I live in Canada, just bought my first Cummins, 2022 ram 2500 limited, super impressed with it, you nailed this pro & con, i share all your sentiments! Keep on Trucking!

[@1scooterpilot1]

Thanks for the video. My 2012 RAM BigHorn 4x4 2500 CC diesel has never ever seen the MPG you mentioned. Around town and on the Hwy I get 15 mpg if I"m lucky. 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.

Then tires were chewed up so I ran those till the last bit then put on some new tires with the same rims as before and I thing those might be part of the issue .

15,000 miles between oil changes is absolutely ridiculous, take a good look at Dave’s auto one of your friendly neighbors on KZbin. If you want cheap piece of mine you should be changing that every 7000, the inside of your engine is going to be a ball of sludge I can’t believe you’re waiting 15,000 miles.

[@CorvetteStuff1]

Check out CJC off-road for suspension options. I added 2” Thuren coils and Fox shocks up front and left the rear stock. Rides way better and the cost was $700. I did the install and it’s pretty easy

[@MXvsATV144]

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

[@malnfc8565]

Don’t do 15,000 mile oil change intervals people. Manufacturers might say that it’s fine but they really don’t care that much about if once the warranty expires. Yes the oil can be a bit expensive but it is well worth doing. My Cummins lasted 485K miles without ever taking the head off, that would not happen with 15K mile change intervals.

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.

[@JeffBrauss]

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

[@EverydayMan]

Thank you for the input and thanks for watching!!

[@hardtruth2039]

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.

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.

Manual says change fuel filters every other oil change. Oil change with syn in Montana at the dealer is $145. Not outrageous considering the amount of oil it takes. Oil and fuel filter change Is very expensive 375. I love my 2018 Ram 2500 . Great diesel engine . Hwy gets 22 MPG. Town about 17. Drives smooth on good roads and rough on bad roads. Diesel is about 225 gallon here and back east the b@$tards tax the hell out of it and Is at least another dollar a gallon. Tows very well just don't get ridiculous with the weight. Move up to the 3500/4500 class if you tow big . Parking is not an issue if you park further out and don't park where you have to back out . Common sense works .

Daily drive my 2007 5.9 Cummins. Love it.

[@actuallyitskevin]

Subscribed! I bought a '22 2500 with the 6.7 last week and I love it! I was wondering about the ride, and now I know that's just normal. Thanks for the vid brother.

[@raykrv6a]

I have a 2014 RAM 2500 CCSB Laramie with Cummins. Been a great truck. I got it to tow my car hauler around and it does a great job. Had a GMC with Duramax before and it had a lot of problems. I was happy to get in a RAM. The warranty on the Cummins is great too if you need it.

[@HalfCrazy520]

My daily driver is a 2018 Ram 2500/Cummins. Weighing in at 8250 lbs with my wife and me in it, as I drive it. On my daily commute of mixed city/highway it returns 22+ mpg. Towing my 10,000 lb camper it gets 14 mpg. It loves to do work.... the more you work it, the more it shines. There are NO cons to a Cummins, admit it.

[@dennisjd63]

Your gauge must be off. No body gets that mileage. Good luck

[@HalfCrazy520]

@@dennisjd63 -- I bought a 2017 GMC 3500HD Denali, Duramax/Allison. On the same commute I'm averaging 19.5 mpg with that... and it has 3.73 gears, not 3.42 like the Ram. It also puts more power to the tires (375 HP/868 Tq) than the Ram makes at the crankshaft (370 HP/800 Tq), so I tend to run it a little harder (because it's FUN). Both trucks 100% bone stock.

Mopar has coupons on their website for oil changes and more . for gas and diesel trucks. On a gas truck you can pay no more then $60 and less then $200 on a diesel of course depending on the state you live in these prices are in california. Where everything is overpriced hahaha

[@GioMarshallK]

Love the truck brother she’s a beauty

[@EverydayMan]

Thanks, I appreciate you commenting!

[@jetdr]

Very informative video, actually made my mind up on getting one.

[@pedrolabrada5591]

I would recommend doing those oil changes every 7000 miles

[@BadazzShovelhead]

Great video my man- Shoot mine gets 13 mpg with the 6.7 might be the 8 inch lift 24 inch wheels. Mine is a Laramie Longhorn mega cab. I have had a lot of trucks this is by far my favorite in a big way. I am right now in San Francisco Bay area so I also like it pisses liberals off with my NRA stickers, USMC stickers and just it being bigger than a prius or tesla. I am moving I bought a small ranch in Virginia (originally from Georgia) I split my time between London England and the US due to work. I run a global cyber intelligence team for big tech company so I travel a lot. Now that we are work from home 100% I can get out of the California bullshit and be around real folks. I have a 2020 AMG GTR and a G63 Brabus Widestar 800. Those around around 2K for full service and you can't do it yourself it is just too damned complicated for performance vehicle. The Mercedes AMG GTR with stage 3 and bigger turbos is around 760 HP on a car that is mostly carbon fiber and has a top end of around 210 now. I almost got it there going around the Laguna Seca track. The G63 Brabus is around 800 hp 760 tq. That thing will scare you. I love my Ram though. It just feels good. Anyhow great video man definitely subscribed. You think a lot like I do- I think

Only the owner likes to hear the horn blow Twice upon start up. ONLY and TWICE are the operative words. To Everyone else it's annoying and a sign of an aszhole narcissist. And Yes, it can be very easily muted leaving polite flashing parking lights as an indicator. But NOOOooooo... ☆

Lol that's cute!

[@tomwilson7806]

When I drive my 2014 Ram here in the states my LEFT arm would be on the window side!

[@EverydayMan]

For sure!

I’m ordering one from the local dealer tomorrow after after work and I cannot fckin go to sleep 😂😂

[@CorvetteStuff1]

I daily my 2019 Cummins.

[@brianaustin6184]

I have 6.7 powerstroke,have a 15l cummins in my KW. I use rotella T6,between oil and filter doing oil myself is about $90 with filter every 4th oil change I have to buy an extra gallon. Because it takes 13 qts: I get the fuel filter on Amazon to it’s like $58 I know folks that have paid $180 for fuel filter change! I couldn’t believe it.

[@zackzander425]

I like to use the John Deere Plus-50II 15W-40 in my Power Stroke. Great oil analysis reports.

[@J.R.in_WV]

Of course you can daily drive a 4 door truck on 4 wheel coil spring suspension that has literally every luxury feature you could get in the top of the line Cadillac 20 years ago and then some. We’ve gotten so spoiled with all this tech in trucks most lots don’t even stock regular cab work truck models any more, if it doesn’t have room to haul 3 generations of family in air conditioned comfort and have more power and torque than most class 8 semi trucks had not too long ago nobody wants it.

[@EverydayMan]

Yup

[@jeffreyburgher]

Great video! Just one question why is the steering wheel on the right side? The narrator certainly doesn't sound English?

I never wanted a HD truck and really never considered a diesel. It was time for me to get a new vehicle and I was looking heavily at the Tundras. I was requested by a family member to purchase their 2018 2500 6.7 because they were in a tight spot etc. Reluctantly I did so, didn’t want to but financially it made sense and I’ve never really cared what vehicle I drove. Now I will NEVER buy another gas engine. I’ve put 30,000 miles on it in 6 months. I have a 26’ camper and 24’ bay boat that I towed everywhere with my Jeep Wrangler. Always kept it at 60 mph and took it easy and was comfortable doing so. I have to admit surprisingly to me, I think that 6.7 actually tows better than my Jeep! Ha! True story, I had to take the bay boat for work and it’s about a 5-6 hour round trip which we’ve done several times in the past with my Jeep. This last time we used the Ram and my buddy looked at me and said “I really think this is the first time we’ve done this and could talk to each other without yelling, and the fist time we’ve gone the speed limit! I also agree, maintenance isn’t that bad. The truck stands so tall you basically just walk under it to work on it haha. I attempted the fuel filters myself just for fun and cost savings. It was super easy, and same with oil changes. Super easy and diy makes it incredibly affordable.

[@EverydayMan]

Awsome ride for sure!Dr. I just pulled two side by side's 4000 miles from Louisiana to Utah. No issues!!

[@formerice]

1 thing you might think of, get a bulk tank, if you have a place at your property. I have a Ram Ecodiesel, btw. 2 micron filter on my bulk tank and no worries about water. 28-32 mpg with the 4x4 CC Ecodiesel, tuned and deleted.

[@donaldmoncure]

I daily drive a Ram 3500 Cummins after owning a 1500 and 2500 Hemi. It's a bear to drive in the city, so I do my running in the suburbs. With a Pedal Commander and a Bully Dog, I average about 16 MPG without our 37 foot 5th wheel and around 11 MPG when I'm pulling the 5th wheel. And by the way Everyday Man...you sound just like Dusty Rhodes!

[@EverydayMan]

Lol Thanks for watching!

[@Cr9mson]

How hard was it to install those AMP running boards, I’m looking to get some on my fathers truck

It was a 3 out of 5 probably in hardness. It took some time.
