Amazing. The performance of the truck.
The performance of the truck is amazing and the ride is very smooth. I love the stereo in the truck and it has on site map directions. The seat are very comfortable and tinted windows all way round. The gas mileage is very good and I do not mind going on long trips with it plenty of legroom.

Most comfortable and versatile truck I have ever owned!
The 12” screen is amazing! The truck rides so smooth and is very comfortable. I have taken many trips around Florida in it and it is so nice to drive. The new 12” radio has great options while on a road trip. I.E. Travel link helps me find fuel stations with the best prices on gas and gives me directions to that station.

The back up camera is hands down my favorite feature.
My vehicle is brand new. I have not had any problems with it. I like the back up camera and GPS as well as features that sync my phone to the vehicle. It is very spacious and comfortable for the whole family. The suspension is smooth. I am very happy with my decision to purchase this vehicle.

2019 ram 2500 4x4 crew cab is an extraordinary value!
The ram 2500 4x4 crew cab tradesman is a reliable and hardworking pickup truck. It has the 6.4l hemi gas engine that gets about 14-15 mpg without towing around town and 17-19 mpg on the highway. I have taken this truck on many long trips and has the most comfort out of all of the 3/4 ton trucks by far. It takes a little getting used to the knob shifter on the dash, but is really convenient after some practice and the 8 speed transmission is solid and shifts smoother than other 3/4 ton trucks. Tranny does not want to shift going down a hill under 15 mph from a stop, but I have gotten used to staying in first gear until I get going faster and this happens on the first start of the day only. Hands free calling is good but only has pre-recorded replies for texting. This is a quiet truck and I barely have to push on the accelerator to get it moving 410 hp and 429 lbs of torque is stock with my base tradesman package. I like that the locking tailgate is standard.

2019 ram 2500 tradesman edition 4x4 with 6.7l diesel.
Very good truck. I haven't had any problems out it. I had a similar ram before and had a wreck where I rolled 4 times. The cab wasn't hurt. I liked it so much I went and bought another one. The diesel motor is a beast. Very strong and heart at pulling trailers. Pulled a 37 ft camper with no problems.

2019 ram 2500 lone star with 6.7ltr cummins diesel.
I love this truck. I tow my 16k fifth wheel with it and it does a great job. It is very comfortable to drive and even my wife enjoys driving it. This truck has great power and even when I am not towing, it rides better than any other truck I have owned. I would highly recommend this vehicle.

Ease of hauling without giving up options.
The ram 2500 is great for hauling. We have many of the upgrades including leather heated and air conditioned seats, which is awesome. The sunroof also adds a nice touch. The biggest downfall of having a full size truck is that you feel every bump. However, I must say that the diesel engine gets great gas mileage.

A pricey gentleman's hi-quality pickup.
The longhorn is a gentleman's vehicle with an off-road edge. At 4x4 it goes most anywhere that any 4x4 pickup will go. The cummins diesel is a major upgrade from my 2010 with acceleration and power that puts eight cylinder gasoline models away especially pulling a trailer up the Arizona mountains. The transmission controls overspeeding and maintains speed within one mile per hour on virtually any terrain. The features provided with the longhorn make this vehicle capable with the latest technologies. The only downside is the exorbitant purchase price; but, if you can afford it, this is one of America's finest pickup trucks. Other than that the longhorn is the finest vehicle, not just pick up, that I have ever owned.

Terrible fit of body lines
Bought the truck brand new. Got it home excited to get it set up with a snow plow. Pulled into my shop and was checking the truck over while I washed it and found the box was a minimum of 1” off to one side. Had dealer look it over and they told me it was a common problem and they sent me to a body shop where they said the only way to fix it is to enlarge the mounting holes for the box. At this point I still have no fix because I refuse to allow someone to cobble together a new truck. Not that it wasn’t put together poorly from the factory. The doors also close poorly unless you slam them hard. Maybe I was just spoiled with my old ford. I highly recommend to look at other trucks before you buy ram. If I knew what I know now I would have gladly spent the extra cash for a ford.

Purchased new 2019 ram longhorn diesel, 2 days later radio, cameras, navigation, did not work, dealer replaced. 5 months later November 2019 radio again needs replacement, this time Chrysler is telling me that it will take 2 months for a replacement. I would think that assembly line is also stopped since there are no radios, I have been a loyal Chrysler owner until now, I will not post my entire name but will post case number with Chrysler for those who can and care Case number 64907496 Awesome12” radio if they can ever get them to work correctly

Engine RPM
Good looking truck, but doors rattle through rough paved roads Hugh delay when letting off the gas and the engine RPM dropping down // should be right away correct? Horn / radio functions Hugh delay when making a selection and don’t try to double tap your horn it won’t do it and if youtake a right or left you will know it because your drivers seat track is loose and the seat bangs from side to side. I have three thousand miles at this point.

Horrible Vehicle
2019 2500 Power Wagon This is hands down the worst truck ever. The engine was replaced before I even had 3000 miles on the truck. Since then I have had so many issues with the vehicle sensors randomly going to red with nothing around. The vehicle shows that the key fob has left the vehicle as I drive down the interstate. Sometimes the truck will not move while in gear, like it does not shift from Park to Drive or reverse. The list goes on and on and Ram is no help what so ever since they can not duplicate the issues. I spent so much money for a lemon. I was a loyal Dodge/Ram owner, having several vehicles over the years, NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Will not stand behind the product!
I like my Ram but they will not stand be hind their workmanship. The bed to cab on most 2019 2500 do not aline with the cab. Mine was almost 2 inch off. The dealer was able to move it a little, still around an inch. “Ram told me to live with it.” I guess they really don’t care after you make the purchase. Guys if you have a 2019 look at the bed to cab.

Ram 2500 is an ok vehicle to own but get the better package.
It has terrible fuel mileage. The interior is very basic. The radio screen is very small. I can't change the radio stations from my steering wheel. I can't change the radio volume from my steering wheel. The back up camera is nice. I wish it had a 120 volt outlet.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Michael V.

Vehicle is reliable, heater works great. Heated steering wheel is awesome. Tows my trailer great. Use it for a work truck in the construction industry. Really enjoy the vehicle. It is a four door long bed with tool box.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Michael V.

It get poor gas mileage. The ride is not that smooth. Maintaining it is expensive. One basic oil change is over one hundred dollars. And the transmission and fuel. Filters are very expensive as well. I would not buy another one.

Is The 2019 Ram 2500 A Good Car?

Konrad B.
Yes good power, great towing capacity, good in snow, lots of creature comforts heated seats steering wheel, tow package, tow mirrors, comfortable seating, decent mileage for tow vehicle.
Marybeth B.

How Reliable Is The 2019 Ram 2500?

Yes, I have not had any issues at all with reliability, including in extremely difficult off road conditions including very cold weather and deep snow.
Konrad B.
There was a recall about a year ago and had some trouble setting electronic features. For the most part reliable but still only a year old so yet to be determined.
Marybeth B.

Is The 2019 Ram 2500 A Good Value?

Mine was around 60,000, it is a good value over some similarity priced vehicles and genuinely lives up to the claims that are made by ram about it.
Konrad B.
$ 52,00 I guess. Any vehicle could probably cost less but of course between the manufacturer, the wholesale dealer and retail dealer the cost builds. Up.
Marybeth B.
