2012 3500 srw Laramie 6 speed manual. I bought the truck new, drove to Missouri to get it. Deleted it at 5k miles, 67k now. Truck has H&S mini maxx, 5” exhaust, afe intake, led light bar in grille. Love the truck, the only thing I think I would change is it doesn’t have rear heated seats, which would be nice.
I know rams aren’t that popular, but my first diesel was a 96 12valve Cummins and I put that thing through hell. Big injectors, big turbo, suspension stops and 1000lbs hanging in front sled pulls most weekends during the summer at the local fairs, 2000* egts and it never let me down.
2016 Ram 3500 6.7 with 21,100 miles

2016 Cummins. Bought new, now at 92k miles.
Only thing I don’t like is it eats tires. Chinese tires last 8-10k, expensive tires (toyo, nitto, etc) last about 15k.
And that snow- 3 seasons ago when we (Sierras) supposedly had the deepest snowpack in the US.

What the heck!! What are you alignment specs? Worn out steering components? I have over 40k on my toyo a/t's and expect 20-30 more, I know others that have done this also. What's going on up front on yours?

It eats them on all 4 corners. I’ve had it aligned 4x now (last being about a month ago) and everytime it’s been right in spec. I’ve also gone to different alignment shops every time.
And nothing worn out, I bought the truck brand new off the lot. The stock Firestone tires were showing wires at 9000 miles, front & back.
Could be a combo of where I live & the big torque on these newer diesels. I’m up on the mountain so all our roads are windy & old. However my last truck was an 05 Cummins and I put probably 30k miles on those tires when I sold it & they were still 1/2 tread.
I’ve also brought the truck into the dealer twice to have the front end looked at, as well as 3 other private shops trying to get different eyes on it & nobody has found anything wrong.
Pre DEF, correct?
2012, 3500 Laramie. Fully loaded with all available options except bed rails and ram box. Ordered it in 2012. Only 67000km on it.

That'll be an easy one to sell when you choose to.
Yes it is pre def and its not deleted.
It was a late 2012 build, I ordered it in May of 2012. Its a rare truck, most crew cabs do not have the rear DVD, dual transmission coolers etc. it stickered in higher than a dealer lot build limited longhorn.
Those trucks look impressive. My Ram 3500 dually is currently in a work in progress state. I have a new set of dually wheels for it to be installed later this week. The previous wheels had a corrosion problem caused by salt last winter. It's not beyond repair but I've decided to get new wheels just for the style upgrade.
