Best diesel 1/2 ton I have ever owned. Period.

The Cummins engine and recent upgrades to the 2500 Ram are a great mix. I’ve owed a Ford F-250 and while I think the general quality of the Fords may be a bit better, the overall performance of the Ram far exceeds the Ford. On top of that, I have navigation, heated/cooled leather trim, CarPlay, and tons of other features that you end up paying for in similar Chevy or Ford trims.

To many recalls already brought it back twice once

If you you own a company where you need a dependable truck dont buy a dodge ram. If you like hanging out at the dealership buy a dodge ram

RAM brand hard to beat

RAM is pure quality all around, Cummins diesel is superior to other makes, I've been driving Dodge for 25 years and this product is very well refined

Great truck

I’ve always had a truck. Now that I have kids my previous extended cab wasn’t cutting it. Kids had trouble getting in and out and forget the whole kicking the back of daddy’s seat. This time around I settled on the ram mega cab. Day and night. If your a truck guy with little ones, this truck is a must. The kids can recline the back seat and knock out, giving you a pleasant drive. I’m truly shocked that Ford or Chevy haven’t come up with their mega cab version. The only other truck I considered was the tundra since they also have a roomy crew cab but unfortunately they don’t make it with a diesel. I bit the bullet and spent the extra 10k for the Cummings, occasionally pull a camping trailer. Hope this helped.

A tank and rides like one

Went from a 2017 Ram 1500 Sport to the 2018 Ram Power Wagon. My decision was based on reviews, options, price and looks (mainely the ugly 19' 1500 styling). The 6.4 feels stronger but the 6 speed transmission is rough. Watching the gas gauge go down as I accelerate hurts! Rides like my 2001 Ram 1500 did back in 2001. Other dislikes is the small 33" tires. Needs bigger tires and exhaust is wimpy sounding. The styling is aggressive. Have all the comfort and options my Sport had and a few extra's like navigation, vented seats and running boards. Have yet to take it off road but have no worries doing so.

To replace the most unreliable diesel

It's ok. Our other 2500 was custom built for our business. It died and even Chrysler's engineers don't know how to fix it. Lemon law!!!

Good truck

The only negative complaint I would have about my truck is the gas mileage. But that is to be expected from a heavy 2500 series truck.
