    Best Work truck for towing

    I own a landscape business and there is nothing this truck can't pull. 9,000 lb dum trailer with skid steer to enclosed cargo trailer...truck does it all. Runs good and has huge gas tank so only have to fill up once a week. After owning this truck, I will never have a gas work truck again...no comparison.

    Great looks, nice ride, and reliable!

    The truck has served my needs for 20 years, and now it's time to buy another, Dodge Ram 2500! This one-owner Ram 2500 will get you where you need to go and keep you happy!

    Strong Truck

    This truck is very well built although the transmissions are not the greatest. The engine power will do just about anything you need it to. As long as it is well maintained, the Dodge Ram 2500 will never let you down.

    The BEST Truck I have ever owned

    Awesome Truck. The only thing I have issues with is the rear brakes and keeping the adjusted. Other than that GREAT Truck! The engine is very tough, strong and reliable. Pulls like a tank and best of all I get 23 plus mpg on the highway and around 16-18 in town.

    24 valve diesel slt with quad cab

    Excellent truck very economical compared to my 1990 2 wd F250. My 4 wd dodge cummings gets almost twice the mileage 20 mpg highway 16 mpg around town. after 180 ,000 miles truck still xxxxxxsnow well and tows well without diminishing mpg. I will never buy another gasoline powered vehicle, especially with the ethanol being mandated in the fuel. diesel is the way to go. biggest problems gasket leaks, which I stay on top of, after 180000 miles I guess it is not too uncommon a problem.

    This Truck Is a Beast In The Snow

    This truck can handle even the biggest snow with no problem! Has enough height and power with the V8 magnum to pull anything and push through 16+ inches of snow. A great work truck and this one with the Western Ultramount Plow and Tailgate spreader make a complete package. Also a clean CARFAX!
