The all black interior and chrome trim.
No problems it's an amazing truck so far, tows very well, emissions definitely hinder the fuel mileage on the truck, but it's a truck not a car, engine is very powerful, does not make a ton of noise the upgraded transmission runs smooth, and the interior is flat amazing.

Very comfortable extended bed diesel crew cab 3500 that gets great gas mileage.
Crew cab with lots of room in both the front and back seats. Very comfortable heated seats both front and back. The back seats fold flat. Also has under seat storage. Gas mileage for the diesel is very good. The downside is the parking sensors act up on occasion.

Truck review for Dodge RAM 3500.
The truck drives nicely, I have no issues. It pulls a trailer great, and is good on long trips. I would recommend it to others. I love the back up camera and the fact that my phone can connect to play music and take phone calls and text messages. I would definitely buy again.

Love the ram 3500 hd truck.
It is an excellent truck, mechanically strong, interior is amazing, so much room; we tow a 40 ft 5th wheel and it handles it great. We have all the bells/whistles, stereo systems- great, heat/cool seats - great, mileage - avg 16. No complaints at all - love this truck!

This 2016 ram has so many amazing features that make life easier.
My ram not only comes with a back-up camera, remote start, and heated seats, but my favorite feature is the heated steering wheel. I no longer dread getting in my car on cold mornings. I love the comfort, hands free Bluetooth, and safes built into the floorboard of my truck. This truck is truly amazing!

The fuel mileage with the capacity it can haul.
I love the look and the hauling capacity of my ram 3500 and it can tow my 32 foot gooseneck horse trailer fully loaded with our 8 draft horses and all equipment with no problems. The fuel mileage with the diesel engine is about 12 miles to the gal which is much better than any other that I have heard about. The performance is amazing in my opinion.

Highly recommended family and man truck.
The truck does not tow/haul well. There is not much traction or tread. It often gets stuck in mud. It is super comfortable, with heated and cooling seats, an automatic start, and the leather interior is to die for. It is a very reliable truck and was well overdue for our family.

Have an extended cab, rear is roomy and easily fits 3 with no problem.
Very roomy, good power, brought it to pull a 25’ horse trailer, does including uphill with excellent power, could have a better turn radius, raised bed a little bit to high for me, foot rails on the side make it easier to get in and out. Mpg is 14 under a loaded tow, 19 with no load.

2016 dodge ram 3500 great vehicle to have pulls great.
My dodge ram 3500 is great vehicles to have to haul things all the way up to car trailers they are the ultimate truck. But when it has problems it costs a lot to fix tires are very expensive. I love it for the job cause can pick materials up without the hassle.

Fifth wheel RV towing with a ram truck.
The reliability of the truck has been quite good. The uconnect software has had issues and is not pleasant to use. The ride of the truck is very stiff and less comfortable than I would like. The durability has been good and handling and tow capacity is very good. This is a good choice for towing a large RV.

Good truck but they need to put more places to charge a phone in the back.
It is a great vehicle, we use it almost everyday. Ours is blue and we have a trailer hitch in it that hulls our 5th wheel. You put fuel in it and it will run. But I think it needs charging ports in the back because if your in the back you have to have get a 10ft cord so you can reach the charging port in the front of the cab.

It is big and hard to park normally.
Powerful. Tows anything. It is very comfortable. No complaints. I look forward to driving it everyday.
