2500 6.4L Hemi 4.10's 'Off-Road'
Here is my step-fathers truck. He passed away about 5 weeks ago. Truck is a 2017 Laramie Longhorn 1500 with 3.92's. Has 67,000 miles on it. Truck was washed at least once a week it's whole life. I drove it tonight and put gas in it. Mother will be selling it but said she may keep it until spring. Personally I think it is purely due to sentimental reasons but here it is. Located in western PA.

Has heated and cooled seats, sunroof, etc. Truck is dark green with brownish gold trim

So my mother had a dealer give her a quote on buying the truck outright. $25,200, I also went on webuyanycar and their 'quote' over the internet was $28,000. We know she can get more by selling outright but being 72 and living alone she doesn't want to go through that or have something break on it a week later and have the aggravation of the buyer bugging her about it. This was his baby and she will have a hard enough time letting it go as is and doesn't want to have to be reminded of it later. BTW-there is nothing wrong with it and there have never been any mechanical issues. He did hit a bicyclist a few years ago so the right front fender, flare and I think headlight and mirror were replaced. There is also a small piece broken out of the right rear taillight and a small ding in the tailgate, neither are very noticeable. Rear bumper has a few chips of paint flaking off too. Aside from that the truck is mint.
It's in western PA if anyone is interested. There is still a small payoff on the loan but that can be worked around pretty easily. PM me if anyone is interested. Truck has 3.92's also and I think it has every option except Ram Boxes. Has factory sunroof too.
She has said that she plans to take it to the local dealer next week to see what they say then head over to the nearest webuyanycar and see what they say.

Beautiful truck. Love that color. Looks black but in bright sun it appears dark metallic green. Is it 4WD and does it have air ride suspension? I have a ‘22 Longhorn with Ramboxes on order, so good luck with sale.

It is dark green. Has the rawhide or whatever leather interior. I don't think it has the air suspension. And yes, 4wd

Sorry for your family’s loss. Love the colors of that truck! Might try carmax. I’ve had good results selling vehicles to them or at least getting a good quote from them.

Thanks!
She sold it back to the dealer last week. I ran it through the 'webuyanycar' site and she went to 3 dealers. 1 dealer was at $25,000 the other 2 and webuyanycar were at $28,000. She didn't want to sell it privately cause didn't want to be bothered with the hassle and didn't want strangers knowing she was now living alone

Checked the dealers site today and they must have sold it. Wondering if someone working there might have bought it? They never had actual pics up and if the did it probably would have sold in a day and he had all service done there. The guy told my mother when he looked up the truck 'gee, he never missed any service appointments'.
