Need some advice on a 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Crew Cab 4x4. I need to upgrade my truck and found one with 13k miles for 27k. I've never owned a Dodge, but this is a comfortable truck. I don't tow anything, but I do haul some stuff on occasion. What do you guys think?

I have a 2014 ram 1500 reg cab 4x4. Bought it new and haven't had any issues so far. Wish I had gotten the v8 though. The v6 likes to down shift in the hills at highway speeds. I have pulled trailers across the country with it though with no complaints.

Late model Ram's have lots of good reviews. I don't think you can go wrong with any late model full size truck these days.

PM me the VIN and I can send you a black book report on the truck. Might help with negotiation.

Congrats on the truck, I hope it serves you well! Personally I am a Toyota Tacoma guy, I have a 2005 Taco crew cab TRD package. I purchased it used 8 years ago with 50K on the clock, it now has 233K and has had very little issues, I changed a water pump, front left wheel bearings, Stereo and speakers, and installed neoprene seat covers. I pull a 20 foot bayboat, and have not had any problems pulling it, or launching or pulling it out at the launch. Again enjoy the new ride.

I drove my 2002 Sport Trac for 14 years. Bought used in 2003 and was the best vehicle I've ever owned. Started putting more money into than it was worth. Also wanted a bigger truck. Hope this one lasts me 14 or more years!

I started leasing a few years back. Started with a 14 Taco and loved it. Got a 16 now and am kinda missing my 14. But it is nice getting a new truck every couple years.
