There are two things I love about Dodge, that no other truck company has: 1) very flexible options (i.e. you can select bed size regardless of trim), and 2) manual transmission.
53K USD truck and best it can do is 12MPG?.... Very nice review, I like it when people do real world reviews with facts, real figures and no B/S info. I really like these trucks but they cost me an arm and a leg to get here in Australia (Think Base model at $130K AUD) so i expect alot of truck for my cash.
@WRANGLER359 The Ford King Ranch is not shabby either, but I'm a Dodge Boy so it's the Ram I love and yes I'm very glad to see Dodge finally build a luxurious truck that will get the big jobs done. Actually they should have done this to coincide with the intro of the 6.7 but better late than never I guess.
chevy actually has a better riding truck it uses the hydro mounts like the ram but chevy uses a indepent front suspension in stead of a live axile front suspension
When I first saw this truck i thought the steering would be heavy as a bitch, but when i took it for a test drive the steering was soooooooooooo light it was unbeleivable, better then my 2005 jeep grand cherokee
I'm can not wait for a review of the the high output cummins with 800 pound feet of torque, it seems like after the motor trend truck of the year award all the reviewers are done. The heavy duty truck wars are not over! Dodge is just a little slow this year......
@TheMalique4 thanks for your completely uneducated answer. Cool you drive a dodge, thats nice. But the truth is mackenful is right. IFS or independent front suspension does provide a more comfortable ride then a solid front axle, but i will say that the Dodge 2500 is better off road then the chevy 2500 because of this. I personally like both trucks, but i would take the dodge cummins over the chevy duramax. but that is personal preference

Nice! These new Dodges are just great looking, plus they have the best diesel engine on the road.
finaly dodge gets the credit for haveing the best work truck of them all.
Excelente Camioneta esa RAM puede con todo ... tiene full fuerza en su motor
solid axles front and rear, mean looks, it's a real truck!!!
Great review! I hope Chrysler/Dodge begin producing their cars with this level of quality!

Nice Brand New Truck
Very beautiful truck!!!!!
@DodgeRamHeavyDuty Yes but they're not legal hauling that much. 12.5k is the factory rating for the receiver hitch.

I'm glad RAM has made improvements on fuel economy. 12 mpg empty? What would towing 10k bring it down to fuckin' 2mpg?

@TCB1468 i think it could have been because of the design they have now
Nice truck
excuse me while i grab another pair of shorts from the drawer.....
$54k wow a similar equipt ram today costs $80 to $90k
@SilVeRS1325 Not covering anything up. I admit that I'm a jerk. So ?...
I don't know if i want a 1500 or 2500
For everyday use get a 1500. If you plan on towing a lot then go for a 2500.
(dodgeramguys) I totally agree with you NICE
TRUCK
That or power wagon or dually hmmmm
