Howdy all:
i currently have a 2012 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman 5.7 4x4, bought with 7 miles on her, i now have 180000, other than a new motor at 150000 she has been rock solid, but starting to show her age.
i have just retired and wife is wanting me to get my last truck, so on a 2020 or newer im wanting info on what ppl think of the crewcab 4x4 with the 3.6 as a mostly hiway truck, and on the 3.0 ecodiesel? We are not camper ppl so i doubt the truck will ever pull anything more than a 6x12 uhaul maybe a cpl times total, i do run to eastern ok once a year to pickup a load of firewood arpox 1200 pounds.
My only hesitation on the 5.7 is the cam/lifter problem i had in mine, but now im typing this if i only drive 10k a year i have 12-15 years before i worry about it
i still would like to know the gen thoughts on the 3.6 and the 3.0 diesel, "the diesel is simply a fuel milage idea"
and on the air ride is that a big step up? my 12 is still pretty comfy
thanks all
Troy
