    Considering moving to Ram from Tundra

    I’ll check out the dealer mentioned in Atlanta - yes I am here in Triad. Will be in Atlanta though end of next month - might be potential to make a deal and drive back.

    Considering moving to Ram from Tundra

    Funny you mention the dealer in Mt Airy - I actually stopped up there last year as one of the first Toyota dealers I talked to. Had an appointment to meet a sales person - walked in and he was “wrapping up a sale” - no worries, take your time and I’ll see what you got on the lot now (this was...

    Considering moving to Ram from Tundra

    I’ll check out a 2500 Cost - yea, their pricey - but it’s Monopoly money anyway. I paid 16k for my 2012 in 2012, sold for 12,500 in 2021. Bought my 2018 in 2020 for 25k - sold 2021 for 42k - that’s just vehicle pricing this year. I figure I’m “up” 22-25k in what I SHOULdD have lost but...

    Considering moving to Ram from Tundra

    Understood - every brand has bad dealers and can have flaws. That’s just part of buying something mechanical. I have no issue with these facts - expecting perfection across the board will only lead to disappointment. My issue is how corporate responded - I’ve owned just about every brand and...

    Considering moving to Ram from Tundra

    Ok - thanks for feedback. So a few things: first and potentially most importantly- the warranty voiding issue is supposed to be in process of resolution. New dealer service talked with corporate about it - told them they had bad info and in short picked up where I left off with Toyota in...

    Considering moving to Ram from Tundra

    Ok - so here is my dilemma - purchased a 2021 Tundra Pro in June after much debate. Ultimately- the Tundra won out over Ram based on a few points - first was simply availability and price - the Tundra I could have at sticker (55k) and finding another at the price point was unlikely. The...

    Need help deciding - Longhorn 10th anniversary 1500 or Laramie 2500

    So in the market for new truck - and I think Ram is the winner. I'm split though on going with the more feature laden 1500 or going for more capacity with the 2500. Both are in same range price wise...spec wise all I would add to the Longhorn is sunroof and the V8. To the 2500 - would opt...

    spare tire tool set.

    Call local auto recycler or have a body shop call. Tell them what you need - set should set you back about 20-30 bucks.

    Extended Warranty

    FYI if your buying new or have in the last year. Look into GEICO mechanical breakdown coverage. Its pretty restrictive - has to be new purchase, never titled and under 1 year/12k...picks up after maker warranty runs out and will cover up to 7 year/100k I believe. BUT cost is like $40 a half...

    Buying used; Ram Rebel or Tundra SR5?

    Ok, just an update. Went to Toyota dealer yesterday (way I was leaning) to discuss my trade/take another look at the Tundra I initially liked (based on price/options). Between the over pushing, the lowball trade tactic (offered less than Carmax...thats low) and just the thought U would be...

    Buying used; Ram Rebel or Tundra SR5?

    Being honest - I am NOT brand loyal. Looked at Ford, just didnt do it for me. Have a Chevy...wouldnt buy a new one, they feel like a poor mans GMC Nissan not even considered. Ram I like the Rebel for what it is. Its not a true off roader...but looks enough like one in the parking lot of...

    Buying used; Ram Rebel or Tundra SR5?

    So I posed the question over at Tundras.com and I will give equal time to the Ram side of things. Shopping for used and my choices are down to either 2018 Tundra SR5 or 2019 Ram Rebel. At the price point (31k) - I'm finding several Tundra double cabs and a few Rebel (mostly rental turn ins it...
