The story behind the best truck ever.
I love it!! I originally purchased it with 19,000 miles 2 years ago. Now at 87,000, it still runs like a beast. I replaced the rims, because stock looks terrible. But other than that, everything was perfect. System sounds great, motor sounds good. 10/10 would recommend!

I love the looks and all the bells and whistles that come with it.
It rides really good. It does the job that I want it to the only bad thing is dodge has a problem with ball joints and transmission. I had my trans go out not too long after I got it. Other than those things everything else runs well and looks well. I got the truck and it has not disappointed me. It is way better than any other vehicle that I have had in the past.

2500 dodge ram.All great around truck.
Handles the snow great. My only concern is the stock headlights are not bright. Otherwise I love everything about the truck. The cab is very roomy and spacious. We have towed a horse trailer and boat with it and have had zero issues. It handles the hills great.

It has a large towing capacity and can tow a variety of trailers.
Like the ability to haul a variety of things without having to rent or lease a truck or trailer that will work with the car that you have

Best truck ever. Hands down.
I love my truck. I bought it used a couple years ago with less than sixty thousand miles. It is my first diesel truck. I love the styling both in and out. The fuel economy for the size of the truck is amazing. 20 mpg plus on long trips. I have it under warranty now but I am looking forward to do stuff to the truck when the warranty runs out. Overall, the truck is perfect. With regular oil changes and possible fuel additives it can really last a long time. I am hoping to get it to half a million miles.

Manual Transmission 4 wheel Drive Workhorse.
My truck has a Cummins Diesel engine and has plenty of power for pulling. I've pulled extremely large fully loaded 5th wheel campers through mountains with ease. I've moved heavy equipment on flatbed trailers with no problem.

2011 Laramie longhorn 2500 diesel.
Have had no major issues. I love the interior. Has cummings diesel, and pulls gooseneck or bumper pull trailers with ease. Decent fuel economy but not great - gets about 15 miles to the gallon in town and about 18 miles to the gallon on the highway. Has gone through tires rather quickly. I do have a ranch hand grille guard on it.

Everyone should know that this car is very reliable and safe to drive.
The car is really reliable and safe to drive, the engine isn't that strong and powerful but can take a family to an adventure.

The truck is very good on gas
I like that It's a big truck. I don't like the way the compartments are. It's easy to keep clean and drives good. Also good on gas

Great till the dreaded tipm.
Tipm is a big problem on this vehicle. When it goes your fuel pump does not work and you will pay $1000+ to get it up and running. Gas mileage is not great either. But it is not a bad truck I wish I had bought the diesel. Seats are comfortable. Plenty of room.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jayne M.

Pull power and package needs to have a diesel engine. Double cab is a must with our family size and need the space to shopping and hauling supplies and equipment while at work and for our camping trips as well as all the traveling we do.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jayne M.

Love this truck! I can only say that it would be very nice option if they had more colors to choose from with exterior to interior colors. Also it would be nice if they had a step for the tailgate this would help for us shorter people.
