50k even seems like a long time to me. Is there a link somewhere on here for service intervals for our 1500s?

What is the weak link in these trucks? I'm pretty confident the motor will last however long I choose to own the vehicle for ( unless I'm unfortunate enough to have the cam/lifter failure). What about these ZF transmissions? I know they're supposedly service free which I don't believe in but...

Thank you for the reply. Yes I think you're right I'm in the 7500-8k range max tow with the 3.21 rear and I think around 1800lb payload. Like I said truck handles what I throw at it.

This is what I was thinking. I'm hoping that I'm overthinking the situation I'm in and that half tons have come quite a long way and should be able to perform for quite awhile. I don't beat on my tools/equipment , but the truck does get put to use. Currently I'm only at around 8500 miles. I...

If I were to get a 2500 it would be more of me just wanting one vs it being necessary for what I do. Only benefit I could see is that it may hold up better down the road if I were to hold onto it where as the 1500 may fall apart quicker. Not sure I'm willing to give up the comfortable ride and...

Hey guys, I'm on my 4th Ram since 2014 with the hemi. Love these trucks. They have all served me well. Currently have 2022 1500 5.7 quad cab bighorn 4x4 w/3.21 rear. Thinking of holding onto this one since the hemi will soon no longer be available. This truck is my everything vehicle. Daily...
