2019 Power Wagon

All the hype, believe it. This is my second one and I don’t have a single regret. Engine pulls strong and lots of low/mid range torque thanks to the 4.10 gears and new 8 speed. Big improvement over the 6 speed. No longer does it have to hunt for gears. Very peppy, doesn’t feel like a 3/4 ton truck when you drive it. I’ve used the winch plenty to pull out cars and equipment. Love how the new winch line is now synthetic. Floor shifter is also nice because you can actually feel the truck engage instead of a button. Truck looks much better with 35s. Fuel economy is not great, but that’s a given. Slight improvement from the 6 speed. Payload is low but that’s because of the soft suspension for the off-road capability. Probably wise to bag it if you are towing heavy. The only thing I’ve had to replace was a tail light because the led went out. I have 67k on it now and that’s the only thing I’ve had to replace, which was covered under warranty. FYI if you go up to a 35, the tire will not fit under the truck like the factory 33. The only thing I wish I would have gotten was the trail cam. It is big so be mindful of what trails you take it on. It’s not as narrow and nimble as a Jeep but it will crawl over just about anything. Only thing I’ve added besides the 35 Duratracs, Factor 55 Ultrahook, Diamondback HD Cover, is the Pulsar Piggyback to the ECM. Mainly to use for the larger tire calibration on the Speedo and to turn off the MDS. Definitely “feels” faster on the butt dyno, but I usually run it in tow mode with MDS off, which holds the gears longer and throttle response is much more responsive like a pedal commander. This isn’t a garage queen, I drive it 100+ miles a day for work, City and highway. It’s a great truck that can do it all. Heavy hauling- just stick to the Cummins. Occasional off-roading just stick to the “off road package” that comes with a rear locker. I got this truck because I love the way it looks, great work truck for me, and I can play and not have to upgrade anything from the factory. If your on a budget get the tradesman with the Power Wagon package. I spend a lot of my time in the field so I opted for the nicer creature comforts.

Towing road king

I own the 2500 deisel model. I bought it to tow my 30 foot camper and needed something that could climb the mountain passes of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Montana. My truck tows so well and is so comfortable that an 8 hour day on the road is not fatiguing in the least bit. Mileage when towing is 11 to 14 MPG and 20 to 24 MPG empty. I have a history of encountering every imaginable animal on non-interstate highways so I installed a Ranch Hand cattle guard to protect the radiators up front which improved the looks of the truck quite a bit. I also added an auxhillary 40 gallon fuel tank in the bed since RAM does not offer large capacity tanks for rural traveling. Buying this truck won't have me second guessing any other make or model since it delivers on many key points needed to meet my needs. Comfort pleases the wife, power delivery pleases me, good fuel mileage pleases my wallet, safety features pleases the grand kids, and quite frankly, I can't find many faults with this truck. As a point of comparison, I have had 2 GMCs, 4 Fords, and this is my 3rd RAM in a row. Its a towing road king. Enough said.

my 2008 f250 continued to have issues, engine was great but not things attached or the trans. I got 250k out it but the repairs cost more than payments. I went with the 2500 on price point and got a tradesmen. I only have 2000 miles two long trips and all I can say is wow! The drive is luxurious for a truck and their is more power than I will ever need and the new body style I like more than Ford or GMC. My ford buddies call me a traitor :) but it was ten under and F250 XLT and I got more off with end of year sales. Will see in 200K what I think but This is the best truck I have ever own. Just enough tech, just enough extras but nothing over board. This diesel has a lot of punch. Down below it wont let me select 6.7

Bed does not align with the cab.

I ordered my Ram and waited 4 months for it to arrive. After driving it for 3,000 miles I notice the bed did not aline with the cab. I took it back to the dealer and they tried everything to correct the issue. The bed could not be fixed. Ram was contacted and reported back that I need to live with the problem. If you are looking for a HD truck. Buy a GMC. If you own a 2019 ram 2500 look at the bed to cab alignment.. Yours is probably off as well..

This is my ninth and last dodge truck. This one is a 2500 hemi powerwagon. Never again. They have been getting progressively worse over the years and this one is an overpriced junker. Nav/computer is awful and not fully functional. Everything electronic is unreliable. Less than 3 years old and I’m sitting here waiting for a tow truck. 4wd doesn’t engage well. Often doesn’t start. Then there are the days it doesn’t want to turn off. Won’t always get out of park even when completely level. Cruise control only works about 30 percent of the time. Truck thinks the axle lock is always on. Several recalls which means several wasted days at the dealership waiting and weeks of truck not being safe to drive while waiting for recall parts to arrive.
