I got the long horn 2500 with the diesel engine package and here are the issues. 1. The buckles on the back of the front seat pockets fell off. 2. There is an on going audio thumping due to the ANC system (active noise cancelation) 3. The tint on the front driver and passenger windows came with bubbles in it. 4. Silver wheel well screw that is not painted like the rest on both passenger and driver side. 5. Uconnect system has tons of bugs. You will have to reset it frequently holding down the volume and the tune button for 20 seconds for a forced reboot.

Owned car 2 weeks and only gotten to drive 1.5 day

Currently only driven my brand new 2500 Tradesman Diesel for a day and a half, when it would not go into reverse then check engine light came on. Once I was finally able to find a dealer that wouldn't make me wait a week to bring it in, I found out it wasnt just the solenoid pack that was bad. Metal shards all through the transmission. Been waiting a week to get Ram to authorize a new transmission and then at least another week to actually get it shipped. Will be close to an entire month before I get to drive it again. Really concerned with what else I am going to have to deal with now.

I have a 2022 Ram 2500. Truck has spent almost 5 months out of the last 11 months at the dealership. Truck now has 18,000 miles on it and has been back 7 times for the same issue. Low Boost keeps setting off the check engine light and dealership even says it should be bought back. Ram refuses to answer or return calls. Also was denied on buy back. So i guess i just make payments and it sits at the dealership. I hope this helps others make their decision. Im stuck with a $70,000 boat anchor that won't run. In no way is this a reflection of the dealership they've been great. This is directed straight at Ram.

I custom order the truck in mid-February, 2022 and it didn't arrived at the dealership until late July. On the day I picked up the new truck, odometer already had 42mi on it. After completed all the paperwork and ready to leave the dealership, I discovered truck's front parking sensors didn't work. 10 days and 300mi of driving later, I noticed there were oil spots all over my driveway. Looked underneath the truck and could visually see oil dripping from different area under the truck but couldn't see where the leak(s) came from. Took the truck back on 8/2/22 and was told that there were 3 different leaks, transmission, DEF line and shocks. It's been two weeks since dropping off the truck and it is still sitting in the Service dept waiting for parts and repairs to be done. Completely frustrated and dissatisfied with the quality control and workmanship aspects with this truck manufacturer. I'm hoping they can find a way to provide some kind of remedy for the troubles that I'm going through.

2 Years 4 months later. All is well. not a single problem. I would buy this again. Love this truck. 1 year and 10 months later, we have 31 thousand miles on it. Runs and drives like a Top. No problems what so ever. I changed the oil myself regularly using Pennzoil 0W 40 KN oil Filter. Rotate the tires at the dealer or local tire shop whichever one suits me when they need arrives. I have absolutely zero regrets and would buy this all over again it’s a wonderful truck. Great Truck, everything works as expected. No issues. Uconnect 5 auto updates automatically its neat to see. I cant say enough about it. I have the Laramie and its interior is amazing. It’s Truely the luxury of trucks. We chose the Hemi and instead of the Cummins, It sounds great and has a nice rumble to it. We also chose the 4.10 gears instead of the 3.73 for better towing and pep. But you suffer like with any gear up grad a little in gas milage about 2 mpg. It drives nice, my wife was surprised as to how it takes the curves of our county roads. Make sure you get running boards lol I'm 5'10" With the 20" rims and the 285 tires you need them. The vision or the road is great sitting up high. We love it.

STAY AWAY FROM STELLANTIS

Purchased in Apr 22 and from day one trash. Get 5 miles down the road and seatbelt buzzer won't go off, dome lights stayed on, cargo camera didn't work, and airbag light came on. Took it back and a week later got it back. A few months later there was grinding coming from the drivetrain and the wipers would just stop working along with the infotainment system. Ram dealers are incompetent and Stellantis representatives laughed when I told them about the wipers (all recorded and documented). Dealer couldn't recreate the issue and refused to attempt to diagnose without a code. In Jan 23 the wipers quit as well as the infotainment system, in the middle of a rainstorm on the interstate, I flew off the road so I wouldn't take anyone else out, and Stellantis yet again did nothing. They refused to accept the fact it's a lemon, I've taken it to 6 different dealerships, and nothing was ever fixed. I have since hired an attorney and seeking damages. The truck itself is trash, but more importantly Stellantis is trash and zero issue putting you or your family's life in danger. Also, looking for more people with similar issues for a possible class action suit. Someone needs to be held accountable.

Bought my 2022 new and it broke down at 150 miles (documented). The salesman that sold it to me said to go to the nearest dealer, which told me to bring it for them to look at in 2 weeks. The truck stayed parked at the dealership for 4 of the first 6 months of ownership. Dodge replaced the radio 3 times and the brake controller twice and only to no avail, the truck has many trailer brake wiring, transmission shifting, radio, psi, and run away while on cruise, electrical issues. And has now started making lifter noises in the engine. We tried forcing a buy back but because we had 15,000 miles on it they were going to deduct like 11K off the buy back, however they did state that if we chose to keep the problem truck that they would give us 4K and we sign a Non-Disclosure...I will not agree to a muzzle law and obviously,... if after a year they can’t repair it, what makes them think that 4K is going to get it fixed. All I can do is shake my head at dodge, shame on them! The truly do not care about their customers or the defective products they sell! Quinn

I needed a work truck, plain and simple. But also something I could use as a daily driver with some comfort and room for a family of four. The 2021 Ram 2500 Tradesman really checked all of my boxes. The ability to add a few creature comforts in the cab of an entry-level trim was a great addition. Besides the standard cruise control and power locks and windows, I was able to up the entertainment center screen, which included added Android Auto! Also upgraded was cloth seats, rubber mats, heated mirrors and rear window, and a sliding rear window. Outside, the truck I purchase also had a nice chrome upgrade that made the steel wheels look a little nicer. Overall, it felt like a luxury truck compared to the F250 XL I drove, and was about $4k less expensive. Don't think I'm a Ram Loyalist, as this is my first one. I've owned all the major brands (and even a Honda Ridgeline) but in 2021, Ram easily had the truck that best met my needs with the right price.

RAM has a transmission problem in their diesel trucks! Our 2022 RAM diesel truck has been at the dealership since November waiting for its 3rd transmission (11,000 miles on engine). They can’t even tell us what or when they are going to do anything!?!?!? This is our first RAM truck and we are beyond disgusted. We qualify under the lemon law in our state at this point, but is ashame that this is what it’s come down to. Don’t buy a RAM diesel right now, big problems with transmissions!

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.

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.

Tows great less comfortable than a 1500

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.

Continue issues with the 12" entertainment system that controls several features in the truck. Since the second week of ownership the system has shut down. Dealer keeps telling me they can't replicate the issue. Chrysler is aware of the issue with the 2022 Ram 2500 and Durango's. But all they can do is complete an update. Now I'm receiving injector engine light.

I originally purchased my 2021 Ram 2500 6.7 brand new from the dealership. It was great amazing power and towing capability is unmatched. At 24,000 miles the transmission broke. Dealer replaced at no cost due to warranty, but I was out of a vehicle for about 4 weeks waiting for Ram to fix this warranty issue. Several thousand miles after, the transmission began to shift terribly rough. Took forever for it to shift up and the downshifts were really rough. At about 60,000 miles the engine developed a ticking sound. At 75,000 miles the EGR went out. At 83,000 miles the cooler lines to the transmission popped loose all on their own. The dealer attempted to blame the cooler lines on a mechanic that worked on the exhaust, though they couldn’t tell me exactly how they were damaged in any way. I spoke with several diesel transmission shops, and they all said that this is a common defect in Rams. Cooler lines are quick connect fittings, and, with vibrations from the engine, break over time and simply pop out. Since these troubles, I have researched 5th generation rams and found they are fraught with numerous different mechanical issues.

I purchased a RAM 2500 Limited. First of all it has the RAM Air suspension and rides very rough, it bounces on every street line. Second the seats are hard as a rock. Third, the back up sensors pick up the receiver hitch and so the truck will not back up with the hitch in.... guess RAM does not want you pulling a trailer. Forth, you can not put a tool box in the truck unless you want a 12" tool box, the finder wells are to close to the cab. I hate this truck

I got the diesel truck itch in the fall of 2020 and my 2015 Platinum F150 was getting a little long in the tooth for my liking so I decided a Ram 2500 would fit the bill. I began my search and found the exact truck I wanted but it was 675 miles away. In December of 2020 trucks were still relatively affordable, at least much more than nowadays! I flew one-way to Dallas to pick up my truck and was blown away when I saw it in person! This Laramie Longhorn Mega cab was drop dead gorgeous, probably the nicest truck I'd ever laid eyes on and I've had plenty of high end trucks. I drove this beauty for a year and a half, trouble free but then just shy of 30K on the odometer, I started getting all kinds of electronic codes and malfunctions. I took it in and on the way to the dealership it went into limp mode. The dealer told me it was throwing about 16 codes so they would need to keep it for a few days. Turns out it needed a new transmission in addition to several electronic fixes. I was stunned because I never towed anything other than a 10' landscape trailer twice! The dealer gave me a loaner and 45 days later my truck had a new transmission! I traded it immediately! In the end, this beautiful truck with a bullet proof Cummins diesel engine had the cursed Dodge transmission that has plagued so many others! For the life of me, I can't understand why they can't make a transmission last longer than 30k miles! This is a well know issue with Ram 2500 trucks and it never gets fixed! Ram trucks are arguably the finest looking and nicest riding 2500 out there but their reliability will always be questionable! Never again unless they sign a deal with Allison!

Special ordered the vehicle. Received it in December. -20 below 0 and the dealer left it outside. Dead batteries and wouldn’t start. Currently 8 recalls of which none have been fixed. Two recalls are due to engine fires. Owners have been told to park vehicles outside and away from other vehicles due to fire hazard. I have been waiting over a year for repairs. Dealer says no parts available. Only 3,000 miles on vehicle over two years. I’m afraid to drive it! Numerous check engine lights and all kinds of electrical problems. Dealer service is non existent! DO NOT BUY RAM EVER!!! UPDATE: I bought this truck new, and still face recall problems. The recalls have ranged from engine fires, transmission, fires, and numerous electrical and sensor problems. The truck was shipped without sensors in the exhaust, and there are still no sensors available so that we call is incomplete. Just received another recall today, and there is no fix for it. Dealers response is totally inadequate, they don’t know when they will get parts blaming Antis for the problem. The truck is nearing three years old and has 4000 miles on it because of do not drive recommendations from the factory. I have Ram for 25 years. Never again. Total piece of junk, and the dealership does not stand behind them.

Got my 2500 Laramie less than a year ago. Really love the quality of it and the looks. When I purchased it, it had the best interior out of Ford and Chevy, which was important to me. Bummed out that during the production year I got it, due to the chip shortage they downgraded some packages, although mine has the tow group, it did not come with blind spot monitoring. Which is pretty standard on most trucks now a days. Gas mileage is really low, I knew that going in but I didn’t think it would be so low.. at around 12mpg in city/highway. I do have the 4:10 gears so a factor in this mpg. I love the truck either way, so far so good!

So far this vehicle has met my expectations. I am satisfied with my new 21,2500 Tradesman it handles good plenty of power 6.4 Hemi. 8spd Trans, going to be used as a every day to and from vehicle, it will be used to pull a 26ft camper toy hauler and a flatbed trailer grossed for 14,000 on occasion short trips. Bought at Brandl Motors in Little Falls, MN overall great experience!!

2021 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel, great truck but has two recalls that may cause fire. Per the local dodge dealership {Carson City Nv.} they only get one part per week....What??? When you are over number 100 on a waiting list for parts it seems rather stupid to buy a Ram.....

I purchased a 2021 Ram 2500 4x4 diesel. It runs great, has plenty of power for towing. It has had 2 recalls already, which to be honest is a pain in the ... Going to the dealership isn't my idea of fun. There are several issues I have with it. The mirrors create a lot of wind noise. The infotainment center is antiquated. I understand you can pay thousands more for upgrades but honestly the truck is so expensive it should be better. The wheels/hubcaps look cheap. Headlights are outdated. The plastic gas cap and Def cap couldn't get much cheaper. The positioning of the USB plugs is not ideal, they are down by the gas pedal.🤔 The truck makes a good farm truck but is lacking in a lot of modern technology that would make it a great truck.

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!

How do you make such a huge truck so uncomfortable for tall drivers? There is absolutely no headroom in this truck. The seats don’t adjust down and there is a huge sloping bump right where a drivers head is supposed to be. In all honesty the engineers of this truck should be embarrassed. I fit better in a Mini Cooper than this truck…. Sad

This Ram replaced a years old Toyota Tundra. Have had Ram for 2 weeks and so far so good. It is way bigger than the half ton Tundra and rides rougher. Ram is a mid-trim as was Tundra (SR5), but Ram has lots more bells & whistles. Haven't towed yet but tow mirrors are good (Tundra needed after market) and Ram 5th wheel prep is very convenient for a goose neck hitch. Trailer tire pressure readout is a real safety device. Didn't need Mega Cab but was all that was available - rather had Crew Cab and 8' bed. Power (6.4 gas) is OK (lighter Tundra was quicker despite smaller motor). Miles driven didn't justify diesel. Ergonomics and comfort are very good. Truck has Off-Road package and I guess that's why it's so tall but it's a nuisance getting in and out, even with side steps

I have owned several brand new Ford and Dodge trucks and just bought another one. This trucks sits very high and a few people have had issues getting in. It drives, handles and brakes well for a big truck. I have been getting 13.5mpg city and highway. Has a 6.5' bed, wish I had waited for an 8' bed but dealer lots don't have lots to choose from these days.. It tows very well.as I had a camper that checked in at about 4,000 . With 410hp you would think it would be quicker but it is OK. With the price of the truck tax and an extended ten year bumper to bumper added on it came to about $56 grand. After 2,000 miles I am happy with the truck so far. .. Now I have 14,000 miles on the truck. It has a few scratches from the hurricane and has had 2 recalls taken care of by the dealer. Stock tires suck even in wet grass even in 4 x 4. Truck is great and I would recommend it. Now the truck has 33k miles on it. I still love it. has aftermarket wheels and tires on it now. I also went with very aggressive aftermarket bumpers front and rear. I am looking for a large winch to add to the front bumper. I also have plans to put on the 3/4 inch factory power wagon fender flairs. I feel very safe driving it. i would buy the truck again.

I like my Ram Truck, this is the 3rd 2500 Crew W/ the Cummins diesel. This one seems to have a little less power, lower fuel mileage, by about 3 mpg, than my previous 2500 and uses twice as much DEF. Had a recall within a few weeks of purchase. The worst part of this purchase was the dealer. This review does not have the option to select the 6.7 I-6 Cummins Diesel which is the engine my truck is equipped with.
