A Very Good Truck, Room For Improvement Though
Ordered my 2015 RAM 2500 Mega Cab Cummins and picked it up 02/09/2015 and in the last 6 weeks have racked up over 10K miles. I traded in a 2012 F250 Crew Cab Long Bed PowerStroke that I had put over 200K miles on. So far I am really liking my RAM although there is room for improvement. * My ford pulled a trailer better, even though both trucks have the same amount of torque at 800 ft.lbs. I can only attribute this to the difference between the faster revving PowerStroke V8 and the big inline 6 of the Cummins. If RAM made the 3.73 or 4.10 gear ratios optional in the Single Rear Wheel trucks over the 3.42 ratio, maybe it would match the ford's pulling abilities. Of course that would probably hurt the excellent fuel economy the truck gets when not towing. I have achieved as high as 21.7 MPG at over 70 MPH on the highway, and that is a calculated figure, not just going by the dash readout. * The 68RFE transmission works much smoother in the RAM than the 6R140 in the ford, much nicer to drive. * The ride is very equal between my RAM and my old ford, even though my RAM has the rear air suspension. The best thing about the air suspension is the self levelling function, have yet to put any load on it that the suspension can't level up. * The interior is so much better than the ford that it is no contest at all. And on the RAM, all the upgraded electronic toys are available in the mid level SLT/LoneStar/Big Horn with the cloth seats. This is not the case with the ford, where you have to buy the uplevel lariat with leather seats to get access to the electronic toys options. * And again, on the exterior appearance, in my opinion, the RAM wins, hands down. And there are lots more colors available on the RAM. My truck's paint color is "Prairie Pearlcoat" and it is really pretty and very unique, sort of a green with gold, and really sparkles in the sunlight. * I gave an overall rating of 4 stars, as there is room for improvement, but the truck is very good and I like it a lot.

Great experiance
I bought my 2015 Ram 2500 on 10/31/2014. I have never had such an easy buying experience. Robert D. and Shawn M. were great. I recommend them for your next car purchase.
