Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum and looking for some advice! I am looking at buying two trucks and am having trouble deciding which one I should go with.

Here are the trucks:
Truck #1

2011 Ram Sport, White, 167000KM.
Quad cab 4x4. Truck is loaded with extras. Has factory remote start, touch screen cd player with alpine factory subwoofer, centre shifter, spray in box liner from factory, upgraded diffs from factory, 3:92s tow package with built in tow break. After market accessories are; tonneau cover, MBRP dual exhaust, throttle body spacer, K&N cold air in take, window vent visors, 6 inch Fabtech Suspension lift, brand new bilstien 6100 series front adjustable shocks, new upper ball joints (adjustable, life time warrentied) 35 inch procomp extreme terrain tires mounted on 20 inch mickey Thompson flat black rims, and dodge chrome mud flaps. Bull bar Original owner since brand new and always maintained. Does have a dent in the rear bumper and needs a mechanical which will be provided. Windshield and bushings will be replaced upon purchase. THE GOOD: $500 cheaper then other truck, original owner, lift time warranty on lift, trucks 2 years newer with new style hood THE BAD: tires only have a summer or two left on them, plus the truck does not come with winter tires. (Needed where I live) Small dent with rust on rear left bumper

Truck #2
2009 Dodge Ram Sport, White, 165000KM
Same interior minus the navigation, with weather tech floor liners. K and N air intake, full cat back exhaust, factory alpine sound system, remote start, Pro Comp Stage 2 6 inch lift, fox rear shocks, black housing headlights, light bar in grill, tinted fogs/HIDs, 37inch nitto trail grapplers on new fuel rims, 20 inch winter tires. tie rods replaced, both wheel bearings, M1 grill
THE GOOD: Tire and rims are BRAND NEW. 3 weeks old, worth a lot by themselves. I know the guy personally and he really takes care of his things. Only selling because he wants a diesel. Some rust on rear bumper, that he will touch up. Worked in a body shop for two years.
THE BAD: Older. $500 more expensive

I don't know what to do! Both trucks are nice, but I feel like the Pro Comp lift is much better, and nicer riding on highways/ city streets. Hopefully you guys can help! Thank you!!

Does truck 2 have 3.92s? 37s on a half ton cause a lot of wear on many parts. Suspension, transmission and drivetrain. Seems like a better deal, but they both have quite a few km on them being lifted and possibly driven hard.

I personally would not buy either due to km's and aftermarket "stuff". You know the one truck so it seems like an easy decision, good luck.
