2019 Ram 2500 — 6.7L Diesel

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 2500 6.7L Diesel.

Engine 6.7L Diesel

The 2019 Ram 2500, riding on the DJ platform and powered by the 6.7L diesel engine, recorded 189 total owner complaints—a figure that places it well below the model’s peak of 2,498 complaints in 2018, though its 12 recalls and a top complaint area of the fuel/propulsion system indicate persistent issues. Within the 2009–2021 complaint history, the 2019 model year sits between the low of 5 complaints in 2009 and the high of 2018, making it a middle-ground entry in the model’s reliability trajectory. For researchers, this year represents a notable drop in complaints from the preceding peak, yet the recall count and fuel-system focus suggest that while overall dissatisfaction decreased, specific mechanical concerns remained unresolved.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Federal data shows the 2019 Ram 2500 marks a steep correction from the prior model year, with complaints plunging to 189 after 2018 logged 2,498. Across this generation, complaint volume held in the low-to-mid hundreds from 2011 through 2016, spiked to 672 in 2017 and peaked dramatically in 2018, before collapsing in 2019 and continuing downward through 2021. With 12 recalls, the 2019 model sits in the middle of the generational recall range and aligns with the post-2018 return to normalcy, even as its 771 technical service bulletins represent the highest volume in the dataset. The top complaint categories—Fuel/Propulsion System, Structure, Power Train, and Fuel System, Diesel—each registered between 18 and 19 complaints, though the data does not specify underlying causes, alongside 8 crash and 9 fire complaints. Given the dramatic reduction in owner complaints relative to the 2017–2018 spike and recall activity holding steady, 2019 stands out as a comparatively attractive year to buy in this generation.
