The 2022 Ram 2500 has plenty of high-tech features, a stout towing capability, and one of the nicest interiors on the market for a heavy-duty truck. There are a couple of minor downsides, such as a suboptimal driving position and a noisy diesel engine. In the end, though, the Ram 2500 is one of our favorite trucks on the market, and we'd absolutely recommend a test drive.

2022 Ram 2500 Longhorn 4dr Crew Cab 4WD LB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)
I got the long horn 2500 with the diesel engine package and here are the issues.
1. The buckles on the back of the front seat pockets fell off.
2. There is an on going audio thumping due to the ANC system (active noise cancelation)
3. The tint on the front driver and passenger windows came with bubbles in it.
4. Silver wheel well screw that is not painted like the rest on both passenger … and driver side.
5. Uconnect system has tons of bugs. You will have to reset it frequently holding down the volume and the tune button for 20 seconds for a forced reboot.

2021 Ram 2500 Tradesman 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)
Currently only driven my brand new 2500 Tradesman Diesel for a day and a half, when it would not go into reverse then check engine light came on. Once I was finally able to find a dealer that wouldn't make me wait a week to bring it in, I found out it wasnt just the solenoid pack that was bad. Metal shards all through the transmission. Been waiting a week to get Ram to authorize a new … transmission and then at least another week to actually get it shipped. Will be close to an entire month before I get to drive it again. Really concerned with what else I am going to have to deal with now.
Stay away!!

2022 Ram 2500 Tradesman 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)
I have a 2022 Ram 2500. Truck has spent almost 5 months out of the last 11 months at the dealership. Truck now has 18,000 miles on it and has been back 7 times for the same issue. Low Boost keeps setting off the check engine light and dealership even says it should be bought back. Ram refuses to answer or return calls. Also was denied on buy back. So i guess i just make payments … and it sits at the dealership. I hope this helps others make their decision. Im stuck with a $70,000 boat anchor that won't run. In no way is this a reflection of the dealership they've been great. This is directed straight at Ram.

2022 Ram 2500 Limited 4dr Mega Cab 4WD SB (6.4L 8cyl 8A)
I custom order the truck in mid-February, 2022 and it didn't arrived at the dealership until late July. On the day I picked up the new truck, odometer already had 42mi on it. After completed all the paperwork and ready to leave the dealership, I discovered truck's front parking sensors didn't work.
10 days and 300mi of driving later, I noticed there were oil spots all over my driveway. … Looked underneath the truck and could visually see oil dripping from different area under the truck but couldn't see where the leak(s) came from. Took the truck back on 8/2/22 and was told that there were 3 different leaks, transmission, DEF line and shocks. It's been two weeks since dropping off the truck and it is still sitting in the Service dept waiting for parts and repairs to be done.
Completely frustrated and dissatisfied with the quality control and workmanship aspects with this truck manufacturer.
I'm hoping they can find a way to provide some kind of remedy for the troubles that I'm going through.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Ram 2500, so we've included reviews for other years of the 2500 since its last redesign.

Our experts like the 2500 models:
- Adaptive Forward Lighting System
- This available feature turns the LED headlights up to 15 degrees in the direction the driver steers to improve visibility at night.
- Digital Rearview Mirror with Tow Mode
- Uses a camera to show an unobstructed view of what's behind the truck on the rearview mirror display. When towing, the system uses a camera mounted to the trailer.
- Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
- Warns the driver when a collision might occur and, if the driver takes no action, applies the brakes to prevent or mitigate a crash.
