Looks good, has a nice design.
No major problems, do maintenance only. I really love my Dodge RAM truck and plan on driving it for many more years as I just bought a brand new set of tires.

Vacations and travel is much easier in my Dodge Ram 2500 diesel.
I have a Dodge Ram 2500 diesel and I love it. Our family loves to vacation quite a lot and we find the truck is perfect for our needs. With our truck we are able to travel in areas that would be difficult for a car.

Although it may look like It's hard to maneuver it isn't
The way it handles, the easy of driving it, the crew cab, about the only thing I don't like is the mileage, I wish it got a couple more miles to the gallon

Its loud and big. It will scare small children.
No complaints at all! It's great for our little family of three and there's plenty of space for the dogs to go with us when we go out and about running errands.

Comfort driving truck. Smooth ride and very gas efficient.
The dodge ram is such a smooth ride. Easy to operate and comfortable to drive. I am Farley short so sometimes I have had issues in the past with other vehicles. This vehicle I have no trouble seeing above the dashboard. Does not burn much oil and is in general very gas efficient.
accountCircle Andy S
Plenty of room and convince. Very pleased.
Plenty of room. The love the exterior body style but the interior falls behind ford and Chevy's. Leather seats are comfortable. Love the power rear window. I wish the nav system was not CD based. Will probably replace the radio at some time. Very roomy. I also love the mega cab. Also wish it had backup camera.

Emissions issues, extended warranty recommended.
The only issue I have with my truck is the emissions equipment failing on a regular basis. The truck is meant to tow and work. Tows 9,000-10,000 pounds with absolutely no issue. . It's comfortable, has some upgrades, fast. The extended warranty is a must.

It is a comfortable ride on long trips.
No complaints! It is a special Texas edition. If I had to change anything it would be for the exhaust to be a little quieter.
