The Dodge Ram truck is a great choice for someone wanting a good overall vehicle.

My Dodge pickup is a Ram 3500 super cab 4x4 with a 6 speed transmission and diesel engine. The truck has plenty of power for anything I have had to carry or tow. The fuel mileage is quite good. The ride is very comfortable and easy to drive on long trips without driver fatigue.

2006 RAM 3500 quad cab slt.

My RAM 3500 so far has not had any problems other then the ball joints go bad fairly quick, the power is very good, and it is a very dependable truck, all and all I would buy another one, the ride of the 3500 is a little rough but you have to expect that from something that can haul what these things can.

It's a beast, has tons of power and will do what you need it to do.

I don't have any problems with my truck. I love my truck. It will pull anything I need it to pull from our flatbed trailer loaded with hay or lumber to our horse trailer. It also pulls our camper and boat. As long as regular routine maintenance is done these trucks are awesome and powerful. I like the leather heated seats and the nav system that my truck is equipped with.

Diesels are expensive to own.

I love the Cummins diesel engine. The build quality of the truck, specifically the interior could be quite a bit better.

This I my third Dodge truck in 40 consecutive years and I will buy another when the time comes to replace it.

I love the truck overall. I has lots of power and is great on fuel. The ride is very good and the truck is very reliable. The only complaint I have is the clutch went out right after the warranty expired and cost $2500.00 to repair.

Performance and durability. It has stood the miles and still is a great rig. I am not impressed with the new diesels.

Getting old lots of repairs, but has really been a great rig. Fantastic for towing my 5th well. Repair costs are high on a diesel.

Miguel L

Great Tow Rig and large aftermarket support.

I currently own a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually. This truck has been extremely reliable on long trips thus far. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a tow rig. Currently it had minor bolt on performance parts to help the overall performance on the truck while towing. It has been a great investment so far with just the typical maintenance items.(Oil changes, tires, fuel filter)

Del R

It is very reliable and easy on fuel.

I do not like the recalls that it has had. The clutch went out at 25000 miles but was beyond the 36 month warranty. It cost me $2500.00.

Runs very well and very well maintained!! Very expensive for diesel!

I feel very safe in the truck. It worked out well when we pulled our RV. My dislikes are too big to park!!

Pros from Owners

Jeffrey Z.

The truck is powerful when equipped with the diesel option, There is quite the roomy feel, and is very comfortable. The most enticing aspect for me is it is still available with a standard transmission. The vehicle also has a great feel when driving.

Cons from Owners

Jeffrey Z.

The heavier truck does have extra cost associated, but in my opinion, it is well worth it. The 'fit and finish' could be a tad bit more appealing, but is not terrible. My biggest complaint would have to be the rig is hard on brakes,
