My daughter has got the bug for a new truck and was wondering about the new v-6 Ram Diesel. How about some feed back for anyone that bought one or works at a dealership.

So far I love mine. 2014 Ram Laramie 4 door 4x4 with all the bells and whistles. I replaced my 06 Silverado with it and am very pleased. It drives better, stops better and is quieter than my Silverado was new by far. I only have 2300 miles on it but am averaging an honest 22.9 mainly city driving. Have not towed a lot of weight but pulled my roll off trailer with the bed and trailer full of furniture. trailer is 4000 lbs empty. Did not know it was back there. Cab is super quiet and 8 speed automatic works great. I did get the 7 year warranty because of all the electronics. I retired as a Cummins field mechanic so I did my research on the engine. Looks like a very well built engine. Gale Banks shows a nice break down on it. Oil changes are supposed to go 10,000 miles. I am going to do my first one at 5000. Oil filters are a little pricey at 50$ each, only available from Mopar so far. Getting ready to tow my boat to Texas with it, will update you all with highway mileage.

I've put a thousand miles or so on one. It is a well done truck. The 8 speed trans is very good, power is great, the Alpine stereo is incredible, and most of the bells and whistles (nav, heated/cooled seats, air suspension, etc) are fun to play with. It's comfortable and great on trips too.

In mixed city/highway driving I got about 24mpg with it, a 4x4 crew cab Laramie.

Only minor complaints about it:

-you can hear turbo surge when you tip out of the throttle at low speed and high load (like brake torquing, or trying to move a trailer around, etc).

-at midrange altitudes (Denver, Idaho Springs, Flagstaff) it has noticeable turbo lag when taking off from a light. It has a little lag on launch at sea level too but it isn't objectionable.

-if you tip in and out of the accelerator pedal a lot, you'll occasionally get driveline clunks.

Thanks guys. Just what I need.
