    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    Nothing wrong with a 6 Pentastar except lack of sound and pleasure you get when romping it a little...THOSE DAYS ARE GONE...but i'm 70 i'll be able to buy a good USED truck if/when I want as long as i'll live. hell I got a 2011 Ford lariat ext cab at home in IL with 196000 miles and a good 5.0...

    Why should I stay with RAM?

    I wouldnt go with that 10 speed Ford. maybe step down for a lo mi 6 speed. Ford vs ram same truck same money POSSIBLY Ford RAM has the discounts at least 10K BACK of a Ford Ram wins unless you dont care about cost Then there's the possible trannie issue if you insist on buying new Me i'd head to...

    Thinking of making the switch to 2500 6.4

    Don't buy a 2500 6 speed or a worn out hi mile POS trying to stay under 25K is all I'll say. Or spend 25K on a worthless used up one and another 15K once it goes in the shop (and odds are it likely WILL). I would think you could land a good 3500 8 speed for around 40K. (being realistic) Me it'd...

    can we give the V6 some love???

    Pentastar a good engine...keep it simple no mods. Actually saw a 23 Tradesman 1500 Classic Crew Cab v6 4x4 with the chrome kit big radio towing and 20" chrome wheels looked same as a Big Horn albeit the Hemi brand new selling 52K MSRP for 42144 and change down in FL..good entry price on a full...

    It Was a Good Run, But I'm Done

    Myself, I think you have to have a truck around just in case...now do you need a 30-40000 CCSB 4x4 ram? Probably not...but at least a single cab Pentastar 6 would work nicely and probably be under 15...dive the PISSat and use truck when you need...me I got a rusty 2011 lariat Supercab for 9K and...

    Which engine for reliability?

    I have always been about the simpler the better on stuff. That being said, I needed a good used truck for the illinois home. (The Big "D" is down in fl and we gave up driving back and forth...we just take a 3 hr flight now and be done with it.) So, as to ram, I still like the 5.7, have had that...

    Avoid Cooper Tires Especially Discoverer at3

    I've got a set of zeons on our Crossfire and they are fine. But on the big ram, forget it. The Discover makes a ton of noise I'll keep runnin Wrangler and when they wear out then some Dueler A/Ts

    EcoDiesel Discontinued.

    I see the need for an ecodiesel but personally dont drive or haul anything so for me that wouldnt be an option, if I WERE considering a diesel I would move to the Cummins turbo diesel in the 3/4 ton. I like and have always liked the hemi, dont know nor will live long enough to care about...

    My Ram 1500 is the worst vehicle Ive purchased. (Power steering)

    This is what is happening when used prices are so high buyers are resorting to buying older units with hi mileage. Also, I dont think 2015 was the best year for these either. You will NOT win buying OPs problem vehicles like this. Either keep what you have, or better yet buy new. yes it'll cost...
