This truck is great for work and the camera is great.
The ram 2500 is reliable and has had no mechanical issues. The mpg is only around 14 per mile. I use it as a work truck and it hauls my trailer for work as well as my horse trailer. It hauls both of them easily on the highway, slightly gutless uphill but not bad. The rear camera is awesome it makes hooking up to a trailer very easy.

Rough ride lots of recalls, many problems
With only 56000 kms on the truck, this vehicle has spent a lot more time at the dealer than i would like. Transmission issues, oil leaks, traction control issues, alternator replacement, DEF issues x3, plus front end recalls etc.... I'm beginning to think the Cummins engine is the only good part of this truck. Why couldn't they build a better truck!? Its going to be a Ford next time... If this thing causes me any more grief I'll cut it in half, make a trailer and put the Cummins in the box to use as a generator!

Why you should buy a 2017 ram 2500.
The 2017 ram 2500 is an amazing vehicle for someone who needs a bigger truck. It has all the power you need to pull a heavy load and is still quite comfortable as well. The crew cab is very spacious and looks great. I have got 110,000 miles on mine and no major problems yet so it is very reliable as well I drive mine all over the country for work and it has never let me down or left me stranded. So anyone thinking about buying one, just do it!

Fantastic truck, great family pickup.
Exhaust leak, on the manifold, bolts break, was fixed but it is a common issue. It is a great truck, no other problems, miss our 1500 gas mileage as it got much better fuel mileage. Would buy another one, as it is our third dodge pickup. Great choice.

Dodge ram 2500 great for work, great for family.
Huge improvement of the transmission. Seating is great, and kids (which I have two in single digits) enjoy the ride and are never bored. The towing ability is amazing as well. Have had little issue since I purchased this new off the lot a few years ago.

Comfort of your truck from pulling to comfort.
It is not a bad truck, it gets the job done, but it is just not as comfortable as a GMC made truck, if you are going for a comfortable truck that is the way to go, but with dodge ram you getting more pulling power while giving up comfort. It really just depends on the lifestyle you are typically in.

Overall and amazing vehicle
The space and storage is awesome. The legroom for me is so much you can sit comfortable. The truck bed is nice and sturdy. You can really sit 5 people comfortable. Car seats fit perfectly in the truck. Height for truck is good. Camera gives you a clear and precise picture good for towing and parking in reverse.

Beautiful cummins has never been stuck no matter the mud or snow I plow through.
I love this truck, the interior is roomy and comfortable which is essential for a big guy like myself. I have the 6.7l cummins do power for days. If I had to complain about anything it would be the short bed which is the only option with the mega cab it is just too small.

Best truck with lots of power and room.
My ram 2500 we bought to pull our travel trailer. It does a awesome job you do not even feel like you're pulling anything. And I am very impressed with the ride, it is smooth and comfortable. We also have so much room. The backseat has great legroom which is very helpful for my tall children and their long legs. Will purchase another when this one is ready to retire.

Great truck for the price and handles all the needs for towing.
Truck drives great and has lots of power. I pull a 42 foot 5th wheel and it handles great and not bad on gas for the size of trailer. Inside of truck is also solid and feels like a truck. The 4x4 also handled great on the beach with no issues. I do not see any issues with truck.

It offers the flexibility of using on a commercial basis and a personal one. I can use it for hauling or camping or whatever.
I like the space for cargo, the flexibility it offers, the engine performance, the road clearance and view of the road, low maintenance, other features. I probably dislike the fact that I had to add features after the purchase and the poor radio and electronics, the seat comfort.

The ram 2500 Laramie with the diesel power and 4 wheel drive is a workhorse.
The truck performs to my expectations under a variety of trying conditions. The truck is comfortable and has the power to pull heavily loaded trailers. On the highway without loads it is a pleasure to drive. In the Montana winters it is a reliable and safe vehicle in heavy snow.
Jeff O
on December 28, 2020
Ram 2500 cummins edition is an experience to drive all in itself.
Suspension is probably the worst thing about the truck because going over bumps is never smooth. Aside from that it tows great, has many features, a lot of storage, and not great but good on gas. More specific backup camera comes in handy. Heating and cooling driver and passenger seats is nice. Side mirrors tilt upright to allow for a better view when towing a large trailer so no need to purchase extended mirrors.

Heavy duty and great in the snow and for towing.
Great looking. Reliable and durable. Downfall is the amount of gas it takes. Occasional electrical problems encountered too.

It is a 4x4 pickup truck with a back seat that is very roomy.
I am only 5 foot tall and have some difficulty getting into the truck as it is a 4x4. The truck itself is good running and tows well behind our rd. Because it is white it does not get as hot inside as a dark color exterior vehicle.

Towing
Love my Cummins crew cab. No problems in three years, it just goes. No slowing down, even on the biggest mountain passes pulling my big fifth wheel and exhaust brake works well going downhill. 12mpg towing, 20+ mpg hwy without trailer. The heated / cooled seats are a nice plus. I’d buy it again, no question.

Great Tow Capacity and Comfortable Interior
Purchases the vehicle approximately 2 1/2 years ago. Since that time I have had two recalls on the truck. One has been fixed and waiting on the other. Otherwise I am very happy with the look and ride of the truck. Does a good job when towing my heavy boat and tractor as well.
Austin B
on October 13, 2020
It has great acceleration, driving ability, and is a great comfortable ride.
It has been great in every single category except for tires. The truck is heavy and when you drive around the mountains a lot (which I do) it wears them out easy. I would recommend this truck over and over again. I would buy another one in a second if I had to do it over.
Teresa C

The 2017 ram is amazing .
This vehicle is a wonderful truck it is the second time we've owned a pickup and we love it. It is very helpful in carrying our groceries in the bed. Also carrying our grandchildren in the back seat. Our children even borrow it when they need a truck to do chores.
Joni H

Great truck for all purposes!
I love this truck. It is comfortable and safe with many key features for both. Seats are large and comfortable. Truck is roomy and had space for everything including taking multiple people or pets. It has great safety features like back up camera and since you sit so high you can see everything.
Jon M
on September 4, 2020
Very durable and more than adequate to haul heavy loads or pull large trailers.
Purchased with the cummins 6.7 diesel engine. Fuel economy is the biggest concern as it is not very good. The trim level is acceptable as I have a driver's power seat and with a mega cab have plenty of room for the family. Best use for the truck is hauling and pulling the RV. No problems at all in this area.
Mike S
on August 25, 2020
2500 diesel great truck and value.
Nothing to add regarding any known issues. Would get another diesel again. Pulls camper with ease. Good gas mileage for a 2500, gets 16 to 20. 10 to 12 mpg when towing. Very reliable and comfortable ride. I'll buy another ram when it's time, but 3500 next time.

A great purchase for our family!
The truck style is solid and our family of 4 feels extra safe in it because of the size. We have 2 car seats in the back and both kiddos have plenty of room. It rides very smooth. My husband also uses this truck for his plowing business since it is such a tough piece of equipment.

Large display screen for backup camera
Rides smoothly for a 2500. Haven't had any issues with it mechanically. There are a few recalls out that will need to be addressed one. Favorite feature is the large screen for the back up camera.

The most off-road capable truck that one can buy straight from the factory.
Everything with my power wagon as far as the mechanics go, is great. I have never had any issues with it. Electronically on the other hand is where my issues start. The locking mechanism on the truck. With my key fob I will lock the truck, the horn will sound confirming that the truck was locked. However, there have been times where 1 door did not lock and if that door is opened the alarm will sound. Bluetooth connection is another huge issue that I run into. Connecting my cell phone to the Bluetooth of the truck. The connection will constantly fail. When listening to music through the Bluetooth, the system will often freeze to where I have no control over it. I cannot change the song, or the volume. I have plenty of electronic issues with the truck. It is what will cause me to get a new truck sooner than I would have ever thought.
Robin C
on June 28, 2020
This is a great truck for hauling a travel trailer or any other type of trailer...it pulls it with ease.
I love this truck....it is not too bad on gas mileage for Its size, you can haul just about anything and it sits up pretty high, that you can see everything that is going on around you...I don't like the fact that you cannot turn the radio off.
Lyndsi C

I think the most important thing is my truck can complete the tasks that I do on a day to day bases
I love my truck because I can complete my day to day tasks on the farm without having to make multiple trips. The upgraded packages make traveling with it awesome because the temperature can be changed on each side of the truck so one person isn't freezing while the other one is burnin up. I also love the heated seats and steering wheel in the winter months.

Practical, smooth and comfortable.
No problems. The truck is very practical and comfortable. We can fit anything we want and need and more. Driving is very easy. It is pretty big and parking in small parking lots is complicated but not impossible. I like the layout out. I am probably only missing the back cover. When it rains we need to bring everything inside.

If you want a real “Do all” truck,Power Wagon is it!
The 2017 Power Wagon is amazing.We are contractors and put our trucks thru the paces.I convinced my business partner to try the Power Wagon and we will never buy any other truck again.We haul car trailers with skids of concrete to scrap metal,excavators and everything under the sun.This truck is Dodge’s kiss to the hard working tradesman by day to the wild countryboy party animals at night and weekends.Its the perfect blend of git’r done to its ripp’n time.There is nothing this truck can’t do for the boys.You can haul almost anything behind it,rock any jobsite or field party with its killer stereo system to pulling your friends out of a swampy situation or a snow buried vehicle 50’ off the road in a ditch.We live in Canada and we get it all weather wise.And the Power Wagon is Dodges hats off to the Canadian boys trophey truck.Its sleek and stylish and turns heads everywhere with its metallic black paint and grey decals and blacked out windows,to its aggressive stance at the truck pukls at the county fair,(387’ ot of 400’ I will add) to the jobsite with a mini excavator and skid of concrete bags on the back.My business partner WAS a die hard GMC fan until now.He has came over to the dark side of Dodge and will never go back to GM again.If my review is 1 to 5 stars for The Power Wagon,we give it a 10! Dodge,you nailed it.Ford and Gmc,best revamp your trucks and take some notes here.Because if ya wanna play with big boys,your trucks better go back to the gym and eat there Wheaties as well.Would I recommend the Power Wagon? ABSOLUTELY! Is there any other trucks out there? I haven’t seen one! Keep rocking it Power Wagon! And my the rest,well,rust in piece!

There is nothing wrong with the vehicle and it does have a lot of good features. It drives very well. It is a nice color. It is very well maintained.

Great looking truck that tows nicely.
Truck has performed great so far. We have towed a 9000 lb trailer almost 6000 miles and have not had any issues. Gas mileage is about 12 while towing and 20 when not towing. Plenty of room for me, my wife, and 3 kids. Infant seat, car seat and booster seat in the rear seats fit nicely.

Trustworthy and dependable truck.

Great truck for real truck guys.
Cummins reliability is second to none. The truck is built to be a truck not a city boy vehicle like ford and Chevy. It is a nice truck for being the lowest trim model and I actually like the vinyl seats and floors. The sound system leaves much to be desired but that can be upgraded rather inexpensively.
Bob A

Best truck for hauling trailers.
My ram 2500 is big and powerful, it has plenty of room for any sized person. I have had no mechanical problems at all. My rams seats are comfortable enough for any length of road trip. One of the best features is the dual cameras for either a bumper pull or gooseneck trailer.
Dave Johnson

Drivers side window breaks every winter!
Constant problems with the drivers side window. I bought the truck new in 2017 and the window has come off the track every winter. This appears to be a known issue that has not been properly addressed by Ram. I would not recommend purchasing this model.

This is my absolute dream truck!
It is my dream truck. I have had absolutely no problems with it at all. The only thing that kind of sucks is the whole def system but all new diesel trucks have it, so I guess it is not that bad. I really do love this truck! I have the mega cab with the short bed and I love how much room there is in the back seat.

Ram 2500 best truck out there.
Ram 2500 cummins diesel is the best out there on the market. Lots of power with a luxurious interior. Pulling a trailer up a hill at 65-70 mph is no problem and being able to slow down with the exhaust break just helps that much more. Love having the ability to turn on the seat coolers when it gets hot and the heater when it's cold.
Chris R
on December 20, 2019
I love my ram 2500 with cummins 6.7.
I have never experienced a problem with my diesel. Ram is good about sending correspondence about any recalls although none have been applicable to my model. The seats are very comfortable and I have plenty of space on the inside to be comfortable on long trips. I get at least 22 mpg on the interstate and 16 mpg in town. It has all the features I was looking for at a very low price in comparison with the other manufacturers. To get the tow rating of my truck, I was told I would have to step up to a one ton truck with the other manufacturers based on the tow rating.

So good car for me and for family.

Great for the trim package, but backup camera could be improved upon.
The truck is great for its trim package. The front seats could be more comfortable, but it is fairly comfortable, even for long trips. The biggest issue I've had with this vehicle is the rear view camera. It has been replaced once due to extreme distortion and unreliability. Lately I have been having issues with it again. The picture is sometimes grainy or distorted when backing up. I am happy with the performance and gas mileage. It's a 2500 and gasoline, so I am happy with the 15 mpg that I usually get.
Nancy S

Great work truck. Excellent fuel mileage, as long as you are not towing.
Great towing capacity, not so great fuel mileage when towing, but for a full sized truck not bad. Has a great stereo system. Satellite radio is good. Bluetooth capable is great. Do not have to use a headset. Cargo light in the bed of truck is awesome. Do not need a flashlight in the dark.

Dodge ram 2500 slt for all purpose use.
This truck has never let me down. I use it as an everyday driver, to pull trailers and RV's, and to have some fun off roading. Through it all it has been 100% reliable. I would highly recommend any ram truck to people who are looking for the same or a similar experience.

2017 ram 2500 power wagon. Not exactly like the original.
Really worried about the reliability of this vehicles transmission. All over the internet is problems with the transmission of the ram truck. It's a great vehicle for long road trips although it was engineered for off road duty. The lack of a CD player is incomprehensible. Use a thumb drive for music. Performance of the 6.4 liter hemi is exactly what was expected. Why no manual transmission is offered is frustrating. It's comfortable and solid.
Haley R

The heated steering wheel is wonderful, of course the heated and cooled seats.
No problems with our vehicle. Length of time remote start is on is rather short for oklahoma weather, not super smooth riding with the laramie and larger tires. Would be better to have a long bed, or smaller tires. . Vehicle has good fuel mileage and def is easy to fill. Technology is great, and heated steering wheel is wonderful.

Over a good truck. I do recommend to anyone who’s buying.
It is pretty good, I usually never have problems with it. The seats are comfortable, I am able to get here and to places without any trouble. Overall a pretty good truck.

I like how the truck switches to 4 cylinders during low load.
Love the power. Not good fuel economy. Ride is like any 2500. Wished the interior trim was different. There isn't a front dome light. The radio is very basic but sound quality is ok. 18' wheels are nice but basic. 6 speed transmission shift smooth but lugs in higher gears

The truck is an overall great truck with many great details and no issues.
The truck is great, drives really nice. Haven't had any issues with it. Lots of space inside which is very comfortable. Leather seats, heated seats for the winter and cool seats for the summer days. Nice screen for your media/ GPS maps. Comes with a sunroof and the trunk is very spacious for anything you would want to fit back there. Overall it is a great truck.

The large room it has inside and the large console.

Powerful towing truck with a lot of nice features including exhaust brakes.
Averages around 14 mpg and less than 10 mpg when towing. Have had 2 minor recalls. Great tow vehicle with plenty of power. The truck did not come equipped with towing mirrors which I did not notice until the 1st time I towed. Big and not ideal as a general use vehicle; parking is not easy.

Ram Laramie is the best truck I have ever owned!
No issues, runs great! Very comfortable and I love the heated steering wheel. I had 4 recalls when I purchased the truck but was able to take it into a local dealership to have all updates completed in less than 3 hours at no charge. Mine is black with chrome. I wish it did not have the chrome. That is the only thing I would change.
Karen T

Great truck easy on the pocket book.
The tradesman is the basic model of the ram series of trucks. It just has the basics and that is all I need. I am a simple person with simple needs. If you are looking for something that runs great, hauls, pulls then this is the truck for you. 8ft bed making a trip to the lumber yard easy. The bed will hold 50 bales of hay stacked and tied nicely. It is all this farm girl needs, in a much more manageable price than the higher models.
Pamela N

The good and bad of a 2500.
The truck makes a noise in the muffler that they cannot fix. I have taken it back to the dealership for that problem and 5 recalls. Other than that we love the vehicle. It is reliable and roomy. For a bigger truck the gas mileage is good. It pulls good.

Comfort and design ram power wagon.
I love the power in the engine, it's 4x4. The leather seats are heated for the winter and have a fan for the summer. Love the pedal adjuster especially because of the height difference with me and my spouse. Has a sunroof and back window that opens with buttons. Lots of room.
