22 6.4 Hemi 18 months 18K miles

2022 Ram 2500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 4WD LB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful

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.

Amazing Truck

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.

STAY AWAY FROM STELLANTIS

2022 Ram 2500 Power Wagon 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)

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.

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!!

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.
