Hello,

I have been looking at pick-ups for a few weeks now, and have found a few that I am going to look at a few Rams this weekend. A couple are around an '05 1500 QC 5.7 4x4 70k-100k miles 10k-15k in price. I have also come across a '11 QC 5.7 2x4 123k miles and 15k price. I live in NE Ohio, but within city limits where 4x4 is not required. I also would not be off-roading with a need for a 4x4. Whichever I purchase would be a DD and I only average 8 miles a day M-F and not many miles during the weekend.

What do you all think about the '11? I know the obvious benefits, but am looking for opinions from people with hands-on experience with these vehicles.

I would say it's probably about the same either way...in my opinion it would come down to your personal preference on whether or not you want the amenities of the newer truck. I love my 2013.

Welcome!!
Go over both closely or even keep hunting around. Keep all your options open. Ohio is a big state, probably a lot of Rams out there for sale.....
