ditto for me! 15000 flawless miles. And I LOVE the megacab, actually my passengers like it more that me.

Truck for sale

Hi everyone,
I have a BEAUTIFUL, 07 Mega cab, 6.7L for sale right now. If you, or anyone you know is interested, go to www.autotrader.com and do the following:

1) www.autotrader.com
2) input Dodge and "zip" = 49660 ( my zip code in Michigan)
3) Choose: Ram 2500 Truck
4) Choose years = 2007 to 2007

That should bring you to a couple of options. Mine is the "Red/Burgendy" listed for $38,900 with 18,800 miles. The picture is in the snow with me stadning by the truck. This truck has been babied and is my "daily driver". I am very picky and I would rate this a "10+" on a scale of 1-10. There are some extra "goodies" on the truck that you can see in the pictures. All the information is in the ad. Should you have any questions, please call me, Jon @ (231) 723-7271.

Thank you...... Jon Radliff, Manistee, Michigan, 49660

07 Ram 3500 4x4 SLT 6.7CTD LWB DRW

Hello all, new to the site...after a lot of reading and finally moving up from the Hemi, I just bought a 2007 Ram 3500 4x4 SLT 6.7CTD LWB DRW w/6spd auto. Came with a good amount of option and the Thunder Road Package. Dodge dealer in Hickory, NC let it go for $36,500 and the MSRP was $48,125...I have never had a discount on any of my four previous Rams like this...my question is, how long will it take for the break-in period to see the MPG jump? I did not buy it for the MPG, but it seems to be a main subject. Anybody hauling a 5th wheel (42')?

never seen over 14 on paper with my 6.7 and its got 61'000 on it now and my 05 5.9 gets over 14 if i run it hard all day long with the juice on 5. running on milege mode like i usually do i get 17.5 to 18 and thats pulling 35-13.50's on 20s but its only got 38'000 on it. my stock 6.7 does pull better than a 5.9 stock 07 dually and the fuel mileage isnt any different towing the same load( borrowed a friends 5.9 cuz my 6.7 was in the shop for the 8th time in one year) but it is if your just driving. he gets a steady 19

Just returned from a 500 mile unloaded RT to Tucson and saw 19.1 mpg on the overhead.

Discounting that to say 18 mpg is pretty darn good for a new truck with bigger displacement and emissions.

I have an 07 6.7 i bought may 1, 2007. not counting the recalls, I only had one problem with my cel and it was a sensor in the dpf. I live in Alaska, and it has been as cold as negative 55 this winter, and only complaint from the truck is the six flat spots in my tires at that temp, otherwise it has been great through cold, hot towing and normal driving. 12700 miles now
