2022 Ram 2500 Tradesman 4dr Crew Cab LB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)
12 of 14 people found this review helpful
Purchased this truck in February 2023. It only had 30 miles. It Regens every 100 miles, regardless of if we are pulling our 5th wheel or not. At 2,000 miles the instrument panel said Deisel Particulate Filter is full take to the dealership. Took to the shop and they had it for 3 weeks and had to replace the Deisel Particulate Filter, after which the truck did not run as smoothly as it had before. We took it two different dealerships and they ran updates on the computer, but it was never quite right. Move forward to August 2024, we now have 28,000 miles on the truck and are stuck in Cody, Wy, waiting on another Deisel Particulate Filter because ours is full, again. Keep in mind we do not let our truck idle the way most Deisel truck owners we see in the RV parks. We turn it off even when we are stuck in traffic. We arrived at this RV park on August 11th, took the truck to dealership on August 12th. The part was ordered on August 13th and we asked for them to expedite, but currently the part is scheduled to arrive from Detroit on September 3rd. That is unacceptable. We are from Texas and are stranded in Cody, Wy(nice place to be stranded) but we need to get back home. When we do get home, this truck is being traded in.

22 6.4 Hemi 18 months 18K miles

I tow a 7K loaded trailer with about an 850 tongue weight. I have right at 17K miles in 18 months with 50% towing. I did NOT want a diesel but the 1500 I had was essentially anemic towing. So, my 22 Laramie does the job along with light off roading and transfer station home projects duty. I do wish they would expand the cab like they did with the 1500 but for power and towing FOR MY NEEDS, this is perfect. AND, the gas mpg's are not that much different than the 1500 particularly towing mpg's. No issues so far. I have the Billet Silver, got it because it came on the 1500 but after having it, it is really nice and got it on the 2500 after a long string of white trucks and cars. My wife's cherokee has the Granite black something or other and looks beautiful for 15 minutes after a wash then...not so much. The silver looks good all the time pretty much. It tows the weight of my trailer like a dream. I have 3K payload and 15K max tow. I get 8.2 mpg at about 70mph towing, 15-17 on the highway. It loves the highway, hates city driving. That is improved with new KO2's over the 7.8 I got with the OEM Firestone Transforce tires towing on the same route one year apart 1500 mile trip from Helena MT to Custer SD and driving around. The 1500 was in the same ballpark at around 8mpg towing. Things I like...are stability while towing, truck is always in charge. interior (bucket seats) console is very nice. I have the 8.4 screen as I prefer it but am mixed on the new Uconnect. The old one was good enough, but love the off road screens for the 4X4 package. I have the Snow chief package with the bigger alternator and really love the auxilliary switches for the after market spots in front. I live in Deer Country they are a savior...well along with the after market front Fab Four Matrix front bumper and rough country rear... Things I don't like. It's a beast, not made to be a daily driver... Fortunately I have a Renegade for that. MPG in general for trucks. They should put the bed step on them as OEM for all of the HD's. I put one on after (Amazon/OEM knock off) and it cost me only 275 bucks and 30 minutes. I know with your economies of scale, you can do a whole lot better. Just put it on Ram... And I'm glad I bought when I did, MSRP has gone up almost 10K since on an almost identical build... But I'm starting to see big incentives again so they are going back toward what I paid in Feb 2022 but you are not getting the interest rates I got 4 sure.

2022 Ram 2500 Big Horn 4dr Mega Cab 4WD SB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful
It simply works. It’s reliable, comfortable and the Hemi takes care of all of my towing needs. The downside? Being a 2500 Mega Cab sometimes parking in tight spots can be a bear, but I knew this before the purchase. In my first year of ownership I’ve driven about 30,000 miles. One of my best vehicle purchases.

I had a 2021 1500 built to serve and 2015 Outdoorsman both with the 5.7. They were extremely nice and in particular, the 1500 is amazing from a comfort standpoint both driving and interior...but with the new trailer (6700 lbs total/800 lbs tongue weight), although adequate for towing and within specs, you were never able to fully relax in the relationship between the truck and the trailer. So, I got a 2500 6.4 Hemi and my towing issues were solved. Great power, the truck always feels planted and in control over the trailer... I am much less stressed (you know that low level always aware kind) after a day's drive... So, from a pure comfort standpoint speaking to the 2019 later models, they are quite a bit better than the 2500. The new 1500's have the bigger rear seat area (crew cab) and the dogs like that. In terms of fit and finish and interior amenities, they are equal but the ride of a 2500 is definitely a TRUCK like ride, stiffer, bouncier and the size of the 2500 crosses a line, for me, for daily driver. A 1500 rides like an upscale SUV. The 2500 rides like an extremely well put together TRUCK. Now, I don't drive mine as a daily driver and have a Jeep Renegade for that at double the mileage at least... so, the trucks is for transfer station duties and light off roading mostly under 10K a year miles. If you want comfort and a daily driver and don't tow daily or even weekly, go with a 1500 every day. If you tow at 6K or more and 800 to a thousand lbs tongue weight or virtually ANY fifth wheel go 2500. IF you tow daily or weekly at 6K up, go 2500/3500 diesel. In addition, the extra length and dimensions make parking a new experience over the 1500. A line is crossed. I'd also get the parking sensors and towing mirrors at least for that blind spot on a 1500 or 2500/3500. Blind spot monitoring would be my preferred option. Update: About a year later and 10K miles over half towing, I love the 2500. For MY needs, the Hemi was the way to go, plenty of power for what I tow. It would be nice to see the next gen 2500/3500 be improved along the lines of the 1500 fifth gen, but it is still a relatively luxurious ride. I love the feeling of being "planted" on the road with the truck always in control vs the trailer allowing for a more relaxed towing experience. Mileage towing is in the same range as the 1500 surprisingly and at a bit of a higher speed all in all. I did do after market bumpers front with a winch fab fours matrix and I highly recommend either getting the OEM retractable side steps or gulping and getting the aftermarket versions like I did. AND, one year later, my very same truck MSRP is right at 10K more expensive than mine making my so so deal a great deal a year later in comparison along with the 3.24% interest rate vs the 8 and 9% rates of 2023. But now, the prices are breaking due to high cost and interest rates in mid 2023, so U2 might be able to get a decent deal again... 19K miles. We primarily use the 2500 for towing the trailer. It is a fantastic truck, but to be honest it is NOT the greatest daily driver so I got a Gladiator for that and a bit more of the off road capability. I get compliments on the Ram because I put the Fab Four and Rough Country after market bumpers on. This truck is a beast. Driving in town is OK but parking is a bear because it is so big and it sucks gas like a fish water. The 6.4 Hemi is a great engine and I am so glad I got it vs a diesel personally. I put KO2's on it and they improved the ride a bit over the OEM Transforces that are like Flintstone tires imho. This truck is likely my last big one as it meets my needs for towing including potentially anything bigger I might get. I have 3K in payload and 15K max tow capability. I'm around half that on any given trip. The comfort towing vs the 1500 is incomparable but I sure miss the size of the 1500 cab. Ram needs to do something about that basically having the same cab for what like 8 years now? So, great truck no issues, looks good performs even better. I changed my stars on comfort up to five stars. It is really a pleasure to drive towing a trailer. This ain't your grandpa's truck. Mileage towing overall is 9ish plus or minus a bit. I am still a bit surprised that it is NOT that much different than the 1500 perhaps a bit worse but not a great deal at all towing. The 1500 definitely has a few mpg advantage not towing...as the 2500 gets 12/13 non towing mpg mixed driving. It does not like stop and go driving in town from an MPG standpoint. It's a great truck. I got a great deal in retrospect and essentially the same truck now would be 10K more, 15K more in 2023 when prices maxed out. One thing I wish I had was the tow mirrors on the new ones. They are very nice.
