Man I’m only 18 and was able to purchase one of these at 89k for 12,000 learned later it was 2wd I’m from Michigan but it’s doable . and when I drove it for the first mile I fell in love it already had a muffler delete it was so ballsy and hauls ass. It now has 110k only things replaced we’re brakes rotors serpentine belt , TIPM repair (Fuel relay) , front left bearing and trans service . Currently my manifolds leak when cold . Other than that I highly recommend these truck just give em a good look over with vin checks. Your gonna enjoy a HEMI get you one with it .

Best long-term truck I have owned

I bought my 2012 1500 5.7L 4x4 new. It rides great, is very comfortable, and has been very dependable. I did have to replace the manifold bolts around 5 yrs - it's a common problem with Ram's. Apparently Chrysler was saving a couple of bucks on bolts, translation I got to spend around $500. The truck is a gas guzzler but, duh. It tows great, handles off-road like a champ and I am not letting this truck go until it is absolutely DEAD.

The title says it all! The hemi engine is a beast! The truck rides and drives with all of the upper end vehicles I have owned.
