You’ll love that truck like a son soon after purchase. Loved mine like that for years.

Like to hear this, looking at buying a Grand Cherokee pretty soon and 0% sounds good. :)

I'm currently looking at upgrading from my GC SRT to a Trackhawk. I checked this morning and they are offering 0% financing for all the GC trim levels with the exception of the SRT and Trackhawk. The "special" financing offer for the Trackhawk is 3.7% for 60 months. I think I'll continue to wait them out...

Definitely bro!! They'll be begging to get rid of them once they see that no one is even looking at them with all this ******** going on.
The Trackhawks are an awesome machine. Good luck!

What year? (EDIT: 2018)
Big Horn (yep)
Power fold/AutoDim mirrors
Front/rear Park Sense
3.6L v6/8spd
(edit: 3.55 rear & 8.4 Nav AA/CP)

Nice truck.

I had a 13 ram 1500 v6 /8spd that looked a lot like that... Same color but a CC. Would have preferred the larger 6'4" bed

It's carmax, so there are no negotiations. That's their M.O.

Has 24,000 miles on it, asking $23,000.


That's a very good price IMO.

I paid $35k for my 18 Laramie 1500 4x2 5.7L 3.21 (loaded) 2 years ago and just crossed 40k miles. (Got a great trade in on my 13 SLT)

M² Mods.

Man thats a great looking Rig, 8ft box, that bike will fit in there!!!
With room to spare.
No more leaving the tailgate down, which means everything else (ramps, tools, lumber, etc) just gets tossed in. No having to tie everything up so I don't lose it out the back.
And thanks for the thumbs up.

Thanks, you got almost all of it right. It's a 2018 Big Horn. Has all that you mentioned, with GPS and 3:55 gearing.
With the 0 apr for 84 months they have been slinging around. Just get the 5.7 Hemi with 3.92 gears. Unless you’re towing heavy stuff all the time, you’d at least max out the capabilities of a 1/2 ton truck. Just my .02 cents,

This is just my personal opinion here but I wouldn't be borrowing money or making any large purchases during this Corona Crisis.Your source of income could be gone tomorrow.Also, 7 year interest free loan on a used vehicle just seems to good to be true


Yeah, it's got me nervous for sure. But some day this will be over, and I'm going to assume it to be relatively short time. I own my own business, and some of my customers are not really feeling any slow down. I should be able to at least keep myself afloat. Sounds like there's going to be some help through all this also.

I may be wrong, but I've heard on NEW cars and trucks, 0% for 84 months, with a A+ credit...not sure it as on used.


Nice looking truck!! My credit rating wouldn't allow that for me.

I like my ram but no one has a better riding truck than Chevy. I had an 02 Silverado 4x2 which road like a caddy. They still do. a buddy of mine took me out for a ride in his new one and that thing road like a dream. I'm keeping my ram of course. But it gives more of a truck ride as does Ford.

I will say if you can do it and you're not worried about what may come it might be a good time to buy. Look for deals coming up. Back in 08 I got a great deal on a Jeep. And that was right after the market crash.

I suggest you take a ride in a 19 or 20 1500 I don't believe the Chevy or GMC will even come close. They are not like your 15 Ram.
