How Many Miles On Your 2025+ Diesel?

Any issues pop up along the way??

Rowdy,
Excellent question.... My 2025 has 9,750 miles on it---the ONLY issue I have had is the "erratic DEF gauge"--meaning it does not read correctly all the time--I am still working with dealer to fix this.
Otherwise, the truck is GREAT. This is my 5th Ram in a row--by far the most "refined" of any Ram I have owned. Very little turbo lag, VERY little dead pedal, amazing torque when you lay the hammer down, excellent exhaust break, very smooth Transmission shifting--shifts are very consistent, Ride and handling very smooth, engine is quiet, but you can still hear the diesel grunt. I pulled my 6500LB (I know this is not much weight for this truck) 22-foot Travel Trailer on a 2-week 3800-mile trip to Grand Canyon, AZ last year--it performed like a Champ towing-- I truly "enjoyed" driving it.
 
I am at 9k and my only issue is the driver seat leather others have commented on. Hard to explain its like stretched from sitting on it and when your out it kinda pillows up away from the seat making it look like bubbled leather. I have an appointment next week for one of the recalls I'm going to bring it up and see what the dealer recommends.

I’m viewing on a phone. I just realized signatures don’t show until you turn the phone sideways.

I was hoping you wouldn’t say Limited. I’m not interested in a Laramie.

Quick FACT that relates to this topic:
I know for a fact that the 2025 Ram's hit James Oneal Dodge in Breman, GA on about March 10, 2025--this is a big Ram dealer in GA that sells a LOT of HD Rams.
Since they hit the ground exactly about 1 year ago tomorrow--there should be some higher mileage trucks out there.
Any 2025 Hot Shot guys watching this thread? How is the 2025 performing/holding up?
 
2025 ram 2500 Laramie Cummins bought in December
6,215 had service codes since around 200 miles and now been in dealership service for recalls O3D, C3C and B4C since march 20th.
Also pulls to the right and dealership said they can't replicate it.

Pretty frustrated about it.

Issues started right around the 7k mark. One day working good the next the issues started.
Hard shift from 2-3 and 4-5, this would send fault codes to and go into limp mode. I could turn the truck off and they would clear. Transmission seemed to like to operate above 90F.
Took it in a couple times for diagnosis. Did the usual relearn and TSB updates, but nothing worked. Then they checked the fluid level, showed too high but IMO they were wrong as I had run the truck at full operating temp when they checked it. According to TSB it should be checked between specific temp settings. So I feel they ended up taking too much out.
They felt my lift was affecting it (I had documents from the company about it all for reference). I offered to rip it out if this would help but ended up not doing this. I showed them several trucks on the lot with lifts and why would they sell if it caused an issue. Then it was brought up that I park on a sloped driveway, again more BS. So I did my own experiments, aka parked level overnight, nose up, nose down...I asked so I can't drive or park anywhere with an incline?
Then Ram Cares said I need a new valve body but they were back ordered 2-4 months but it came in a month later, guess what it didn't work either.
The decision was made to put a new trans in but again 2-4 months...my dealers parts manager found a recon unit and got it two weeks later.

This all took place between 7k and 9.8k. Since then it's been running really good but I feel not as good as it did brand new. I have full warranty and extended service on the truck. In the back of my head I am kind paranoid about it but will drive it and see how it does.

The crap these dealers come up with just boggles my mind.

Stop parking on a sloped driveway!

Absolutely absurd.
