I think it is a great deal but I would get the extended warranty to help cover potential issues with the diesel. Plus the air suspension. I am not bashing the diesel but the underlying issue is that it has become very difficult to meet emissions standards with a diesel, and the complexity...
I found that all of the 5th gen Rams had a significantly better ride than the competition - F150, Silverado, Tundra. Not even close in fact. The Limited we drove (borrowed for several days) had improved ability to recover from multiple disturbances, but it was subtle, relative to the regular...
I did some informal research on Carmax. Adjusted for roughly the same equipment (I used pano roof as the filter to try to make sure we were comparing roughly equivalent well loaded trucks) and the limited trim does generally cost anywhere from 3-4k more than a comparable Laramie. There are...
I think discussions of resale based on trim and options are a bit hyped. Anyone with common sense who is looking for a used car and truck will largely make the decision on miles and condition (including service history) at a given price point. Yes, certain options may make a truck more or less...
Geoffrey's experience is not typical or Ram would sell zero trucks, but I believe what he is saying. I suspect his truck was perhaps damaged in shipping (partially flooded perhaps?) or intentionally sabotaged in some type of plant dispute. That being said, there is a lesson in that...
The Laramie with the Level 2 package has LED headlights and fog lights that automatically illuminate on turns/. I drove the Limited as well - both at night because we do a fair amount of driving where critters are present- and I couldn’t really tell any difference. The Limited headlights do...
I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie (5.7 etorque) with about 33k miles. Truck has been very reliable. I am generally of the "if ain't broke don't fix it" mindset but I am wondering if people recommend any fuel system conditions such as Techron, Seafoam, BGK, etc. I have not experienced any...
If the truck is not indicating an oil pressure issue with a warning light, and the oil pressure gauge is not indicating any issue, then you have no issue. From a comparison of other vehicles we have owned and still own, I can tell you that 33 psi at idle when the oil is hot is actually in the...
We have a Laramie with the Level 2 package. We also looked at the Limited and and the Longhorn. All gorgeous trucks but I didn’t want the air suspension because I tend to keep vehicles for 10 years plus and didn’t want to deal with the overhaul costs of an air suspension. I have dealt with it...
To be fair, as an attorney, I can tell you that you are correct but the problem is practical in the sense that people don't want to be placed under the burden of having to evidence that a vehicle was properly maintained because if you are a dealer customer, and an issue arises, unless something...
I did it myself this last time because I noticed that after an oil change with the 5w20 bulk oil the dealer was using, I would have the "Hemi tick" at start up for a second or two, only a few thousand miles (not even) after the oil change. Truck only has about 32k on the clock. I wasn't...
Sorry to be pointed, but this is a great example of why not to do this kind of thing. Probably the best thing about the Ram 1/2 ton is the ride quality and NVH, particularly for a truck. When you add aggressive tires, you are degrading the ride quality, increasing noise, decreasing the...
Above is all good advice.
I would reiterate: ask for service records. Any car or truck with any kind of mileage, even much lower mileage, is a pig in a poke without records.
Secondarily, I would also have the truck inspected by a good shop. This way to the extent there are issues coming up...
