I have the 2017 Ram 2500 4x4 Hemi 6.4 Mega with 38k miles. The Hydralic Control Unit for ABS just went out and the dealer won't cover it because its over warranty. Called Corporate and they also denied it. This is a safety issue more then a maintenance issue and Chrysler needs to address this issue. According to research its a common problem. There needs to be a recall on this part. Dealer is charging $900 to fix.

Rides like a truck, not a car. Bunch of power 💪,14 mpg. Really like the tall feel. Favorite truck 🚚 I've owned. Put bigger tires on it, 12 may on good day. Went to Montana hunting, lots of snow ❄ and mud. Did very well!

My favorite feature of driving was the seamless shifting of the 6 speed automatic! The back seat is the greatest my kids and friends call it the Truck-O-Zine!

Headlights give poor lateral vision. Difficult on turns at night. Otherwise well designed vehicle. Sound system could be somewhat better. Off road package goes everywhere.

My 2017 Ram 2500 was bought to haul a travel trailer with a gross weight 0f 10,000. I ordered it with with the Big Horn Package and added Nav and air suspension. It has front and rear sensors and is a new cab. I ordered the roof marker lights because they look cool. I have hauled with it from NY State to Texas twice and numerous shorter trips including Virginia, Pennsylvania, and several NYS campgrounds. I have had all the recalls done but never had a problem with them. I am dissatisfied with a weld to correct a steering problem that required a replacement part. The 6.4 gas engine and 6 speed transmission get me on average 9.5 mpg hauling. As a daily driver, not the best.It uses too much gas ( 12.5 mpg) around town and is a bear in urban areas, similar to all 3/4's. On the highway, 17 mpg is normal. Overall very comfortable, great ride and love hauling with it. Note 6.4, not 5.7
