow.... We acquired the new CUMMINS engine with the new high output upgrade. The truck now has the best power in class bar none. It rides like a dream and is very well appointed in the Laramie package. I beleive you couldn't purchase a better truck .
