I had a 2004 1500 SLT 4.7 auto hit 285,000 before it gave up the ghost. Would buy again.
ram trucks arent cheap, the fact is f150s are overpriced by about $10k for similar features. F150 is one of the few vehicles in the world where you can approach msrp of $50k and still not get leather seats. In fact ive seen XLTs for over $50k.
only way the avg joe can buy these trucks is with 72mo financing and a trade in. The median individual income in this country is less than $40k per year. Its incredible that ford is able to sell as many trucks as they do.
i personally prefer the f150 but ram Laramie is nothing to sneeze at. These are nice capable trucks.
I just looked at the RAMs on the local dealer website. Holy crap. Configured like I want, new for $8-10K less than most of what's available in the way of Fords.
I may not end up with one, but I guess it would be stupid to not at least go look.
Need to be sure I'm comparing apples to apples.
lolAnd you probably paid half that.
Yeah, I needed a 4x4 vehicle for work, and a base model F-150 with 4x4 and the 2.7 EB with no options was like 35K ... i got a fully loaded Z71 v6 Colorado for 33k instead (would have liked a Ranger, may check them out). I would have liked the larger truck, but the F-150 and Silverado are just ridiculously expensive - as nice as they may be.
What are you waiting for Ash?? lolI just found not one, but two new 2017 RAM Express, Crew cab, 4x4, Hemi, good color, chrome 20's, just five miles down the road from me. Everything I need and nothing I don't.
Back up camera, check. Little else I want other than what is already listed above.
What's weird is the two MSRP for $43605, same color with identical options, and sequential VINs.
They're asking $33,576 for one, and $31,605 for the other. Must be miles on the second one.

Are the Canyons more than the colorados? No Canyon I found could be had fully loaded for less than 35-36
Yes, there were some year end rebates as well, MSRP was about $42 (v6, z71, 4x4, etc), which is way too much for even a mid size truck.
Could you be thinking of the Quad cab? Which I saw yesterday and it is indeed small.Pay attention to the space in the cab, I have not been in the newest version of a ram, and this might have changed, but my old dodge crew cab was not as big as a crew cab on a ford, it was more like a supercab but with normal opening doors.
That's fair. Until yesterday I didn't know the difference in the Quad cab till I saw the truck pictured above. It really has no room to have such a "normal" looking rear door,I am. I didn’t know they made a crew cab.
Also the quad cab for the 4th gen trucks(current gen) are smaller than the quad cabs that were offered in the 3rd gen trucks.^^
Correct. Dodge makes 2 different 4 door trucks.
Quad cab has smaller doors and less leg room.
Crew cab has full size doors and more legroom.
At a glance those who don't know this won't notice. Put them side by side and you can easily tell.
Hey old man, my .02: rent a Ram for a week before you buy. If you still like it, done deal. Still have questions, rent an F150 for a week. I've driven both...for a week. Was more than enough time to make a decision.So, I've been looking at 2017 Ford XLTs and Lariats in 4x4, Supercrew, 5.0. Price range around $35 to right under $40K. Mileage 3000-17,000.
A friend with a small used car lot just got in a 2015 Ram ST Express, Quad cab 4x4 Hemi with 27k miles, and asking $25K. Same gas mileage and performance as the 5.0 best I can tell.
I bought my last truck there and I trust the guy. Seems like a lot of truck for the money. A little less leg room front and back and I need to go look at it. He refurbs anything that needs attention. It's the right color, too.
I've never been a Dodge guy except for their hot rods, and never owned one. Why are the trucks so cheap?
My man!I posted a link to the 2019s.
Might be my next ride after I unass the bmw. Who needs a 500 hp convertible that has girls flashing their boobs at me when I drive by or are clogging my grill with nasty panty tosses at highway speeds.?
I am too old for having to wade through a bunch of bitches' vag slime as they surround my car at the beach! Any idea what that feels like when you wear flip flops and walk thru the sand? Dee skusting

What kind of towing/hauling, and what kind of mileage do you ya'll put on them?Nope, we tried them at work. Now have a fleet of Ford pickups.
I personally would spend the extra $.
