Reliable and tows great

I tow 12,000#’s-16,800#’s regularity for work and our 5th wheel. This is my 2nd ram, first was a 5500 with 11’ flat bed, fantastic rig as long as I had 7 tons or more, rode fine. Semiconductor and current one is a ‘17 3500 dually, tows great and not one issue

Most expensive to maintain of any truck I’ve had.

Brake petal to high. Can not reach petal and keep foot on floor. I do not like the back seat.very poor fuel mileage. Front end will not stay aligned.

Great Truck!

This is the best Vehicle that I have had to pull my Fifth Wheel Camper around. It is comfortable, and powerful! Everything works as it should. Also the ride is great!

Best Truck for toeing heavy 5th wheel RV’s

Hauled a 24,000# DRV Fullhouse for a year. Great power and breaking. Comfortable and Reliable. Sold because I purchased a Motor Coach and selling my DRav 5th wheel.

Don't waist your money

Fiat has ruined these Ram trucks! I have had nothing but problems with turbo which they won't warrantee because they call it part of the exhaust system. EGR cooler problems too, another non warrantee item they call exhaust. Consumers be warned! These are not the trucks Dodge used to build. Junk Junk Junk

Stay away from Ram

If you have a problem with your truck trust me ram does not have you were back, It doesn't matter that you're driving an $80000 vehicle with their name on it they don't care about service after the sale
