Trans failure on day ONE!
Flew to another state to buy a 2024 Ram 2500. The price was fine, but on day ONE the transmission developed a vibration and then a noise and then a leak, I took it to dealer and after several days I was informed the transmission was bad. It sat longer and I was finally told that Ram gave an approval to remove and inspect. Then I was given the news that there were metal shavings in the fluid and also in the transmission bellhousing. I have been waiting for a month and all I'm told is that the new transmission and associated parts are on national back-order with no E.T.A; I am beyond words at this point !!

2024 Ram Electric Problems
NEW TRUCK! Drove it off the lot and it had 19 miles on it. When it had 6,000 miles, everything electrical went out. Power Window, Radio, Air Conditioning, etc. Brought it into the shop. Was initially told rodents ate the wiring. 8 days later when they actually checked it, they found out the wires were OK. So they started questioning me on what aftermarket stuff I installed. I did not install anything. 3 days later I got the truck back and was told they don't know what happened but they reloaded all the software and everything is working. They did not figure out what caused it. And they told me it could happen again. Well, 2,000 miles later it happened again. And again it is in the shop to get fixed. 9,000 miles total and has been in the shop 2 times because of a faulty system. Waiting to find out what is going on. I switched from Ford to Dodge because Dodge new trucks were cheaper. Now I know why

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.

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.
