My 2016 RAM 2500 Diesel has been great. MPG is about 19 around town. No issues what so ever. It is a Beast! It is a big truck and I've had to adjust to the size, but I bought it to tow and haul and it does that well. Time will tell, but so far, so good.

poor shift points

I bought this ram new and pull about 10k weekly, diesel motor, auto,with 342 gears, when pulling a hill in tow mode the truck will start to build power and then it decides to shift into a higher gear.this makes the truck labor up the hill, you then have to use the tap shifter to shift down to regain it's power, very poor setup on rams part, called the dealer on it.can't change it. This is not good for the transmission, no wonder they have transmission problems, also the interior fabric feels like berlap, mirrors are for highway use ,convex mirrors are misleading in backing up a trailer, the good part is nice handling truck, fuel milage is very good. Will probably have to put a tuner on it to make it perform and shift like it should.

I've owned Ford trucks for the last 20 years. If Ram keeps building their trucks like this, they'll keep me as a customer. You can't beat the value for money and I think they are the best looking trucks on the road today. I've owned my 5.7 4X4 express crew cab for a few weeks and couldn't be happier with it. It's the smoothest riding truck I've ever owned, has plenty of power and enough bells and whistles for me. The only complaint I have is the seats could be a little more comfortable.

engine light keeps turning on

I have had the 6.7 deisel in the shop 4 times. 4900 miles on. the truck. Light comes on they fix something according to code readout. Take the truck back. Take out on the road light comes back on. Ground Hog day nightmare. What happens when I get past warranty. It seems to be associated with the emissions system. Replaced nox sensor last go around. This seems to be a huge ram problem. Go on the web I'm not the only one. The local service people have tried hard but they can't fix what Ram has built. The saga continues

Acceptable Oil Consuption

Dodge Ram 2500 6.4 engine - At 1,000 miles, I notice that the oil was about 1/2 a quart low, checked again at 2,000 miles - full 1 quart low. I put a quart of 0-40w synthetic oil. Again at 3,000 miles - 1/2 quate low and at 4,000 mile had to add another quart. Dealers tell you the recommended oil change interval is 6000 miles between oil changes however, they do not tell you about oil consumption (based on Ram's "Acceptable Oil Consumption" maintenance notification - one quarter every 2,000 miles at over $10.00 per quart is within their accepable level). That only applies if you have less that 50,000 miles, after that, it's one quated for every 750miles. Love the truck - hate the oil consumption. Buyer beware - ask about any Dodge or Ram models there maintenance flier regarding "ACCEPTABLE Oil Consumption" - its the same.
