Ram Owner by chance

[RamSATX]

Some crazy circumstances led me to a Ram. I was involved in an accident where I was rear ended by a Jeep in my 2019 Tundra, my son and I made it out scratch free. The truck? Not so much. Fast forward 3 weeks, the tundra was declared a total loss. (Damn I loved that truck, despite the terrible interior) As I began to search for my new vehicle, I started with Ram and that's where I ended. First test drive and what a difference! Ram interiors are plush! Went home after the test drive, I was still waiting for the final loss to be declared at the time but I knew if the Tundra was totaled, Ram is where I was going.

Started out by reaching out to a few dealers, getting price quotes and pitting them against each other. Ya know, the not so fun part of car buying. I usually don't do that, but I wanted to make sure I got the absolute BEST deal considering the climate the automotive industry is currently enduring. Finally settled on a small town CDRJ and purchased a new Bright White 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 ETorque w/ the Southwest Package.

Day I brought it home - Late April

So far I’ve put about 2k miles on the truck with lift. I can honestly say it pretty damn close to stock. The only thing that makes it somewhat rough is the 35” tires. That was to be expected though.

I definitely recommend
