2016 Ram 3500 Limited 4dr Mega Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)

I Bought my Ram 3500 Limited Mega-Cab, w/ a 6" lift and oversized Nito's, new back in 2016, and 5 years 92000 miles later she still stacks up against any other truck on the road in performance, reliability and especially looks. I don't know exactly what makes this years 3500 so sexy, maybe its the way it's hood leans forward ever so slightly over the grill, giving it the appearance of a cobra, head back ready to strike. But even sexier than that is this trucks interior. Between the room, wood, leather, alpine sound system and touch screen center console, this truck rivals my MB S600 in Luxury. I've driven this truck all over the country for work, putting as many as 44,000 miles on it in one year alone and never had a break down or so much as a check engine light. At almost 100000 miles this truck still has more power than it knows what to do with and swear drives better under load. This truck wants to pull things up the side of a mountain and with its exhaust brakes down the backside just as easily. I've never thought once about trading her in and at this point think don't believe I ever will. This is my dream truck!

Tough tow truck with a limousine ride

This is a hard-working diesel 4x4 tow truck with 50,000+ miles now. (Diesel was not a review menu choice.) Use it to move equipment, tractors, trailers, boats, etc on hitch (not a 5th wheel.) Replaced Ram '05 3500 5.9 diesel 4x4 with this 6.7. Had to evolve with DEF, particle filter regeneration and more restrictive fuel requirements, but was rewarded with much better performance AND fuel mileage! Expect more than 20 mpg at highway speeds after ~10K miles and closer to ~25-27 driving 50-60 mph country roads. Hyper-miling techniques help a lot with a 4-ton truck. Cabin creature comforts, fit & finish are a quantum leap. Also use it to commute for up to 700 miles in a day: great ride for a 1-ton truck with superior road presence. Ram boxes are very convenient lockable storage; there's plenty of cabin storage, too. Always serviced at dealership, so recalls were transparent to me. Have had repeat bothersome issue with "water in fuel filter" warning, but no other problems. Had the vibration/ shake at highway speed issue one day after a long period of not driving it - loaded 1,000#(+) equipment that afternoon and vibration disappeared. She apparently likes to work! At the price of new vehicles nowadays, I hope to get many more years of service out of this truck. So far, I feel confident that I can expect that.

2016 Ram 3500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab LB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)

We haul our horses around a lot for camping and shows so our standards and needs for a truck are very specific. No point raging on this truck to much as I could write a book on all the issues we have had, but wow, what a disappointment. Not everything is bad, but what is, is a big deal when your hauling live animals. Dodge really missed the mark on this truck! Very uncomfortable seating, rough ride when not hauling the trailer, several issues from the brakes, to the engine. Think we will go back to a chevy...
