    What do you love and hate about your long bed?

    That size bed would prob be best for my needs, but man it's nearly impossible to find a '19 or newer Hemi with low miles. Very frustrating.

    Good way to think about it, thanks. Right there with you about door dings.

    What do you love and hate about your long bed?

    Thanks to some awesome folks on this site that are helping me think through a truck purchase, I'm looking closer at a 2019 Tradesman 2500 LB. I'm a 9-5er who would use the truck for pulling a travel trailer and hauling mountain bikes (I keep them locked in the bed with a shell when I'm at...

    2018 Laramie vs. 2019 Tradesman--which do you like and why?

    Funny you mentioned....half of the screen has separated on the '18. Works fine, but very annoying to look at.

    2018 Laramie vs. 2019 Tradesman--which do you like and why?

    Yes, they matter, but the truck prob won't get driven much in the cold months. Great idea about using savings toward aftermarket items.

    2018 Laramie vs. 2019 Tradesman--which do you like and why?

    That helps, thanks. I don't understand how Ram adds packages or features, so I wasn't sure how loaded the '19 was, but the cameras and blind spot sensors seemed like it wasn't usually found on your average Tradesman.

    Great points. I'll tow a 5500lb travel trailer mostly. Thank you!

    2018 Laramie vs. 2019 Tradesman--which do you like and why?

    No. The '18 is reserved for me at Carmax. I'm not familiar with Truecar

    2018 Laramie vs. 2019 Tradesman--which do you like and why?

    Thanks. Agreed. My wife would like the bells and whistles on the Laramie, but the lower miles would help sway her.

    2018 Laramie vs. 2019 Tradesman--which do you like and why?

    I'm looking closely at 2 Rams right now. I haven't owned a newer Ram, so I appreciate feedback from this community. #1 is an '18 Laramie shortbox w/ 65K miles for $45K. The other is a '19 Tradesman long bed with 27k miles for $42. Both are white and sold by dealers. Both are very clean...

    First time Ram buyer--6 vs. 8 speed? Other things to consider?

    Mostly Autotrader, Carmax and dealership websites, mostly within about 500 mile radius in Northern California. The big truck dealers in Idaho, Oregon, and Texas seem to not have many in stock either. If you know of another source, I'm all ears!

    First time Ram buyer--6 vs. 8 speed? Other things to consider?

    Thank you. Family members have heavier trailers that I'll pull on occasion. I've always liked the towing options that 3/4 tons offer.

    First time Ram buyer--6 vs. 8 speed? Other things to consider?

    3.73 axle ratio. I'll be pulling a 25' travel trailer--about 5200 lbs. Is 3.73 pretty standard on these trucks? I'll just be using it for 200-300 mile weekend trips but I am also thinking about sellability in the future.

    First time Ram buyer--6 vs. 8 speed? Other things to consider?

    Are you saying that informed buyers are avoiding the 6-speeds? From my research it looks like both tranny's have been offered in 2500s since 2013. Is the 6-speed considered an overall lower quality transmission?

    First time Ram buyer--6 vs. 8 speed? Other things to consider?

    I see quite a few of them, but they are ALL prior rentals. If private owners are selling or trading them, I don't know where they are.

    First time Ram buyer--6 vs. 8 speed? Other things to consider?

    Hi all. I'm eyeing a 2018 Laramie 2500 Hemi with the 66RFE. I'm a total rookie when it comes to Rams, and the Hemi 6.4 seem very hard to find right now, so I'm trying to learn fast so I can act. It has 3.73 axle ratio and I'll be using the truck primarily for weekend trips pulling a 5000 lb...

    I'm New to Rams. Pls tell me your thoughts on this truck...

    I'm looking at a '19 2500 Bighorn crewcab Hemi with 53K miles priced at $44K. The price is high but it will have warranty and nice shell. Please tell me about these trucks in general. What are some must-do's to keep them well-maintained or just any other considerations? This truck has an...
