    6.4 MPGs

    2016 2500 Tradesman with the 6.4L & 6-speed auto/4.10 gears... I average about 12 mpg around town & 17-18 mpg on the highway. I run 70-75 psi in my tires (stock size). Mileage drops off 1-2 mpg once the switch to winter blend kicks in.

    2019 2500 6.4L engine blown up at 95K miles?

    fun read, this thread... engine seizes at 95k miles (WELL out of factory warranty), the day after an oil change, was covered by an aftermarket warranty to 94k, and then get upset when RamCares doesn't chip in some free money when it's WAY past the factory warranty? I don't see how this, in...

    Bumpers..what do you have?

    No... you're not. I also prefer the chrome bumpers. Most of the painted bumpers I see are littered with stone chips & scrapes. Chrome is FAR more durable. That said, I could do without the billboards on the front doors of my 2500... they're a little overdone, in my opinion. I could...

    I bought the wrong oil kit...

    ... my local Ram dealer charged me $110 for 8 quarts of oil & a filter... I'll be shopping around next time. A couple of days later, I get a coupon in the mail for an oil change for $69.95... including tire rotation... from the dealer I purchased from (45 min. away).

    Do the upper trim levels really add to the towing or drving experience?

    When I bought my '16 Tradesman HD gasser (new), it was optioned to near-SLT levels... had the chrome package, had the cloth seats/carpet, parksense, 4.10 gears, electronic 4x4 w/ anti-spin, LED bed lights, UConnect5, & a few other goodies. I would like to have had the center console, but that...

    This is new or FU***** sirius

    I've been through the ringer with SXM as well. I went to renew one of my (two) subscriptions, & go through the whole bargaining process. I find out the next day that they renewed BOTH of my subscriptions, the second at a considerably higher rate. I did NOT authorize that. They gave me the...

    2020 PW Hydro Blue looks great

    ... that was my concern since they introduced them... that they would warp over time & fitment would be worse.

    Anything you wish you knew?

    Seriously???? I've always been pretty impressed with the mileage on my 2500 ('16 Tradesman crew cab 4x4 6.4L 4.10s). I get about 12 around town. I have managed 18-19 mpg loaded up on long camping trips. I think that's pretty darned good for a 3/4 ton truck. I had a 2000 SuperDuty before...

    Front End Bottoming Out...

    I bought it new... and there's not much call for snow plows around Los Angeles... but I appreciate the input.

    Front End Bottoming Out...

    I'm pretty sure... can feel the suspension compress, & then hit the bump stops. Not a huge deal for me, but was curious if anyone else had noticed this... especially since mine only has 15,000 miles on it.

    Front End Bottoming Out...

    Anyone else have this issue? I have a '16 2500 ccsb 6.4L hemi 4x4 Tradesman with the 4.10s.... and I'm kindof surprised that going over speed bumps and/or dips onto parking lots/side streets the front end will bottom out & hit the bump stops quite easily. I realize they may soften the...

    The Base Model? Maybe Not.

    Yup... to each his own... I went from a Super Duty Supercab to a Ram 2500 Crew cab. My dog didn't have enough room in the back of the Supercab.

    If You're Looking at the 2019 Ram 2500 Hemi 6.4 - Here's my 2 Cents

    ...interesting that so many have trouble finding HDs with the 4.10s... when I bought my '16 Tradesman, everything they had in stock had the 4.10s... so whomever did their ordering (Ram of the West, Lancaster, CA) did it RIGHT!

    Total or Not to Total? That is the Question

    When I bought my Ram in 2016, I had a 2000 Super Duty supercab V10 4x4 in pretty good shape, with 87,000 mile on it. When I went to trade it in, they offered me $1500. When I balked at the offer, their explanation was that it had a branded title... which I knew... but I also knew what the...

    Sirius XM class action lawsuit

    I've had my subscription on & off for about 15 years. Radio reception is terrible in my area, so it's a good alternative... for the right price. Yes, the programming gets repetitive... so I'll switch to a different channel for a while. The renewal phone calls get annoying. I have SXM...

    Excessive dropout with Sirius/XM...

    Anyone else have this problem? I have the factory UConnect 5.0 system on my '16 Ram 2500- and the puck-style antenna on the roof. Am wondering if I have a radio problem, an antenna problem, or just a crappy design/software. Now, granted... the terrain in my area DOES cause some dropout on...

    6.4 Hemi overall experiences?

    Have owned my '16 RAM 2500 ccsb 6.4L hemi with the 4.10s for 2.5 years, and I'm still very happy with it. No issues to report. LOVE this engine with the 4.10s... really wakes it up. The transmission programming could be better. I got a Tradesman, optioned up to near-SLT level, & it's...

    Chevy guy looking at RAM

    I had always been a Ford guy, but when it came time to replace my 2000 SuperDuty, I looked at my options. I had found a leftover '15 SuperDuty, but they just wouldn't deal on it. I bought a '16 Ram 2500 crew cab 4x4 with the 6.4L Hemi & 4.10 gears. I've been pretty happy with it. The 4.10s...

    Looking hard at a new 2500

    wow... lots of opinions on here. I'll throw mine in. I came out of a 2000 Super Duty supercab V10 4x4... and into a '16 Ram crew cab short bed 4x4 with the 6.4L hemi & 4.10 gears. I LOVE how the 4.10s wake up the engine... much quicker off the line. I haven't noticed a huge penalty in...

    What floor liners for great protection in front seat area? Seat covers for truck too?

    I got the Ram slush mats for my '16 CCSB, and like others, wish the coverage were better on the passenger side. As far as seat covers go... I went with the Carhartt duckweave seat covers. They've been great. I looked at a lot of the neoprene seat covers and found that most of them fit a bit...
