My 3rd Ram 2500
Purchased a 2024 Ram 2500 in June 2023 and received it in January. Had a 2015, same truck. New truck is trying too hard to compete which has ruined the truck. First thing you’ll notice is the ‘bump resonance’ in the frame. Every time you hit a bump, the truck shakes it off. This is really annoying. I even dropped the tire pressure to 50psi to calm it down. The older truck not so, nice and smooth. They upgraded the side view mirrors which are horrible. My older truck had infallible side view mirrors, totally confident driving. The new ones you struggle to figure out what’s happening next to your truck, try driving at night on a busy interstate. The vehicle function setup is as bad as our Audi. Too complex so as to compete with other vehicles. I miss just pressing a button for the heated steering wheel and seat. Now you have to peck thru the computer to find it. The radio is the same to the point you’ll have an accident trying to tune in a favorite station. I can’t image who the heck thinks their design is hip. For $75k what a way to ruin a good truck. After all we wanted a truck to haul and plow, not a dumbed down toy. Oh yeah, they eliminated the shifter for a knob, why?? Did it save $5?? You’ll be grabbing for the shifter constantly. Good luck Dodge.
$85,000 pile of trash
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.

Cant complain
Own a hvac biz. Started with an 04 chevy 2500, traded for a new 2014 ram 2500, cheapest one you can get with the chrome package. I beat the snot outa that thing and had to put a rear u-joint in at 70k. Traded for a 2019, again, cheapest thing i could get with chrome package. Bout to hit 50k and not a blip so far. These things haul ass, 100mph @ 2500rpm and will run that chevy over while dragging a house. Rides alil stiff, but a 2500 should. Handles like a corvette. The bodies are paper thin so easily dinged but worst complaint is having to slam the door sometimes rwice to close it. My friends gmc closes with just a light push and click. I have zero use for 100 buttons and a big screen tv on the dash so dont have the petty issues others have.
2024 Ram 2500 Tradesman
8 months in, 13k miles, great truck. No issues at all. Able to achieve 18mpg on highway road trip otherwise 13-14 in town. Tows our 37 foot bumper pull travel trailer no issues. Love the looks, doesn't have "brackets" around the headlights like other brands.🙄 I would buy this truck again, quality is excellent.

Ram does the job, and does it well!
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!
