I bought my 2014 Ram Megacab Diesel 4x4 brand spanking New figuring that I wouldn't have all the problems my older Rams had...boy was I mistaken. At 32,000 miles the radiator needed replaced and after that it all went downhill. Constantly had the check engine light coming on. Solinoids in the transmission were replaced 6 times and then the computer. Light still kept coming on. I finally had enough and sold it at 77,000 miles. I'll never again own a Ram.

TRUCK WAS TRADED IN FOR A 2018 RAM 2500 4x4 w/ Cummings Diesel. My truck with the 6.4 Hemi wasn't listed so I used the Laramie as the model. My 5th Ram since 2006 including my 2008 dually. I just can't find a better truck for the money. I've seen other comments and really don't know what direction the authors come from. I've driven my truck through water that came up over the chrome step assists.....never had an issue. Back up camera works fine. Takes getting used to when all you have been doing is using mirrors in the past....but I have never had to make more than 3 attempts to hook up to my RV. Plenty of cabin room, has all the gadgets and doodads, (although I do miss the CD player), and it does any job asked of it. It's had a few recalls, but I think every damn car/truck in my neighborhood has too. It's towing capacity is a bit fuzzy. Ram's website says 15k other sites say 16k. Have had issues with tire vibrations at 70-75mph but the dealer is working to resolve. I finally got rid of the factory tires and put Cooper on/off road tires on. Resolved the issue for the most part. I have found that bad dealer service puts a bad taste in customers mouths and they post comments about their vehicles reflecting not so much the vehicle as the dealer. I have had a great dealer, Arrigo in SawGrass, FL, so I guess I'm lucky. I even drive there from FL to have it serviced. Great service advisor,Alana, who ENSURES customer satisfaction. **** After driving from FL to Yellowstone...then to MA I learned that although the 6.4 Hemi is a strong engine, it doesn't like pulling 10k in RV weight up steep hills. Lots of downshifting and high RPM' s. If I had to do it again, I would go back to the 3500 diesel dually I owned. Likely will go to the 3500 again but not the dually. You just need the torque to pull heavy trailers. The built in Jake brake is great. Works well but still puts a strain on the engine on steep declines. Despite this, I'm still a Ram fan.

The Federal Government had no clue with mandates

First of all, this is my 3rd Ram diesel. And, had 2 Ford Superduty diesels before. From a comfort and interior room, hard to beat this truck. The Laramie package has heated and cooled bucket seats, very comfortable in Texas weather. You can move the drivers/passenger seat all the way back and not hit anyone knees who are sitting in the back seat. The back seat will slightly recline if so desired. Pulling power...hard to beat. 4x4 works great and will get you out of a jam as long as you have gotten rid of the stock tires they put on these trucks. They are NOT off road tires. This would be a great truck if the Federal Government had just left things well enough alone. This wonderful Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system the Government mandated be on these truck. I am ok with it being there. But, if the system encounters an error, you get a check engine light and a message telling you that after 150 miles...your max speed is going to be 5mpg. Do the Feds not understand that in middle American, SW America especially in many parts of Texas...you are 175 miles or more from a dealership. I guess in Washington, there are dealerships within a 25 mile range. Where in the world did they come up with such a mileage limitation. So, beware if you live remotely and buy a diesel...you may end up stranded or limping along at 5mph for several hours.

Ram 2500 6.7 4x4 - Great Truck!

2014 Ram 2500 6.7 diesel 4x4 Laramie. This has been a great truck. Plenty of power to pull my 10k lb toyhauler and 11 mpg when towing. Love the built in exhaust brake. Very good ride with the 5 link coil suspension. Comfortable and quiet cab. My previous truck was a 2003 Ford F250 4x4 V-12 gasser that got 6mpg while pulling.

I have owned several trucks. FORD, CHEVY and DODGE. By far the best purchase I have ever made. RAM hit the nail on the head with this truck. I wasn't sure about owning a diesel with DEF fluid, but with the fuel mileage I get I have no problem with it. It only consumes DEF fluid when I pull and it doesn't go through that much. When empty I don't use any. Big advantage to Ram is there is a gauge so you see your level of DEF fluid vs dummy lights on Ford and Chevy. And to fill the DEF tank is right next to the fuel. Chevy you have to pop the hood to fill the DEF tank. The diesel is amazing, huge amounts of torque when pulling and the fuel mileage is crazy. Empty I get about 23mpg Hwy and 18 in town. Pulling a 10K trailer 75 mph I get 13 and it doesn't slow down for any hill or mountain. Just set the cruise and go. Reliability is standard Cummins reputation. Diesel still require the maintenance, if you ignore it you will pay for it. I went with Ram Cummins because of the issues with Duramax eat injectors and Powerstrokes have had issues in the past and Ford Dealerships are garbage.
