    Purchased a used 2017 Dodge Ram Lonestar 6.

    Purchased a used 2017 Dodge Ram Lonestar 6.7(L), with a cummins engine December of 2022. My previous vehicles were all of the Dodge family from Jeeps, to trucks, to a Dodge Charger. When this truck runs and it's not cold outside, it pulls my 37' 5th wheel nicely with no problems. It handles great and rides comfortably. But since I bought it, it's had one thing after another wrong with it. Listed are some of the major things I had to deal with. 01/2023 realized the heat doesn't work when the temperature outside gets cold. Driver's side heated seat doesn't come on. 08/2023 I had to replace the transfer case. 11/2023 the ABS light came on, but then goes right back off. If I hook it up to see what code it's showing it doesn't show anything at all. But at random times on a long drive it will start beeping and blinking that something is wrong. 07/2024 replaced the DEF injector 10/2024 the heater does not work when it's cold outside. If the outside temperature drops below 50 degrees I get no heat inside the cab. I replaced the thermostat, flushed the heater core to no avail. I use a blanket to keep myself warm in the winter. 11/2024 replaced the DEF injector again 12/2024 the heater still not working so this time we reset the heater controls on the dash and flushed the heater core again. Still doesn't work when it's cold outside, but if the temperature outside is above 50 degrees the heat works just fine. 01/2025 my DEF system warning went off again.

    Very reliable

    Had the truck, a Tradesman, 3-years and not a single problem with it, besides what the previous owner did. They put leveling blocks on it and big tires that made it ride like a dump truck. Plenty of power with the 6.4l. Very reliable.

    HD Ram 2500

    I have only had it a week but so far so good. The city mileage is pretty bad but highway is about 15 or more with the 6.4 Hemi. It seems to have plenty of power but I won't really know until I tow my trailer next month. The ride is very good especially for a HD truck and it looks great.

    Love my Longhorn Megacab

    Bought this vehicle for the megacab option. Normally a Ford driver, but the megacab sold me. I love it. Having driven a RAM now, I don’t want to even consider another brand. The Longhorn Edition is just as nice as the King Ranch and High Country.

    I thought I was a Ford guy...

    I've had Ford trucks for years and I thought I was a loyal Ford customer. I tried a RAM just to see and I bought it on price/value. Lots of content, much more than a similarly priced Ford, lots of power, great interior, and reliability has been flawless.

    Electronic Brake System Problem

    I have the 2017 Ram 2500 Hemi 6.4 Mega with 38k miles. The Hydralic Control Unit for ABS just went out and the dealer won't cover it because its over warranty. Called Corporate and they also denied it. This is a safety issue more then a maintenance issue and Chrysler needs to address this issue. According to research its a common problem. There needs to be a recall on this part. Dealer is charging $900 to fix.

    Excellent

    Wish I would have purchased the 2500 with the Diesel engine. The current 2500 is working out well towing my 5 wheel travel trailer. Satisfied customer.

    Needed towing capacity. Ram 2500 fit the bill.

    Needed more towing capacity. Cummins diesel is awesome. Ram 2500 we got is comfortable, rides well, pulls well, and gets great mpg. Would purchase again in a hummingbird’s heartbeat.

    Worst truck I’ve ever owned

    I bought this truck with 60 000 Kms on it. Put 20 000 Kms on it in five months and the tranny went out of it. Went too get warranty and apparently the previous owner had a tuner on it so I no longer get warranty. Never ever will I own another dodge
