It has a Diesel engine which rarely breaks down..
It's a diesel truck and a 3/4 ton which will last a long time.

The RAM 2500 is a very reliable vehicle.
The problems I have with my vehicle is that it takes a long time to heat up in the winter, and it is really bouncy on rough roads. However it is never given me a problem when hauling my horse trailers. The gas mileage is good and the seats are comfortable. The middle console has a lot of space for papers, for example I use it for my horse’s papers that need to be easily accessible.

Ram 2500 towing workhorse.
Ram 2500 Laramie is an excellent workhorse. Mine has the 6.4l hemi which I would suggest over the 5.7l due to power especially when towing. The Laramie trim package offers comfort, durability, and all the bells and whistles. The towing capabilities are outstanding I have several trailers from 12ft to 36 ft and it handles them all with ease.

The trouble with white beauty
So far we have only had a problem with the knob for the thermostat air conditioning and heater not working. Other than that i love the truck.
accountCircle Chris H
That even though it sits high it is only a 2 wheel truck not a 4x4.
I like the good gas mileage. But found nothing I dislike at all.
accountCircle Chris B
The highlight is the extra stiff suspension.
Tough as nails & never left me wanting. The power of the 6.4 liter hemi v8 kicking 410 horsepower and 430 foot pounds of torque paired with the dana 40 rear end and the dana 60 front end make it a real force to be reckoned with on or off the roads.

Negative Owner Reviews

Overall it is a good work truck.
The truck bed is weak, for head rack and toolbox. The bed of the truck cannot handle the weight of my head rack and toolbox it ripped a crack line down the bed of my truck. The roof leaks from the back tail light, so you have to put new seal around the light. The back tailgate latch to open the tailgate gets stuck so you have to keep trying to pull it open.

Top notch pulling power. Heavy duty truck for towing just about anything within reason.
First diesel so quite a bit of a learning curve initially. The 2500 ram rides absolutely terrible. Water in fuel sensor constantly lighting when road is wet. Too sensitive. Back glass leaked like a lot of them do. I have a current recall that I can't get fixed yet because they don't have the software yet. It's the vehicle coming out of park recall. Major safety issue. Wiring under seat can be accidentally moved and cause dash light as well. Little things that should have been made better from the get go

Could be a lemon. Dodge not receptive to paying for issues.
Features I like: large back seat, auto dimming headlights, heated steering wheel, trailer height adjustment. Things I do not like: blind spots, a lot of recalls, roof leakage that dodge denied paying for. Toolboxes only dudes are almost always breaking. Lights inside and out go out a lot.
accountCircle Heidi W
Good towing capacity big engine.
The long bed makes the truck really hard to park and maneuver in tight spaces. For a big truck it drives smoothly.
accountCircle Nicole L
Great for towing but lots of little problems.
Almost always has something wrong with it. It is in the shop now: back up camera, window motor, shock, outlet, speaker, leaked water around the light in the cab and ruined the headliner. Back seat is large and the front seats are comfortable. Tows nicely.

2014 Ram
Our2014 Ram 6.7 has been a great truck. We now have 97,500 miles on it. We tow cattle to and from the market and a fifth wheel with no problem at all. Going over the mountains with the fifth wheel is no problem. The inter graded trailer brake works great! It’s had some “recalls” but hey that’s just a free upgrade to me. The crew cab is very comfortable and has lots of room. My wife drives it to the store with no issues, and loves sitting up high. Fuel mileage is very good for a truck this size.
accountCircle Amber B on June 21, 2021
Overall satisfied with the 2014 ram 2500 cummins.
This pickup has an amazing motor and one of the only models available to buy this new stock with a manual transmission. It does have some computer glitches occasionally. I hate the def, but with emission control... It is not the smoothest ride, but I feel like the power train far outweighs this. Great fuel mileage as well. I get around 17-20, depending on how I drive.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Stacey T.

It's got the 6.4L hemi with RamBox, leather, heated seats, cooled seats, and heated steering wheel. Gets good gas mileage when on the interstate, backup camera and sensors, remote start. FM, XM radio, USB, Bluetooth, memory card capability.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Stacey T.

Black paint is hard to keep clean, could get better gas mileage in town, don't have any other cons to state, I like my truck a lot, I don't like that you cannot adjust the tire pressure sensor when you change out the rims and tires from factory.
