Positive ram story

[slacadjuster]

View attachment 171757 With all the negative I see on the forum I thought I would give a positive. In 2018 I bought a 2017 ram 1500 hemi 8 speed. Got sick so only put on 1000 in first year. This June I put on some more aggressive tires, hooked on a small trailer and ran to tuktoyaktuk in Canada on the artic ocean. 8000 km of which 2000 km was gravel/mud roads. Heavy rain and mud turned heavy enough to require 4x4 for a portion of the gravel. Mud gravel mix jammed in the rear wheels enough to rip the weights off. Truck was flawless the whole trip.

AWESOME!! And I don't really see a whole lot of negativity on the forum regarding these trucks.

I'm on my 2nd. Ram, (my first was a 2005, and now a 2015 that I bought brand new).

Both trucks, flawless reliability....and matter of fact, my 2005 Ram, after 160,000 miles was still on it's original Mopar battery, and exhaust.

Mopar or no car...or truck!!!!

Thats impressive for a 2005 to have the original Battery and exhaust-both of mine are still original but its a 2012-I thought I was doing well-maybe I am and I might get another 10yrs out of both. The factory exhaust always seem to last longer no matter what vehicle you buy.

Yes, very true on the exhaust part. Exhaust seems to last the longest. Though, stainless steel, so kinda makes sense.
