Bought our first DIESEL!!

We bought our first diesel a few days ago.

We traded in our 2012 Ram 2500 Mega Cab with 26,500 miles on it and walked away with our

2016 Ram 3500 Big Horn Crew Cab Turbo Cummings. We aren't to sure about the crew cab but we are impressed with the Cummings. So far only 175 miles on it but 17mpg around the city and close to 19 on the highway is amazing. The power it has is amazing and the rumble is great.

We aren't impressed with the backup camera. That's the only thing we can find we don't like. It's horrible.

We are just waiting for the new hitch to come in so we can install it and hook up to our 40' fifth wheel and see how she does. The Mega did great but had many upgrades and could barely push 11-12 mpg out of her with the trailer.

Once I learn how to post pics I'll get a few up.

  • Congrats on your new purchase. In time, you'll come to appreciate the crew cab! If your back seats lift up (like mine do in my Chevy), you'll have tons of extra storage space, unless you have passengers. If you have passengers, they'll appreciate the extra space too!

    You bet! Wait till you tow! You'll wonder why you wasted your time with a gasser!

    Once again, Congrats!
  • Good call on the RAM/Cummins. Fill in your signature. Long bed? DRW? Aisin trans?

    Now no one on here is going to believe you until you post some pics of the new beast!
