Have about 10,000 miles hauling a 10,000 lb travel trailer. the 6.4 engine does a great job with 8.5 to 10.5 mpg depending on terrain. Air suspension is a big plus for hauling
Total of 36,000 miles with great ride for HD and thirsty 14 mpg around town. Not svelte or sports car like but it is great at what it does.

I purchased this truck in 2017 and going on 4 years of ownership w/ 90,000 miles driven. It's been a great truck, got 20mi/gal on factory tires on a 1000 mile road trip and averages around 15 mpg now with more aggressive tires and shorter trips. The interior is well thought out and comfortable. The 6.4L Hemi has lots of power and responsive. I plan on keeping this truck for as long as I can with the Max Care warranty. Only a few recalls so far that were minor. I pull a 5th wheel and it does a great job, plenty of room in the cab for the family. Great truck, will buy another one someday.

Nice Truck. So far about 15.7 mpg on the highway. Wish it had a few more cubbies in the cab for sun glasses and log book. A little tall for my wife to get in though.

Excellent truck no problems thus far around 22,000 miles.Truck is heavy with stiff suspension I fell this may hurt truck rating in some categories but it is just being what it is suppose to be.Most puplications rate it best in class I agree.

Great truck. Seems to ride really rough down these SC roads. It takes the little bumps badly but takes the really rough stuff a lot better. Handles better than most 3/4 pickups and has more acceleration than you would expect! GREAT on gas for a GAS truck!!! The gas mileage and appearance is the best part. The quality of the interior however is terrible. You could leave a permanent cut in your dash with your fingernail! Lastly, the sheer size of the truck is just huge! Very hard to park i would compare it to a ford but wider. 3.5/5

"I have a 17 Ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins diesel. I bought the base model with a few upgrades for convenience and to the appearance. So far after 6 months i still love the truck. I tow a 33"" travel trailer quite often with not a problem in the world. For how heavy this truck is, I am happy with the mpg around town.
Interior is good and solid, no rattles. I had a 15 model ram with every option and premium leather interior ect. ect.. I now have work grade seats,(one step above basic cloth) and love these. I think these seats are more comfortable than the hard bucket seats I had in my 1500 sport.
I don't think I need to say much about the engine, is half the reason I got this. Tranny is fine for now. If you tune this truck, you will want to upgrade the transmission for this is already a torque monster.
Not excited about having DEF but, all diesels made today have it now. I drive Semi's for a living, we have A LOT of problems with DEF/DPF.
Time will tell with this truck but so far, I for one love it."

This 2500 ram does a great job for me. From hauling a tractor to taking my grandkids for ice cream. Comfortable and all the power I need

The ram 2500 power wagon is everything I was looking for in a pickup truck. The interior is comfortable and has all of the creature comforts I enjoy. The exterior is bold and stands out but isn't too flashy. The trucks engine is very strong and I feel incredibly safe driving it long distances. I'm never afraid or worried that I will be strangers somewhere. The ram 2500 power wagon is a terrific machine and I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new pickup truck.

I NEEDED TO UPGRADE FROM A 1500 TO A 2500 TO GET BETTER TOWING, I WENT WITH A UPGRADED TIRE & WHEEL PACKAGE BECAUSE OF LOOKS AND AFTER 2 WEEKS WISHED I HAD NOT BECAUSE OF THE RIDE AND TO MUCH NOISE. ALSO BECAUSE THE TIRE PACKAGE WAS A DEALERSHIP ADD ON, THE TIRE PRESSURE ON THE UPGRADED TIRES WAS LOWER THAN FACTORY TIRES, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR SHOWS LOW AIR PRESSURE CONSTANTLY. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT EXCEPT RUN TIRES OVER-INFLATED TO MATCH FACTORY SENSOR SETTINGS. THIS CAUSES RIDE TO BE MUCH HARDER ON RUFF SURFACES. WITH THIS TIRE SET-UP, GAS MILEAGE ON THIS 6.4 HEMI IS TERRIBLE. POWER IS THERE, NICE LOOKING TRUCK.

I really love our new diesel pickup. Even though it is a 3/4 ton it out-drives our 12 year old gas 1/2 ton truck in every way. It is exceptional at towing: feels safe and gets between 9 and 12 mpg towing a 12,000 fifth-wheel. In particular, it's easy to forget that we are towing the fifth-wheel due to the stability, performance and braking (including exhaust brake). While not towing, we get 17-21 MPG in mixed driving which is outstanding for a truck that weighs 7500 pounds empty.

I never planned on owning a Ram (Dodge) pick up, but have been thoroughly impressed with the features and comforts of this ride. Well done for a large heavy duty truck, my vehicle of choice.
