Hi all, I have a '06 Ram 2500 5.9 6 speed that I love, but I've outgrown it. My wife and kids were complaining every time we went somewhere about the small quad cab. So it's time to upgrade. ...
I'll add my voice to the Ram 3500. No issues with ours, maintenance costs have been very reasonable (oil changes, air filter, fuel filters (there are two), and a few additions), and no issues with insurance or registration (although in Nevada the latter was around $800 at 14,000 lbs GVWR).
My insurance company did send me a letter after I had it for a few months asking how much I used it for work - clearly wanting to make sure it wasn't a work truck.
