We love this truck.

We love this truck. We pull our 28 foot trailer with it. Bought used with a trade in so we could pull a heavier load. Had it for several years and has proven to be a good truck overall.

DON'T BUY

Absolutely a crap truck! Common problem is lifters failing!!! 3700 to 11000 to fix! They should have recalled this a long time ago. Dodge knew what they did and screwed everyone! More people should complain this is crap!

Great truck if you buy new and take care of it

I own this truck for 4 years bought with 140k mi and now it has 200k I spent probably 15k in mechanic and parts I had a problem with everything in this truck from exhaust to fuse box all brake lines now just fixed the head gasket which cost an arm and leg and I’m getting misfires from the camshaft it’s just one thing after the other and never stop I guess if you buy a new one it must be amazing but get rid of it before 100k miles The window opener in the driver side keeps popping off. Fan inside makes too much noise. I own a 5.7 gasoline angine

2012 ram 2500

I have purchased a 2012 now I have 106,000 miles on it so far I replace the fuse box under the hood upper ball joints The emergency brake pads somehow burned up make sure you replace all the hardware The rush is unbelievable on the wheel wells definitely needs a redesign I keep my truck really clean the motor start ticketing at 90,000 miles we call Chitty Chitty Bang Bang I always change the oil. The transmission is very strong 5.7 motor has a lot of torque for gas I love the 8 foot bed and the mega cab the radio has to be updated I replaced it already the air conditioner is cold I put a lower thermostat I didn’t like it sitting at 220 That’s a little high for my taste I put a lower thermostat in it is definitely can pull the weight I also recommend putting a trans cooler on Especially if you going to pulled heavy weight I run e rated tires also nothing less awesome truck all except for the rust lol on the wheel wells .I love the look 👀

Hemi engine broke lifters and camshaft replacement

Great comfort, terrible engine life, replaced ignition module default out of pocket. There isn’t any factory recalls on ignition switches for multiple years due to problems with starting and shutting off while driving

The best work truck I've ever owned

This dealership has done an excellent job of maintaining this vehicle before they sold it to me. The 6.7 cummins is a powerhouse and has made my life 5x easier.

Cam failure on hemi needs to be recalled

At 96000 miles, the hemi motor suffered roller lifter/cam shaft failure. Approx $7000.00 to fix it. Many other owners have the same problem. Truck has skways been well taken care of. I have owned many vehicles, and cam shaft failure is NOT a problem! No recall, no more Chrysler products for me or my family.
