Ram 2500

[sftull]

I’ve driven chevy 2500’s, currently in ‘15 f250 and thinking about moving to a dodge. I specked out a new ‘22 2500 limited with the black out package and almost everything you can get on it and my o my they look good. I think I heard that the newer models have a cp4 pump but other than that, are there any downsides?

Anyone currently driving a new 2500 limited and if so, how’s the ride?

I got 19 ram 2500 with 50k miles. No issues

Can't help as far as the 2500, goes, but I love my 1500 Laramie. Only issue I've had was a cylinder misfire. Took it in, had it back in 2 days. Warranty covered a bad gasket that was letting air in. Check out 31Dodge.com. They will deliver you a new truck to your door. I've done it with them twice.

Only 19 and 20 have the CP4.

Cummins caught on quick.

I was hoping you would chime in KRT.. Good for them realizing it was a bad thing. Anyone have any idea on the lead time on a new truck these days? I'm guess 6-8 months but haven't called a dealer yet b/c I hate car dealers.

Im in a 2020 RAM 1500 Limited eco diesel with air ride. Im at 40k miles, best truck I have ever owned. Neighbor has the 2500 mega cab and loves it as well.

Do yourself a favor and drive one with and w/o the air suspension, and if possible, hookup a trailer and feel the difference.

The biggest issue I had was the drastic towing reduction once you reached a limited package. They drop the towing down to around 13,000 pounds.

21 on has a CP3 pump. RAM was rumored to be going with a real Allison transmission in 22 or 23 but I think that got quashed. If you go to the HO in a 3500 you can get the Aisin, air suspension and a 50gal tank in a long bed. Wish they hadn’t changed the front end though.

Friend got a Ram 1500 last year and the ride quality and interior was impressive. I’m a few years out from needing a new truck so I’ll be watching his to see how it holds up.

On my 5th RAM 1500 and they keep getting better. The ride on my 2021 Laramie is excellent. Had an issue with a 2012 I had years ago and Dodge fixed it under warranty. Something with the crank shaft at 85k miles. I usually run them up to 120k miles before I trade in. I put a lot of miles on my trucks in a short period of time.

The one I have specked has the air suspension.

Why would the limited package drop the towing capability??

[KRT]

Limited has 14k towing because of air ride

Tradesman has 18k towing

I got a recall notice on the CP4 pump in my 19'. However, the parts are not available. Go figure, I've been waiting since August on parts for two other repairs.

We ordered 4 Rams back in February at work and won't be receiving them until the first quarter of 2022. Or at least that's what they're telling us right now. 3500-5500 series trucks.

Ordered a Ram 2500 Mega cab Laramie and 2500 Mega Cab Longhorn. Got both of them with the last one arrived day before Thanksgiving.

Got an '18 Laraime 2500 w/ 64K, only issue was ABS pump failed, fully covered.
Way too much stuff in cab to reflect sun.
Pulling a 12K boat feels loose with coils, '06 had leaf springs and felt tighter.
Air Susp. may stiffen it up.
Can't wait for warranty to run out, miss the difference once deleted/tuned.

No clue on rams, what models don’t have rear coils? I’ve heard complaints about them before from guys towing.
