60K FOR TIN & PLASTIC

2013 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn Edition 4dr Crew Cab LB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)

Aside from the motor, which is a Cummins 6.7 powerhouse, this truck is a tin and plastic, over-priced, dysfunctional piece of garbage. The constant dinging of warning messages from the bug-ridden computers that end up meaning little while scaring the bejabbers out of the driver is one of the biggest headaches of owning this vehicle. The now infamous 'Uconnect' system is so corrupt and full of bugs that it should aptly be re-named 'Disconnect'. The fact that FCA's response was 'go buy a new truck because we fixed the problems but you're not getting the software fixes' was particularly enraging. The batteries failed withing 26 months, the running board covers are cheap plastic and have been disintegrating since day one and are as slick as black ice when wet. The entire truck is nothing but thin plastic and even thinner metal that is easily dented by pushing on a malfunctioning door. I have a list of other things wrong with this piece of garbage as long as my arm and the truck is currently under several recalls, not the least of which is the catalytic converter. I don't see $60 in this truck let alone 60K.

We bought it used with 156,000 miles on it. Fully loaded Longhorn Laramie edition. Other than the backup camera not working, it is very nice so far. The previous owner took good care of it. So we will update once we use it more this year. We have the Cummings diesel pretty quiet for a diesel. Well, we had to put a new front end on it at the six month mark. They figured they used it on a farm and just ran it rough for the front end to give out. Everything else still running strong. Going to Grand Canyon from Washington State and back in April. Hopefully it will keep going. I am pretty secure we should enjoy the trip. After trip to Grand Canyon had to replace the drive shaft? At 65-75mph it felt like something was rubbing. I cant remember what they called it, but they did show me how badly that the metal had been worn down causing the shaking. Still running good, Love the interior, but tired of the mechanical issues. Noticed the shimy in the steering wheel is back. Have an alignment done and wheels rotated and balanced. Still there at 70+ mph. Not sure what that is?

Great Heavy Duty Truck

2011 Ram 2500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

The drop down menu does not offer the correct trim i have. I have a 2011 Ram 2500 HD 6.7L Cummins Diesel Engine, 6 speed automatic 4x4, Crew Cab 6.4ft short bed, Laramie Fully loaded Edition, Mono Rugged Brown Pearl. I did 4-5months of research on big 3 3/4 ton diesel trucks. I would be upgrading from a 07 Tacoma. Out of the big 3 I test drove 6 including the Ram 2500 Laramie I currently own and i have to say that im glad i bought this truck. The cummins is a great engine, the new 68re asian transmission is good and doesnt fish for gears like the 05 f-250 and 11 f-250 i test drove. exterior and interior design is wonderfull, functional and great quality. More truck for my buck was awesome
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!
