    First thing you do is delete all of the engine killing junk off of the truck. I always make sure to warm her up and cool her down properly as well. My 2018 Ram Cummins crew cab 2wd drives and runs like it should now. I get 18+mpg in the city, 25-26mpg hwy, and 13-15 towing my 11,000lb 5th wheel. I run it with the rear tires aired down to 60psi and it rides really well. I love my truck and drive it every day.

    I've been daily-driving my 2003 3500 Cummins for a little over 2 years now. Gotta say I've had next to zero issues doing so. The little inconveniences like being big on the road, the rougher ride, sometimes having to park further away from everyone to give yourself space, and the like are all just things you get used to after a while. To this day, I still prefer the sound of the engine to the radio 90% of the time! Definitely won't go back to gasoline at this point.

    Reducing tire pressure, especially in the rear helps with ride quality and tire wear, I end up driving with the tire light because ram did away with the light load button for the TPS. Also bushwacker makes a nice sill guard so you don’t scratch the paint getting in or out of your truck.

The 1500 had a cargo capacity of 1400 lb and I needed more for the RV that I am getting. The 2500 has a 2200 lb cargo capacity which is well within the 1600 lb pin weight of the RV.

    I live in a really small town in Alaska, and only have about a hundred miles of roads. No interstates, and completely isolated. I daily drive my 19’ 2500 CTD with no issues. My last truck was 15’ 2500 6.4, and to be honest sometimes I do miss the simplicity of that truck, but I just love the sound of the CTD.. lol. I work only 4 miles from home and drive another 6 or so miles to get groceries and gas, so the truck does regen a lot; usually about every month or two or 700 or so miles. Especially in the winters were she idles a lot in the cold mornings ( yes, she gets plugged in). I do have to take it on long drives about once a week to burn up the moisture in the oil, but my point being is these trucks CAN daily drive and people shouldn’t worry about it. At the end of the day, if it does break down, just fix it and keep going. No reason to sweat it

I haven't had a lick of problems with it, I change the oil, rotate tires, change trans, transfer and differential fluids and it purrrrs like a kitten. Didn't need brakes until 70K miles. My 2012 is pre DEF. She's almost 10 years old and will be replaced with a truck I ordered in Nov which is a 2021 3500 HO Bighorn CC 4x4. Delivery scheduled mid Jan 2021.

    Pretty spot on Everyday Man. I have a 2018 RAM3500 DRW Big Horn with the 4:10 Aisin. It’s more of an RV at this time (used for pulling my Keystone Fuzion 429 Toyhauler 5ver 44 ft). It’s a beast but makes small work of the Fuzion. Stable as hell, amazing truck. I’m on the severe heavy duty towing schedule but as long as I stay on top of that, she runs PERFECTLY. However, next year my oldest daughter will be getting her drivers license and will inherit my daily driver Chevy HHR. That means my 3500 will become my new daily driver. Not a bad thing at all but just means my maintenance intervals come up much quicker. Great info video so I know what to expect when the daily driver duties start.

    I agree with what many actual diesel owners experience about the maintenance not being that bad if nothing goes wrong. Yeah you have a Turbo that can go bad, the actuator on the turbo is well known for failing at 60-80k. Overall it’s not hard at all to do your own oil change for under 50 bucks… Atleast it wasnt before Covid Ofcourse, Oil prices have gone up so it’s more like maybe 60 to 100 bucks depending on oil. . the good fuel filters to use are at around$100 but at least those really don’t need to get changed but once every 25,000 miles, atleast that’s what I’ve done and haven’t had issues in100,000 miles. In total stock form these trucks handle really well and do drive pretty comfortably for a heavy duty… Atleast my Megacab does. suburban lifestyle isn’t bad at all, I mean any longer vehicle can suck like a Tahoe/Surbuban, Expedition, van or 4 door truck. I drive around the Chicagoland area and have lived there for 31 years, it can be a little hairy depending what cities or areas you travel but overall not terrible as people think unless you actually live downtown Chicago or areas like San Diego where there is no space left. just have to know how to drive these things. On my 35x12.5 on 20x10 wheels yeah these truck do have a bad turning radius but again so do all big trucks. As for the weight, I speed around in mine a lot, I treat it like a sports car and with a good tune it sure gets moving well. These love to sit at 80-90mph on the highway for long periods of time. Plenty of cross country trips from Chicago to California, and these trucks,specially the megacab make for a great road trip experience. Super comfy for 30+ hr driving nonstop

    Great video. From one Louisiana truck driver to another. Just to let you know, I have 2018 Limited 3500 SRW. It’s the 6.4l liter hemi. I get between 15-18 mpg. It feels heavier than my old truck (a 2013 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi) but the ride quality is exceptionally smooth. The truck feels heavy but the 410hp engine moves it pretty quickly. I have the 6 speed gearbox which I hear that people don’t like, the newer 8 speed is supposed to e a whole lot better. I plan to tow a 12500llb fifth wheel with it soon which will surely be the acids test. So far, I love my truck.

    My cousin has the 3500 with the 6.4 and my 2 buddies in the 2500. They both are running 35×12's on their trucks witch would account for the worse mileage. I bought the deisel because my trailer and tractor weighs in at about 13,000 witch is right on the limit for the 6.4 2500. But their trucks are quicker than mine. Bit that diesel power has no end to it. There is always more when its needed. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope your truck treats you well.

    Best thing I ever did was have my truck completely under coated by LineX when it was new, takes a good 5-6 years of nasty salty Midwest winters to dry it out and start to do work. But I always repaint or spray that fluid film on any bare parts. But nothings helps if you can’t wash it enough during them cold -degree/single digit winters and it has to sit all covered in salt spray for weeks at a time

Absolutely love the truck and don’t haul anything. I’m a big guy, 6’3” 265 lbs and the 1500 just did not fit me well. The mpg is 13-14 hand calculated. And it rides like a wagon. I am currently looking at and 2500 Cummins as a daily driver. Thanks for your input on the maintenance. I do worry about the turbo going out.....I’ve heard horror stories.

Anyone under 6ft next to me was like “dang!!! If you have a slight issue being tall I’m really not gonna be able to easily step up into the bed. I think the next year Ford dropped down the height because of it.

Currently I drive an 02 Tahoe 5.3L V8 vortec and runs like a champ, I've had a year and a half and put roughly 60k miles on it, it's got the normal wear and tear for replacing one thing here and there, but overall I enjoy it, but I'm weighing my options heavily towards a 2500 ram diesel thanks for the great review 👍

Only problem I have is finding the dadburned laramie longhorn floor mats with the dadgum barbed wire as the anti-slip tread. I'd like to find some that are at least in decent shape, but all I've found are the mega cab mats, not the crew cab ones. And the only crew cab piece I've found is the back half, can't find the front to save my life. Love the video though, and I LOVE these trucks!

    Do you find driving it easy every day would be bad for the CTD? I had a '07 Ram - pre urea days - and the turbo would soot up and throw engine lights at me all the time. The dealer told me I had to "drive it like I stole it" in order to keep it clean. But I couldn't do it enough and finally had to trade it in for an '09 gasser. But now it's time to trade in the '09 and I'm wondering if they fixed all those issues because other than the sooting, I LOVED LOVED LOVED the CTD.
