Goin to 2500 CTD

Klaus96 · Aug 18, 2016

Well looks like this is it...tomorrow morning I'm trading in my 14 1500 for a 14 2500 Cummins. Excited, but sad to see her go....

I know the feeling. I traded my Tundra which I LOVED for my 2500. I needed the heavier truck for my new trailer. While I still miss my Tundra, the Ram is a great truck and the CTD is an amazing engine.

Just hook onto a trailer and when you feel that Hummin' Cummins pull like a train you won't be sad anymore!!!

Funny you say that, when I was up to speed on the freeway I thought "this reminds me of a train" haha

Congrats OP!

Thanks, I couldn't resist. It has the black sport appearance package and all of the aftermarket accessories that I put on my 1500 and then some.

Yes, a CTD is an amazing experience. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

I just got my brother in law to buy one. He has driven imports all his life. He had only had it one day but said OMG the difference. Yup!

Congrats OP!! PICS!!

Ctd with he300 variable blades for exhaust brake is fantastic. My brake pads look new at 67,000 miles.

cash4acres · Aug 19, 2016

And 24-28mpg freeway,
20+mpg city
16 mpg off roading, sand, towing, OMG!
9600lbs = 4 Prius cars!

The turbo on the Cummins 6.7L in the pickups is an HE351VE.

Too keep the truck miles per gallon above 20++ avoid big tires & jacking up height. Firestones HT (Highway Tires) get 2-3 mpgs better than AT (all terrain). I tried both. 75-80lbs also increases mpg by 1-3mpg

Kid with identical truck jacked up 6" & fat off road tires & rims told me 10 city & 12+ freeway with automatic transmission & empty! I'm at 9600lbs & 24-28mpg freeway. 22mpg combined with 6 speed manual.
