What was wrong with the emissions system? I got an extended warranty up to 100k bumper to bumper, so should be good to go for 5+ years. I will also gauge the future from the past experience on the truck. So far so good - but it is still a puppy at 10k miles. Only repair needed was the tailgate handle which arrived broken from the factory ...

Something with the particle burner. Engine light came on a few times and went into limb mode. Remember this is a first generation half ton diesel. Was one of the first coming of the production line early 2014. Pretty sure they learned a lot and improved the 2015. Again, not saying it's a bad truck at all, just would like to avoid expensive repairs on the tow rig.
Thanks for the info. That's some great advise. Second the Fords. We had a 2006 for 3 years, and a 2009 at the shop we just sold. Not good trucks.
For the F350 Ford's 2012 lots of them for sale but most oil rig beaters. Have to be very careful.
Aigel, did a quick write up on the RAM here:
