Thanks Dodge for doing a bang up job. I would recomend this truck to anyone who pulls or hauls it is a true diesel straight 6 and Cummins has been around since 1919. Overall I am very pleased. Officially, Chrysler no longer refers to its full-size pickup as the Dodge Ram. Other updates for 2011 include making the in-dash vehicle information center standard on all models, and an integrated brake controller comes standard on all but the base model, a great feature. That said, we found a 2011 Ram 3500 rode very nicely while towing a 6,000-pound trailer. The cab noise is low.
Could not ask for a better truck. This calculation reflects amounts in U. I can't wait to see if they are going to put the 8speed tranny in next year's model. Two bed lengths 6-foot, 4-inch and 8-foot are available, along with a choice of four wheelbases. Some drivers who pull heavy trailers say you get better reliability on steep hills with a manual. Check with your dealer for exact monthly payment. But don't confuse this with a car because it is substantially larger and will not ride softly even if you load it up.
. Ram Heavy Duty models received a major overhaul for the 2010 model year along with refinements throughout. Introduction The 2011 Ram Heavy Duty models, the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500, are comfortable and highly capable, ready for serious towing or heavy-duty hauling. These Rams can move a small mountain and still look good doing it. I like having the jake brake when towing it is nice. The feeling was night and day compared to the regular Cummins. The Ram Heavy Duty is not identical to the light-duty trucks, but many interior and some sheetmetal parts are the same.
My first time towing I passed a semi about and looked down at the speedo thinking the truck was going real slow. The regular and crew cab interiors are also very similar. The cabin was launched in the 2009 Ram 1500, and the engines, transmissions and brakes are evolutionary versions of the 2009 heavy-duty models. For adding your own box or work platform, 3500 Chassis Cab models are available, as are commercial-grade medium-duty Ram 4500 and 5500 trucks. A factory spray-in bedliner is available, along with new colors and new wheel designs.
The Crew Cab got larger, giving Ram a unique cab lineup in the segment. Most of the parts and technology on the 2011 models have been proven in earlier Rams. The expense of keeping one up is exspensive also, but that is the price you pay to play. The Ram Heavy Duty was restyled for 2010 to go with the new 2009 Ram 1500 light-duty. Three cab configurations are available: Regular, Crew Cab, Mega Cab. Only the Ram offers a choice of transmissions with the diesel.

The Cummins diesel is a monster, but smooth and quiet. Anyways that gave me a chance to drive it cross country and it was a dream. They remain a compelling choice for anyone in need of a heavy-duty pickup truck, and on balance are priced similarly to 2010 models. I would say though the performance is less than chevy or ford but dodge gives u a strong truck regardless I marked 5 stars for reliability just for the simple fact it's a cummins but it true test will be known after a munch longer period of time. I am used to adding speed when I see a mountain ahead.
This truck works great, the ride is excellent considering its a 2500, and the interior is extremely comfortable. Dollars rounded to the nearest whole dollar. I was going 80 mph. This is not a coil sprung half ton that rides like a Lexus. I notice as I watched the tac to see when it was shifting. All specifications, prices and equipment are subject to change without notice.
The design is sleek and aerodynamic. We prefer the automatic, however. Overall in the past month i have put on over 4000 miles with little complaint it hauls butt when I tell it to an works even harder when I tell it to all in all u can't beat this truck for what it offers an at the price u can purchase it for I would recommend this truck to anyone. The audio and bluetooth are not user friendly but are there. Thoroughly revised for 2010, the 2011 Rams boast proven technology while benefiting from some minor updates.
Mostly moved over to Dodge Cummins due to Cummins being a durable power plant, but the key was the price. Also, trailers heavy trailers require a different driver's license in some states.

The leather interior is very sharp. This truck has impressed me all the way around, except that I did exspect better fuel milage than 16 for a average. Ram 2500 comes standard with the 5.
I put a form fit bud guard, window vent guards and running boards on it. The transmission does the smoothest and almost unnoticeable shifts. I would not use to commute back and forth to work. The optional Cummins turbodiesel met current emissions requirements years ago. Actual down payment and resulting monthly payments may vary depending upon type and use of vehicle, regional lender requirements, and the strength of your credit.
