Most of my mileage is towing.

Very comfortable heated and cooled seat, good visibility, good fuel economy, and plenty of interior storage. I use my mega cab for towing my 8000 pound travel trailer. Sometimes I forget the travel trailer is behind me.

Plenty of power, awesome performance, & bold style

Nothing I've ever owned has given me more pleasure and dependability than my Ram 2500 with the 5.7 Hemi All around awesome truck that performs more like a sports car than a truck, that is until you hit a bumpy road Hauling cross country or bringing the team to the game this truck has everything you need for the job Stylish interior with the classic Ram body - timeless I can't say enough about it I'm finally parting way with my truck to upgrade to a newer model. Hoping that they haven't changed a thing - why mess with perfection

vehicle with it's own mind!

Our 2012 Ram 2500 diesel has many odd kinks. The self locking doors was the first problem. First event was 20 minutes out of dealer showroom. At fueling up, the doors locked. Two hours later we were on the road with that function removed (so we thought). We always carry a key, as doors sometimes lock for no apparent reason. The horn takes off sometimes for no reason. Driving downtown it may goes off or while parked in a mall parking lot it may go off, or parked at night it may sound off---? This quirk just began a week ago. Started the truck and no auto driving lights, no camper lights. Put it on manual lights and everything works. No fuse problem, no short in wires to camper. Drove 150 miles and parked. Then auto-on lights worked. Cannot wait for the other shoe to fall!

Nicest I've ever owned

There is plenty of interior room in this truck. It is a true crew cab. It is going to be my work truck and my family's trip truck.

2012 ram 2500 6.7 IL6

I can?t believe it has taken me this long to have a truck literally of my dreams. It pulls handles and performs better than I could have imagined. Laramie Longhorn mega cab interior, ... indescribable.

Called a ram but owned by fiat. JUNK

Bigest piece of junk I've ever owned. Warranty is not worth the paper it was written on. 4 wheel went out at 13000, ignition is unsafe, dies going down highway, multiple recalls, and All American Dealer will not repair it. Will never buy another fiat/ram again.

Excellent heavy duty truck

Meets all my needs. Drives well, powerful. I would definitely like to purchase - just looking for the right deal. Lots of money for trucks anymore.

I love this truck but have had problems with it

From day one the engine light has come on and goes off everything that has been done to it has not fixed it and now I am getting told it needs new fuel injectors but its only got 74000 miles and every thing I have paid for does not fix it the light comes back on the minute I pick it up and I am getting no wear with dealer on this matter

Ram 2500 6.7 l gas ,fuel efficient rocket

I purchased the larger gas engine to tow occasionally. Then put a Leer cap on the 8 ft bed. 70 mph and 17 mpg. Flew across Kansas. This truck rocks!
