2013 RAM 3500 consumer reviews

This truck is exactly what we were looking for. Big enough for any job and comfortable enough to haul the family around!

Great looking truck. Finished very well for a North American vehicle. 5.7 hemi with 6 sod auto works well around town and on highways. 3-4 weeks a year pull 32' travel trailer grossing 11,000 lbs with 1,080 tongue weight. Steep hills can be a little long but does not justify $11,000 diesel when majority driving is in city without trailer 48 weeks of the year. I would HIGHLY recommend this truck to anyone especially Snowbirds towing only a few weeks of the year.

Excellent city and road vehicle, crusies with the best ,excellent highway mileage, Protected me through two rearenders while stopped at stop light.

You get one of two trucks: the one that cracks up with regeneration/DEF/U-Connect/media/Airbox problems between 600 -1200 miles or one that you love! They don't know how to fix the cracker jack. MIt runs great, intermittently. I have a Mega-Cab, 3500, DRW, automatic, , non-Aisin w/ 4?4 -which is the heaviest model. My MPG is 14 mpg in city (tons of stop ) and 17 19 mpg at 70 mph., 13 mpg with 4 horse bumper pull trailer in tow/haul. Probably would do better mpg if its issues weren't when it reached high temperatures such as highway and hauling. Truck at service 6x since June 2013.

I love my RAM. Its a 2013 RAM 3500 BIG HORN diesel, crew cab, long bed. Traded in my 2012 Tundra 4.6l for it and have no regrets. Its my first diesel and I plan to keep it for a long time. Truck is quiet, engine pulls like a train and gets great MPG for a full size truck. Also, its quiet for a diesel and it does not smoke. Got 21 mpg on my first trip doing about 70 mph, 90% highway. The exhaust brake is great in the hilly areas. My Tundra felt soft, this truck is on the stiffer side, especially empty but that's what I was looking for. Can't comment on reliability yet, only 6300 miles so far, no issues. It seems to consume 1 gal of DEF per 1000 miles, not towing. Looks to me like RAM is headed in to the right direction! HIGHLY recommended!

Truck is still to new to say yet. Truck is beautiful,powerful lots of computer stuff. Fuel is 18 Hwy. Towing trailers is 11.5

vehicle will be used to haul stuff for the house, carry friends and family, and act as an emergency helper for the neighborhood.

I just traded my 12 DMax for a new 13 SRW 3500 Longhorn and this truck is amazing. The interior is the best out by far and this truck pulls my trailer way better in the mountains than my old DMax along with providing better mileage. The power with the new HO and Aisin is incredible. Absolutally love this truck!

I bought this truck on a Tuesday and hooked on to my 44ft gooseneck Saturday for a 1000 mile trip to Colorado. It had 343 miles when we pulled out of the driveway. On the way up the trailer brakes started going in and out due to a short in the trailer wiring but the exaust brake kept things under control. On the home I stopped by a truck stop to weigh the rig. To my surprise it weighed in at 30,040 lbs. the truck averaged 10 mpg and that was pulling up hills that were 11000 ft. Very impressed with this truck and love to drive it. Everyone needs one.

After 7 trips to the dealer with check engine light issues, DPF regen problems, Nav system replaced twice already. The truck doesn't pull our loads as well as the 2011 Dmax we traded for this Ram. Not going to keep this truck for long.
