Consumer Reviews from Edmunds.com:
"I pinch myself every time I drive this truck. The short bed handles great, the interior is luxury for me, the four wheel drive is great, exhaust brake is great, visibility wonderful, and build quality seems to be top notch for an American vehicle. I have driven the Tundra and this trick kicks butt. The 6.7 litter dodge with the 6 speed is out of this world. The mirrors are also brilliant. The Dodge is better than Chevy and Ford (neither one utilizes the solid four piece frame channels)."
"Picked this up with less than 100 miles on it and have put 1,500 on it so far. Fuel economy for highway driving averaged 24.7 mpg for the first 1,400. I have no complaints and it exceeds my expectations in every category. I enjoy the jake brake and like the way it works."
"6.7L Cummins has great power, & is very quiet. Exhaust brake works great. 6 speed auto with the manual button mode is fantastic, a quantum leap from the old 4 speed auto. Stock radio is pretty good, & I've had premium sound."
"The diesel is a great engine and is quiet. Interior is very comfortable, and roomy. Six speed auto and exhaust brake is awesome."
When it comes to heavy-duty work trucks known for legendary durability and uncompromising reliability, only the Ram 2500/3500 heavy duty mode is built to carry it all: tools, cargo, upfits, and people. Above all, they carry that reputation for quality few can match. Dodge Ram 2500/3500 heavy duty. This is how the job gets done.
History and legend team up for tomorrow 's engineering. The most recent iteration of the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 for Ram Heavy Duty pickups now
features Variable Valve Timing (VVT), for outstanding fuel management and performance across the board. Additional features that make the HEMI V8 the ideal choice when only a gas engine will do the job:
MORE POWER. New cylinder heads on the redesigned HEMI V8 now feature high-flow ports, larger valves and increased compression ratio; results are measured directly in performance - with no compromise in fuel use. It's all about the engineering: The characteristic hemispherical cylinder heads are what give the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8 such clout in the world of trucks - and now this world-famous engine is better than ever.
MORE TORQUE. New for the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 is Variable Valve Timing (VVT), a technology so sophisticated in the field, it's utilized on Formula One race cars. VVT offers increased engine breathing throughout the rpm range by varying the degree that valves open and close in conjunction with piston position. The advantages are seen across the board: better performance, more efficient operation, and measurable increased torque for towing and hauling demands.
MORE Efficiency. The new short runner valve (SRV) active intake manifold: Here, air intake flow is more efficiently controlled by changing port length based on engine rpm. At low speeds, the manifold uses a longer port path for abundant low-end torque; at higher speeds, the manifold uses a short port; air moves faster to the combustion chamber. The SRV manifold contributes to more power and torque - again, without sacrificing fuel economy.
DRIVING THE OTHER HALF OF THE DRIVETRAIN:
THE RAM TRANSMISSIONS.
6-SPEED AUTOMATIC.
For Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty pickups with available Cummins® 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel. Here's quality measured in durability. The 6-speed with Electronic Range Select works in concert with the factory installed engine exhaust brake, giving outstanding driver control of rpm and speed - a valuable advantage when decelerating downhill.
6-SPEED MANUAL.
This heavy-duty transmission is standard on all Ram Heavy Duty pickups equipped with the 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel. The ultra-low first gear ratio
- as low as 6.29:1 - is ideal for heavier hauling.
5-SPEED 545RFE AUTOMATIC.
Standard on 2500pickups with the 5.7-liter HEMI V8. A specialized fifth gear - available as an additional overdrive ratio - helps provide increased fuel economy and reduced engine noise at highway speeds. (The fifth gear ratio is 0.67:1 -a 16 percent reduction in engine rpm relative to the fourth gear 0.75:1 ratio.)
THE CUMMINS ® 6.7-LIT ER TURBO DIESEL: A CLEAN BREAK FROM OTHER DIESELS.
Cummins and Dodge Ram form a team that results in outstanding reliability. Used in Ram 2500 up to Ram 5500 Chassis Cabs, the Cummins has total capability with 650 lb-ft* of torque and best-in-class low-end torque. But a history that starts with powering more than 1.6 million Dodge Rams also addresses the future. The Cummins 6.7-liter now ranks among the cleanest of any full-size pickup diesel engine. Emissions are so low, they currently meet 2010 emissions regulations.
Durability and longevity by design. A cast-iron head, hardened nickel-cobalt steel exhaust valve seats, gallery-cooled pistons: The materials and cooling mechanisms are designed to come together to offer decades of use.
Fuel injection at the speed of lightning. Electronic solenoid injectors are capable of multiple injections per cycle at pressures up to 23,000 psi. Result: Precise noise and emissions control with maximum performance.
Exhaust brake: Right from the get-go. It's factory-installed, ensuring quality. The engine brake contributes to longer brake life, faster cab warm-up, and greater vehicle control.
Lean, mean - and very clean. Fewer moving parts than comparable gas engines reduces complexity - and consequent costs. And this Cummins is super-clean, making it the cleanest full-size pickup diesel out there.
Ultra -cool performance. The gallery-cooled pistons receive a constant stream of oil for cooler operation - while the oil itself is simultaneously cooled by a system of constantly circulating water.
Super -strong connecting rods. Heavy-duty commercial-grade connecting rods are forged from a single mold - a process that adds to strength - and then fracture-split, for exacting tolerances.
Built-in economies. The focus on longevity translates into reduced costs-over-lifetime. The hardened nickel-chromium exhaust valves also contribute to long life-to-overhaul range.
Variable geometry turbocharger (VGT). Highly sophisticated, the VGT here differs radically from Ford and GM engineering - which both place the turbo on top of the engine. Side-mounting of the turbocharger on this inline six-cylinder simplifies the design and helps alleviate under-the-hood heat buildup that can occur with V8 engines.
Large piston bowl helps keep things clean. The large piston bowl is another engineering technique used to ensure good power and clean emissions.
Common-rail architecture. Plus. The common-rail architecture plus sophisticated electronics equals significant advantages: multiple injection pulses and
independent control of injection pressures. The result is noticeably quieter operation and outstanding cold starting capability - down to -20° F, unaided.
The fuel filter: efficiency by design. With fuel properties and emissions standards rapidly changing, the fuel filter offers higher efficiency - along with the capability to handle ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD).
Strong engine, strong warranty. The Limited
Warranty coverage is for 5 years or 100,000 miles.
