Hi everyone, glad to be part of RF, I’ve been snooping a few weeks now. Here’s my short story....
I’ve owned many pickups over the years from Dakota, ram, f-150, ranger, Subaru brat (original model) and Mazda. In 2017 I bought a new loaded Laramie, drove it for over 2 years and 50k miles. While I liked the truck, I decided to trade it in on a Honda Ridgeline to see what all the hype was about. I drove it for 3 months and while I liked it at first, I grew to hate it within 2 months. My best bud got a new 2020 Ram and all I could think about was why the h*ll I traded mine in. So, I called my friend at the Honda dealer and asked him what to do. He set me up with a fairly local Ram dealer where he is good friends with the sales manager. I made a visit and they had a new Ram I liked, gave me a great trade value on the Honda and a pretty darn good price on the Ram, no negotiating. Picked it up a few days later. It’s been a few weeks now and I’m really happy to be back in a Ram. I describe it like this - it feels like I came back home after being on a crappy vacation. Ever have one of those?
P.S. - any recommendations for purchasing an extended warranty? The one the dealer offered didn’t impress me (3rd party).
