Hello, just drove my 1 owner 2015 Ram Laramie Longhorn addition home after 2 weeks of test drives and searching. Was not even considering a Ram as a long time Chevy owner but the new Rams are amazing.

Anyway was curious how I made out after 2 days of haggling.

24,000 miles 5.7 Hemi
Certified Pre Owned with 7/100
4x4 with 4 corner air
Amazing longhorn saddle brown interior
I think it has every option available, heated cooled seats, nav, ram box, bed liner and extension, bed cover, etc.

Dealer wanted 46k but the Black Friday discounts on new ones gave me leverage. Dealer dropped to 42, I offered 39... Two days later we settled at 40,200 but I did get the lifetime warranty and resistall treatment for 2875.00.

The only I'm not sure of is what drive axle I got 3.21, 3.55 or 3.92. I will be doing a 7.5 mopar lift (to keep warranty) so drive ratio matters.

Anyway did I do ok? Looking forward to contributing to forum.

Since it has air suspension, there is only one lift available at this time. It is a BDS lift. It's 4" I believe. You'll love the truck though. I love mine

the gear ratio can be found on either axle, front or back. It's a white sticker with the details on it. The front is a little more protected and is usually more legible.

I tried to edit my first post but the site kept unlogging me.

And at 90 mph

2000 rpm -3.21



:)



3.92s are 75mph @ 2000 RPMs.

3.21s sure are tall if 90 is at 2k RPMs
I remember my old G8 GT had 2.92s in its 6speed. Had same cruising RPMs
