Bullet proof Cummins and smooth tranny coupled with great braking and precise steering are the things that brought me back to Ram. Only con is that with a sub under back seat takes away from lots of storage space. For a crew cab lack of storage in cab is disappointing but worth working around. Another negative and it can be real annoying, when pulling our 5th wheel from a stop and with aggressive throttle their is a loud reverberation through the driveline originating from what I have found out from others to be rear leaf spring issue. By feathering the throttle on start with a load the noise is pretty much null, but it's still a nuisance to know that engineering should have eliminated this defect prior to production.

A Top-Shelf Beast of a Truck

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!

This is a great truck. Handles my 42” 5th wheel without any issues at all. Long horn so very luxurious. Costly but I plan on keeping this truck until I die. It also looks great, especially when I park beside a Ford.

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...
