Default 2018 Ram

Thinking about buying a 2018 3500 SRW Laramie Crew Cab 4x4 Diesel 8' box - anybody here have one? Pros? Cons?
Although by the time I pull the trigger the 2019's will be out.

TIA,
SP

I owned a few diesels I had nothing but problems but that was my experience, I even traded them for gassers. I do know a lot of people with the Cummins and I would say about 75% of them don't have problems.

I'm just asking about the truck overall. I bought my 2004 (in my signature) brand new. It's been a pretty good truck, but it has had minor issues through the years. It is easy to work on, doesn't have all the electronics on it. Just wondering if people are happy with the newer (2016-2018) trucks, any issues?

TIPM, recalls, and a few others. Am I happy with mine yeah I am. Would I buy another one? Yes only because I like the Power Wagons they ever get rid of them I won't buy new every again.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2018 Ram 3500 SRW Diesel 4x4 6.7L Long Box Laramie!

How is the gas mileage?

It doesn't burn any gas. It runs on diesel.

Average seems to be right around 14 or so. (combined city/highway)
