A real truck

Mine is the 6.4 gasoline version. I only have three complaints: 1.) The price on a truck is just too much! When a vehicle costs more than a house...this should be considered a problem. Sure...I want to be rich too but for crying out loud.... 2.) This thing likes fuel. A LOT of it too. I hate feeding it. BUT....I didn?t buy a 2500 expecting good fuel economy so this is just me whining. 3.) Uconnect has been something I have bragged about for years. Dodge switched the supplier around 2017. They need to fire this supplier and go back to the old one. Period. You guys successfully took something I loved about Mopar and turned it into something that caused me to have to bring it up in this review. FIRE THEM AND FIX THIS PROBLEM!!! Otherwise, there is nothing I don?t like about this beast of a machine. Drives, runs, and looks like a truck should. I shopped all brands prior to purchase and Ram won.

Best Truck So far

The power wagon is a man?s truck for sure off road and on road. Can go almost anywhere the built in winch can get you out of most problems off roading. I always had dodge 1500?s but this thing is the best bar none. The 6.5 Hemi is a power house locking front and back axles and sway bar. It is a BIG TRUCK no lift kit required.

Cummins failure

I bought a 2018 Ram mega cab with the Cummins. Loved the truck, this was my second one(first was totaled by a drunk driver). I had no issues whatsoever up until the engine started knocking? Took the truck in to the dealership, 3 weeks later, they tell be bottom end engine spun a bearing? This truck never saw a hard days work in its life! The dealership told me Chrysler wanted it rebuilt not replaced? Truck had just turned 10k. As the story goes still waiting on truck, went across the street and bought another Duramax. I liked your product Ram, up until the crappy service and shady way the warranty was handled!

I?ve owned other Ram Trucks but 2018 is Great!

This is one of the best Ram Truck I?ve owned, very comfortable, great for towing almost anything. Nice interior, just an excellent truck overall, I would recommend this truck.

I've never loved any truck this much

I upgraded from a 2016 Ram 1500. I purchased my Power Wagon after watching every YouTube video and review I could find. The style is amazing. It's a big good looking off road beast that puts a big ole smile on your face. I like the fact it has real shift and 4x4 levers. The 1500 has the cheap shift knobs. Lockers front and rear are fantastic. Electric front sway bar disconnect. Warn 12,000 winch. Old school Power Wagon looks with the graphics. More than 26 inches of articulation. I purchased the lifetime Maxcare service plan for about 3k for piece of mind. I've had it for a year with no issues other than a couple of dealer recalls that were handled during services at no additional cost.

Excellent vehicle

Excellent vehicle, great comfort, towing and torque - smoothest ride ever. Great looks also. Fuel efficiency is very reasonable. Very easy to drive as well

I had a 2013 RAM 1500, wanted a 2500.

The style did not change at all, I could not justify spending $35000 and not see any change in the appearance of the vehicle. Sorry, so I bought a Silverado. I loved the 1500 RAM styling but not the 2500.

Love it so far

Meeting my needs so far. More space than my last truck and much more power. I use it for towing and still needed space for my growing family.

Solid work truck

This truck is a replacement for my 2004 Ram 2500. So far I'm happy with it. I will say, I hate the new seat design, but that's true of pretty much all newer vehicles.
