Ram 3500 makes an awesome farm truck and is an all around excellent ride.

I love this truck. It has plenty of power, which we use on the farm. The creature comforts are top of the line. This is easily the nicest truck I have ever ridden in, and quite possibly the best overall vehicle. The only complaint I have is the location of the engine oil filter. It is hard to get to when changing the oil, but that really is a minor complaint...

That it is what I Like. This is the truck that we use to pull our 5th Wheel. Amped.

Love the Cummins engine.I love the interior and the touch screen. I also like the Sirius Radio.

Reliable, great features, roomy, and runs really well.

I have yet to have any major issues or problems with my truck. It drives well and very smooth. I have had it for about 6 months now and it still runs great. The added features are amazing, especially being able to start it from in the house to warm up since winter is here. The interior is a nice size and can fit 3 car seats/ booster seats. Very roomy for adults as well.

Overall good. Excellent mileage for a 1 ton single axle truck.

Excellent diesel mileage 22 a little rough on dirt roads good overall package. The interior is very comfortable and has a good overall design for up to 6 people. The design or the exterior is nice over looks could not be better. I bought this vehicle new no miles. The color I picked and package, cost was well within budget.

I would recommend a ram truck.

My vehicle is very reliable. It is very comfortable and open, it has good sized windows. It is easy to drive and your able to put a lot of things in the car or the back of the truck. Its able to pull trailers on the back too. I would recommend this car to anyone who has a big family and needs a roomy car to fit people and things in.

We love our ram 3500, it is a powerful machine.

This has been a very reliable vehicle. We have had no issues, complaints, or concerns. There is more than enough power to tow our 40-foot 5th wheel with ease. When towing, it gets about 12 mpg. When not towing, we have gotten as much as 20 mpg. My elderly mother thinks the ride is too bumpy, but we have no problem with it.

Nick B

The best truck for towing!

It performs great! Use it to tow a 5th wheel toy hauler and haven't had a problem yet! The only thing I would say is the tires had to be tried and realigned. Other than that, it is a great vehicle with a lot of power! We have the basic edition. A little pricey but well worth it!

Best in class, ram 3500 Laramie!

My 2018 dodge ram 3500 Laramie four wheel drive is the most dependable, rugged, reliable, powerful truck I have ever owned. The truck is the perfect balance of tough and eye appealing design. The ram 3500 was built to haul and tow the largest payloads on the road. With the assistance of the first in class exhaust brake and in the cab air trailer brake, what's the best in class. I highly recommend this truck.

This is my third and last Ram , prior 2 was good trucks but this one is nothing but absolute junk ! ABS is messed up , radio went out and now the def is messing up and this truck only has 60k miles . Ram trucks will not do nothing about ABS issue and they d**n well know they have a problem. I will never own another Ram truck ! I ordered a new high country and the best day will be when I trade this pile of junk and I will never buy another Dodge product ever !

2018 dodge dually 3500

Would not recommend 2018 dodge dually 3500 52,000 got it when it was new and having 3500 to $4000 worth mechanical problems. Dealership claims not under warranty

Chris Boyd

Truck is fair. Company is terrible!

The truck is nice and has plenty of towing capacity. However, Chrysler does not look after their customers when there are known defective parts. There is a widespread problem with the ABS module and HMU. It's not a matter of if the problem occurs, it is when. If you are lucky enough that it happens before 36k miles, you are fine. If it happens at 42k, you shell out close to a grand with no consideration from Ram. Changing brands soon.

Unsafe

I bought the Ram Mega Cab new not used in November of 2018. In July of 2019 my rim (not the tire the rim the truck came with) blew out almost causing a car accident. We were going down hill on a curvy road doing like 40 mph. I thought this was a good truck family safe but I was wrong I am 7 months pregnant and I had two children with me ages 5 and 8. We are super disappointed in this truck and also with Dodge who we called and who wont do anything about their problem even though the truck is new and we bought warranties. I will not be buying a vehicle from Chrysler Jeep Ram Dodge ever again.

My truck does the job it was designed for and keeps going.

It is a big truck and not easy to park in spaces and is challenging to drive into tight areas. It does a great job of pulling my trailer across the country for several years now. I like the color and look and it does ok on gas mileage for a big diesel truck.

Pros from Owners

Richard R.

Very nice to drive and ride in. Leather seats and the interior is comfortable and spacious. Diesel engine provides plenty of power and the automatic transmission is sound. I would recommend that anyone looking for a new heavy duty pick up give dodge a try.

Cons from Owners

Richard R.

The fuel economy is not that great compared to other trucks in the same class. The cummins engine has tons of power but it comes at a cost. I would think that a manual transmission would help this somewhat but I had trouble finding one when I was shopping around for a new truck.
