Better have a good test drive , before you got one. Mine, brand new 2500 Cummins has coolant leaks, transfer case leaks, hard shifter.just out of the dealer i remember asking the guy why the shifter was hard and he said something like the truck was warming up. looks something happened to it in the assembly line or dealerships delivery, or they just didn't build it right, something, cause a brand new truck couldn't not have these many problems... So truck is in shop at dealer they are going to change a seal lol for a brand new unthinkable, and the coolant leaks they have to find and fixe so I will see how things go. It's just I love the brand I love the RAM

This truck is better than I imagined. Great combination of comfort and brute strength. Everything about the body, frame, doors, hitch...says this it's made to be a work horse! The Midnight edition in Patriot Blue gets double-takes for sure!

Replaced my 2014 Ram 1500 Eco-Diesel with a 2500 Big Horn 6.4L Cummins HEMI while on a long road trip pulling a 6,500lb travel trailer. My, oh my. The last 1,000 miles of my trip included long grades and mountain summits, yet towing and handling was effortless beyond my expectations. But not surprising. Fuel economy was well below what I experienced with the Eco-Diesel, as expected. Fit and finish are what you hope for in a new vehicle, and I haven't been disappointed. The ride on open roads in a heavy duty truck with stiffer suspension is comfortable, but not the quiet, smooth ride I had in my Eco-Diesel, I'll really appreciate this truck when I upgrade my trailer into a larger, heavier rig. My only issue is a minor one, but can anyone explain why FCA doesn't make rear wheel well liners standard equipment?

I’ve had my 2500 6.7 for a year and I have 10000 miles on it. Haven’t had any issues with it and it does everything I ask it to do. Only complaint I would have is it goes through DEF. Mileage is decent for this size of truck. Pulls my camper really well. The 6.7 sounds really good. I do worry about the reputation of the CP4 pump and the 68RFE transmission
