One thing that this article overlooks, in my opinion, is the average discount from MSRP. If Ram depreciates 49% over the first 5 years but the average purchase price is say 20% off MSRP, shouldn't the depreciation reflect that...
If he's seriously considering Toyota they are coming out with an all-new totally redesigned truck this year. Considering that hasn't happened since 2007, that could be worth waiting for.
Yes, and I wish car reviewers would take this into account when comparing American vs foreign vehicles. American MSRPs are all about anchoring and gimmicks. Getting 10 to 25% off should be expected.
The fewer options you get on any truck, but especially a Ram, the fewer parts you will have to break. I love Toyota's because of their reliability and resale value. But for the Tundra, you will be paying more for a comparably equipped truck and your fuel economy will be even more expensive than...
I agree that 3k compared to the total cost of the truck is minor, but for me, it all adds up. For my monthly payment 3k is more like 50 to 60 bucks a month and when you add in fuel savings and reduced maintenance, it's something I'm willing to exclude so I can spend that money somewhere else. I...
I currently have a 2wd Ram in Cleveland, Ohio and glad I have it. This truck stretched my budget enough and I enjoy the lower payment, better MPG, reduced maintenance and higher payload.
I have a short drive to work on main roads the are quickly plowed and I find that 2wd is just fine for me...
I think the warranty difference between Linex and the factory spray-on is all that you need to know about long term durability. I would love for the cost of spray-on liners to be brought down be being standard on all trucks, similar to having rear wheel well liners as standard.
I would like to limit MDS by speed, for example, it can't activate until above 40 mph. It does not bother me at all on the highway but drives me nuts between 30 - 40 when it drones and lugs.
If you live in a populated area you will have no shortage of people begging to trade for your mirrors. I met someone local and we did the switch in a parking lot in well under an hour. I'm not a mechanic and it was easy.
All of the plugs from the standard/heating mirrors attached to my truck...
I did this on my first 5th gen. I had the towing mirrors and wanted the regular ones. (I think this is what you're asking?)
It was extremely easy to find someone willing to trade regular mirrors for my towing ones.
The problems I ran into are the regular mirrors are heated, but the heating...
If you have a trade-in there may be tax benefits to buying new. That's the case where I live and it's an added incentive that doesn't cost the dealership anything.
