    Which engine for reliability?

    Looking at getting a used crew cab 4x4. I thought I knew what I wanted but keep changing my mind between RAM and F-150 all engines. ‍♂️ Found out I might be able to get a better deal if I go Ram due to a friend of a friend. lol Which engine would you choose for reliability? I won’t be towing...

    Looking to get back into a truck - Questions

    I had a 2012 F150 for a couple years then went to an SUV and currently a minivan. lol Looking at 2013 and newer. Any engines or year combos or features to stay away from? In particular, I found a 2015 Laramie 4x4 with around 50,000 miles with a Hemi and 6.5’ bed and air suspension. How...

    2013 vs 2012

    So, when looking for a used RAM, does the 2013 have enough advancements over the 2011/2012 to justify only looking at 2013 and newer trucks? Just curious what your opinions are. I know for sure with the V6, but if I'm looking at the Hemis? Thanks in advance.

    Here for the research

    Hello all. I'll try to make this short. Apparently I signed up here a few years ago. I love how Chrome remembers your info. lol So, I used to have a Yukon XL Denali and was researching for my dad. He didn't end up with a Ram, but yet another GM. In the mean time I bought a used F150 and really...

    New to RAM Need Help

    Well, the tech took it for a ride and it shifted fine for him. He said it was about a quart low, so he filled it up. I sure hope there's no more issues. I think I need to keep it for now. I don't want to buy something with a bunch of miles. I think I was jumping to conclusions.

    Ok. Just had major trans slippage/no 3rd gear in my Yukon this morning. It's at the shop getting diagnosed. I'm going to have to lower my standards of I need to truck shopping this weekend because I was planning on taxes and bonus this spring. Should I consider a 2008 with the 4.7L? Any thing I...

    New to RAM Need Help

    Thanks guys. I'd be coming from the 6.0 in my current vehicle but it's 14 years old soon so I'm guessing even the 4.7 would be plenty? I guess I'll have to test drive. It would just be for the fun factor anyway. Haha...

    Thanks for the info guys! I appreciate it. One other question... How is the 4.7 V8? Should I even consider or no? Just some info on my end. It would mostly be a daily driver. I probably would rarely tow. Nothing big. Just throw some stuff in the bed like helping someone move or dirt bikes, so...

    New to RAM Need Help

    I'm planning on getting a new truck in the spring and I'm trying to do some research. As my name indicates I'm coming from the GM side. I have a 2004 Yukon XL Denali with almost 270,000 and it's getting a little worn out and rusted out. I don't like the GM offerings out there so I'm between the...
