RAM beats them all!!!

Let me get started by saying my 2020 Ram 3500 SRW HO pulls like a dream and handles like an HD truck should. Please note this is a Tradesman but came with all the bells and whistles, such as 360 camera, blind side, LEF lights, spray in bed liner, 5th wheel prep, etc. The list goes on. No truck is perfect and these companies need to make money too, but RAM made things right by recalling the dreaded CP4. That in itself should make RAM owners proud. Should the CP4 been used in the first place, NO, but RAM took it on the chin and is replacing mine free of charge. The chitter chatter on these sites are always negative, and yes, there are instances of lemons, happens with all brands. I don’t depend on my truck for income and feel for the guys that do when issues arise, but from a truck perspective, my RAM gives me all that I need and more. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase and the real review will be in 10-15 years, hopefully. As of today, I would recommend this truck as well as the RAM brand to anyone.

Bought the 2019 Ram 3500 with the high output Cummins engine and let me tell you, this thing is a beast! I took my 37' Montana travel trailer fully loaded to Colorado and those steep mountain climbs were a breeze! Didn't even know the trailer was back there. Fuel mileage was about 11mpg but that was in or out of the mountains. The ride and stability was unmatched! Not only the best truck I ever owned (And I have owned plenty) but so far the most reliable as well. Runs very quiet too. If you never owned one, go drive one!

We have been loyal Ram owners for years.We are so disappointed in these newer trucks. I have a 2021 Ram 3500 with 90,000 miles in the shop getting the tyranny fixed. There is 0 customer service when trying to get a rental. They have done nothing but try and get out of helping us. Dodge used to take care of thier customers but it looks like they just want to charge more for thier trucks but the customer just gets nickle and dimed to death.

I have around 56K miles on this truck and couldn't be happier. I mostly tow a ~5ton trailer so this is obviously overkill for me but I love it

2019 RAM 3500 with 6.4L Gas is perfect

After much researching and internet surfing plus test driving over 20 truck types and models, we ended up with a new 2019 RAM 3500 Crew Cab tradesman 4x4 Dually. We needed a truck that was an easy daily plus could pull our 12,000 LB fifth wheel, but also did not cost me over $48k and this fit the bill perfectly. I only purchased a few optional packages on the Tradesman Crew Cab 4x4 Dually, which included the Tradesman Level 2 Equipment Group, Chrome Appearance Group, LED Bed Lighting, Parksense Rear Park Assistance and of course Trailer Brake Control and a few other minor things but cant remember what they were. TIP: I had the Dealership install the aftermarket B&W gooseneck/fifth wheel stuff, which honestly is better then stock prep. So far the truck comes with lots of standard features what usually you would have to pay extra for, and here are some of the options I can recall that are included : Cruise Control, Tire Pressure Information on all 6 tires (Dually), UConnect, adjustable dash viewing options, configurable truck option in settings, Integrated Voice Control, Bluetooth Phone connectivity, Multiple USB connections, Rear storage under rear seats that fold up and out of the way, Power windows with one-touch down AND up too, power locks, power mirrors with blind spot mirrors plus flip out for towing, 32 Gallon tank (wow), Comes with both 4-pin and 7-pin connections for trailers, power rear sliding window, Rear window defroster, of course A/C and heater is in it (remember when A/C was optional, ha ha), Remote keyless entry, push button start (no key needed, just the FOB in pocket) and SiriusXM 1-year included plus several other things I forget. I did just get it last night, so I am still learning all of the features. BTW, I was able to get this for only $39k with extended warranty, after dealing with Dealer a lot, lol. This comes standard with a 3yr/36,000 bumper to bumper warranty (I increased warranty to 75k miles), plus a 5yr/60,000 mile Powertrain warranty on Gas engine (100k miles on diesel).
