Possible new (used) Ram owner

Hello all!
Signing up for the forum to get more info on rams before I pull the trigger. A little backstory.
I’ve owned 2 (new at the time) dodge dakotas.
Had a 2004 Regular Cab ST manual RWD V6 (cost me $12k out the door brand new ). Then got a 2008 Dakota V8 regular cab 4WD Manual. I wish I still had either of them.
Since then I’ve had a variety of cars including Mustangs, a Jeep and a Corvette. I currently drive a 2017 Shelby GT350. I’m obviously not into brand loyalty. I like what I like.
We are currently looking at buying a pick up as a 3rd car (my wife drives a 2021 Explorer ST) just for errands and hauling things to the dump etc.
I’m looking at used 2014+ regular cab V8s. I’ve found a few and am currently looking at a 2016 with 70k miles. Most of my questions revolve around the reliability and if I should look into a 3rd party warranty. My budget is around 20k. The truck will probably see 3k miles a year tops. Anyway, I’ll post my specific questions in the right area. Just wanted to introduce myself. Any advice is always much appreciated.
Thanks!
Pete

Welcome and good luck with your search.

Used anything during this period of time is crazy right now on pricing.

Very true! We are in no huge rush but the itch is strong! I appreciate it.

Welcome; good folks here and I recommend watching a lot of YouTube to help quench the thirst until you find your truck. It helped me a lot when waiting for my truck to arrive.

Well I finally pulled the trigger and picked the truck up on Sunday. Runs and drives perfectly and looks basically brand new. Thanks for all the welcomes. I’ll be doing some more research now starting with seeing if I can add a back up camera. Here’s a pic for now.
