History:
Well today is 1 year ago I picked up my 2011 Ram 3500 CC Dually Laramie 4*4 with 4. 10 gears. After factory ordering it the Friday after Thanksgiving in 2010.
Some random thoughts:
Besides oil, fluid, and filter changes have only had to have the Satalite Radio replaced under warranty. It was changing the presets on me to (all to channel184) not a big deal.
Just turned over 20,000 miles over the weekend
My drive to the office is 6 miles each way. Ya ya I know but almost every weekend we are hauling either the slide in truck camper or one of our trailers with toys or all the above at the same time. Also every Sunday we are in town we haul the church trailer that weighs about 8,000 pounds (meet at a local highschool).
In the last year the truck has been on two trips to Las Vegas, taken me riding quads to Southern Utah, firewood hauling, and countless camping and riding quad trips around Oregon, WA, and ID.
Modifications: front leveling kit, incab adjustable airbags, incab adjustable Rancho Shocks, Torklift tie down system and Super Hitch. Rigid Dually rear backup lights, KC front bumper Lightbar and 4 8'' KC lights (2 HID, and 2 130 Watt ones). The original General Tires are wearing down but I expect to break 30K with them this coming spring and get new tires intime for next fall/winter. Might go to 19. 5 rim and tire combo.
Glad I went with 4. 10 gears and dually. This is my second diesel dually truck for toy hauling and my work commute vehicle.
Love the Sat Radio.
Mileage report:
With 5,000 pound camper on, about 10/11
No camper but my enclosed trailer with quads 10/11
Camper plus trailer equals 9 maybe low 10.
Running empty HWY miles trip at close to speed limit 14/15
Mileage is based on running just over the speed limit even the 75 in ID and UT.
Mileage seems to be getting a little bit better now.
Still love the truck!
