I'm looking to get a truck for my son. He wants a ram. What do I need to worry about with this Gen Ram? Are there issues with the trans, motor, anything that I may have to deal with if I get him a used one, or with high mileage?

Used vehicle, NOT too many miles, and a solid record of proper and timely maintenance a MUST, IMHO... Since U R in Arizona, as long as a SW vehicle, hopefully no weather/rust related issues.With the 1500s transmissions are pretty much solid, not many problems with them.
The Hemi still suffers issues with failed lifters/cams and exhaust manifolds, probably the biggest complaints.
The 3.6 not sure if the oil filter/cooler assembly has been updated but some like to spring leaks.
Longevity of the eTorque system is yet to be determined but haven't seen many failures being brought up on the forum.
Finding a vehicle that was decently maintained should be a good used vehicle.

Aren't you the founder of the forum? Figure you would know the most about rams or am I missing something?I'm looking to get a truck for my son. He wants a ram.
