if your looking for a truck that can do it all, this is it. my only complaint is the gas mileage 12mpg average. to me "RAM has always said get out of my way" I have owned several RAM's all but this one 3500's diesel.

Known issues without fixes from Ram

I have a 2015 Ram 2500 with the Cummings diesel and have many recalls and issues with the DEF system the computer system and issues with the lug nuts and studs. The dealership say that all the 8 nut systems are hard to get the nuts off and on and that this has been like that for many years. Working with aircraft and auto parts, I know that this is either defective parts or poor maintenance by over tightening with impact tools rather than using a torque wrench as they should do. And to replace those nuts, it cost $8-10 per nut and about the same for the studs. I have had to have my catalytic converter, my DEF pump and had my computer reprogrammed many time for a number of issues. I think that this should be classified as a lemon.

Luxury car on steriods

Condensed version. The cumbersome "Thing" doesn't know what it is. Decked out like a luxury car with oversized trunk pretending to be a truck? It's an over priced glitzy "looker" and that's about it. At around $52,000 I guess it's gotta be something? Thought I could live with it or get used to it. After around a year of owning, I actually hate getting into it trying to use or driving it. Pain to get everything into and out of because of the height. Even people, using wheel to wheel side steps. Cargo? Right? Too high up to be practical for loading and unloading most anything. Might be okay for towing something with 6.4L Hemi engine? But? Isn't the truck bed meant to carry materials eliminating the need to use trailers most of the time? The layout stinks for use as a truck inside and out. Touch screen crap, steering controls or voice commands are not practical or laid out well. CD player hidden in center console? Annoying chrome handle on center console glares sunlight in eyes while driving. What's practical? Not much to me for either driver or passenger use. Turning steering wheel sometimes turns stations, volume or dash settings from one thing to another by rubbing up against hands, fingers or legs. Self dimming rear view mirror too impractical especially with rear tinted windows. - Throws off perspective for me. Climate control blower sounds like jet engine - but blows poorly. Cruise control "on" function blanks out digital speed indicator when first turned on is nerve wracking when setting speed. ECO mode is about worthless. Rarely works. Had checked. Response? "It's okay, you must have lead foot." - Um, it's posted 55 mph off my driveway. Only time ECO comes on is downhill or coming to a halt. Worthless for highway cruising. 4x4 with factory supplied HT's, (Highway Tires) makes little to no sense for most off road applications. Or, even driving in sand or snow in 4 low. Changed mfg HT tires at 3000 miles to AT's. Better. Help/support/loyalty? Dealers within 100 miles around here are mostly useless for anything. Tire pressure is around 60 psi front 80 psi rear TPMS setting is too high for normal unloaded driving and is supposedly adjustable by dealer - by ones who know what they are doing. None here do. Changed oil when asked to adjust tire pressure. Check everything else but headlight alignment when stating poor nighttime visibility. At another dealer? Had truck for most of day and didn't do anything when high beams wouldn't come on. The closest dealer? Blew up an engine by putting wrong oil filter on someone else's vehicle among other things. Trust them? Not today or tomorrow. As of right now the vehicle is worth around $39,000 - from $52,000! Depreciated that much already and can't even use it for normal intended purposes as general purpose P/U? Am keeping "it" for now to remind myself not to buy another over priced off scale impractical luxury car masquerading as a truck until the time is right to buy a real and more practical vehicle - to use as a general purpose pickup truck. Also, according to all I've read, you cannot now put a snow plow on half ton trucks, just 2500's and up. Even then, the 1500's or half tons are as gargantuan as the 2500's. Sometimes a person can't win for losing? Guess I'm out of luck finding a real truck until the newest soccer mom truck fad dies off? Until then, it's sitting until something more practical comes along or it lays an egg. Just like Ram did? Ticked off? Fill in the blanks? Finally and very thankfully got rid of it to someone else who could hopefully use it - or didn't know better?

It is not the most comfortable vehicle for long distance driving. It will haul great loads, tow very well, and generally feels safe and great to drive, but the seats lack that last bit of comfort. After 60K miles I still like it a lot, but it did require a seat cushion for lumbar support. I'd 6'2" and 250 lbs, so your milage may vary.

Great truck with stupid dodge rust

First off i want to say i am a few weeks outside of the corrosion warranty, and i do live in michigan where there is rust. Now, i am absolutely sick and tired of every dodge i buy rotting out. Ive owned nothing hut ram trucks and all the same issue so this time i go out and buy a nice 2015 2500 with about 75,000 on it and sure enough in no time at all the truck starts rotting out at the wheel wells like normal. I am extremely displeased that a $45,000+ truck will rust out in 5 years, i mean come one, 5 years. After this experience i am not sure i will own another dodge ram again. Truck runs and drives great with no issues, plenty of power and great mileage for what it is.
