2005 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 Laramie Regular Cab review from North America
"The best truck money can buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 80,000 mile the transmission, clutch, a "U" joint, and most of the rear end all went. The truck was still drivable and the dealer replaced everything under the extended warranty.
General comments?
This truck has the Cummins with a manual and the 4:10 rear and it has LOTS of power. Very fast and will pull any thing.
Fuel economy is very good when not towing, I have seen 20 mph if you keep it at 55 15-18 mph at true highway speeds. 10-15mph when towing.
Very comfortable great interior and a great looking extirior. Cannot figure out how to work the satellite navigation, but so what.
I have an 2006 as well and when the two trucks sit next to each other people cannot stop staring with envy (Both are 3500 regular cabs with black paint). Cannot beat a Cummins or a Dodge, and Ford and GM should just stop trying.
