I have a 2014 Silverado 5.3 with 93,000 miles. I get 24.2 AVERAGE MPG. Hauling two quad's I average 18.7 MPG. I off road it very often and drive it hard. I have not had one issue, just 3 recalls. It rocks!! What a piece with all of the problems you have had...
Ryan Miller I also thought it was hideous but it’s growing on me. Well at least the front end. The rear end is still something I really have a hard time liking
Proud owner of a 2016 Ram Bighorn edition. This by far is the best Truck i've owned, and i've owned several i'm 54 yrs young. Its towing power and reliability is unmatched, in the half ton class. I pull a 28 ft, jayco camper. The 5.7 hemi never miises a beat, and the 5.7 sounds like its pissed off when i'm in the throttle. Very Nice truck!
Keyword “interior”, I don’t think people buy trucks so they can be sitting like a little princess with all their gadgets and pointless buttons. People want a truck that’s gonna last 200k+ miles with the least maintenance, and the only way your gonna get that is with a Toyota Tundra or maybe a 5.3 Chevy. Everything else on the half ton market starts shitting out at 100k, electronically and mechanically
Chad Weinberger 200k miles on a 1500 with no substantial fixes? Everybody I know who drives a 1500 has had nothing but problems, and the people I know who drive new Ram’s only have them because they got an insane deal on them at the dealership(because they are all steamy piles of dogshit compared to almost another other half ton). The only actually reliable ram truck’s I’ve seen are the 3/4 and one tons with Cummins’. But that’s just my biased opinion. At the end of the day, 200k miles on a truck with no major fixes is pretty damn good regardless of the brand
I've owned rams and there o.k. they are cheaply made, with questionable safety issues, as crash test data supports. I agree the interiors are nice but they even fall apart after a few years.
I just jumped shipped from a 2003 GMC Sierra. Had it since 2005. Was a2003. Been an alright truck but some elec issues at times. Rougher ride but got me around. Now I went to a Ram Longhorn. Obviously no comparison. Tried all three. Ford,GM and then Ram. Without a doubt Ram was the truck. Knew friends with Ram and had really good success. 2010 and up. Truly it wasn’t that hard of a decision. Up to 2 grand more for the upper end models from Ford and GM but worth every penny. If you like floating on air when driving on the highway it’s the way to go. I drove in 85 kilometre winds and it handled so great and blew me away. In winter.
I bought a 19 Bighorn (chrome grille) but really like the monochrome color scheme. It’s taken several months for the new styling to grow on me. LOVE the interior too!
I just picked up a 2020 Bighorn crew cab 4x4 with the LEDs, rear step, linex, full length running boards, sport. I've had F150s, F250s, a Silverado, and a 16 Sierra Denali. This is my first Ram and I'm loving it so far. And the shift knob everybody seems to hate, I love. It's a Truck for hauling, hunting, fishing, it's a limo for weddings, and everything in between. This has all the elegance I care about and the ability to go anywhere I want.
Love my 03 ram laramine with the 5.9. 144k miles, In 5 or 6 years after college I'll probably upgrade to the 2010 ram 1500 but I'm really happy with mine so far.
I bought a new 2004 Ram 1500 Laramie that I kept for 11 years. Loved that truck. I sold it to a co-worker in 2015 for $13,000.00 after buying a 2015 Challenger SRT 6 speed. Kept my Challenger for 2 years then started to miss my truck especially when I would see it at work on occasions. In 2017 I traded my Challenger in for a new Ram Laramie 1500 white with two tone interior. It's been nice having my truck back and I get lots of compliments on how sharpe it is. I too would like to trade in one more time but like you I'm not sold on that front end. It doesn't have that aggressive looking front end like the previous generation Ram. But I am leaning on trading if not this year differently next year. Ram is the only truck I will buy.
I really like the look of the new rams, and their interiors are dope. I've never had a truck before but I defiantly want my next vehicle to be a Ram 1500.
Let's see: Ram 1500 with 5.7L Hemi , Ford F-150 with 3.5L Twin Turbo. I am an old sport who say that nothing beats cubic inches. Go with the RAM !!!! But man you RAM looks fine, I can bet that it will go for another 150k miles without major issues. Stay with it !!!!
I think they’re only giving you 6000 or $4000 for your truck on trade at the Dodge dealer, because, they generally discount their trucks by almost 15% without a trade. They usually get a lot of the discount $ right back if you finance through the finance company they want you to go through. I had three Dodge dealers competing for my business. I had a 42,000 miles 2008 GMC Canyon 4 x 4. Retail value was $17,500 I was actually driving on my way to buy a new tradesman/2017 six cylinder I had picked out. Cash difference out the door, $24,000. I got a call from another dealer that I only called, I never visited the show room. I told him I’m on my way to buy a truck at this other dealer. He said, the standard line, give me a shot at you I will save you thousands more I was in a hurry to get this done on a Saturday but I stopped at this other dealer anyway which was out of my way by about 10 miles. He brought out a gorgeous burgundy big horn hemi with heated steering wheel and seats, sprayed in bedliner, running boards,chrome bumpers and wheels, trailer package, list on the truck was $49,400 on the sticker. I told that dealer that I’m on my way to another dealer right now if you don’t give me the deal you said you would over the phone, I’m not gonna waste time here, I’m not going to allow you to double-team me with you and the sales manager, pull the trigger and tell me the deal right now or I’m on my way to the other dealer. He reduced his truck from 49,400, to $39,000 even, and, then he gave me $17,200 for my truck on trade, which was only $200 lower than the Kelley blue book average retail. Trading in actually saved me over &1200. Tax because, I didn’t have to pay sales tax on &17,200 of the total price. Only on the cash difference.I had tried for three months to sell my truck myself , Lots of calls, no reasonable offers. To get that deal, they required that I finance a portion through Chrysler financing., Which saved me an additional $500. So I wrote them a check, and financed $10,000, which I paid off 2 weeks later,when the paperwork finally arrived in the mail.. So after all the taxes were done, and I told them I’m not paying for prep, freight and set up, Scotchgard on the seats dealer add-ons ect... and especially I am not buying an extended warranty. The guy that does the final paperwork in the back room office kept pressing that. Pressing, pressing to get me to buy the extended warranty. I told him I would not have bought the truck if I thought it would break down , and if he didn’t stop pressuring me to buy the xtra warranty, I’m leaving right now, and I stood up.I had already been at the dealer for three hours. My total out the door was $22,400 and my 2008 GMC Canyon trade-in, for a brand new, was not a demo, four-door ram Big Horn. I took it straight home and spent five days rust proofing it with fluid film. I pulled the headlights out, the tail lights out, took off all the wheels and covered the disks with plastic bags, i. Removed the fender plastic wheel well liners, and the dealer added on running boards so that I could be sure to get fluid film between the floorboard brackets and the frame.I took the spare tire down, And hand coated the rim which is steel with fluid film.I had bought rustproofing tools for getting fluid film up the door posts & the windshield posts all the way to the roof. Because those rams I see running around here in western Pennsylvania we throw salt on The roads in the winter, those ram trucks rust out faster than any other brand I have seen. No part of the truck is spared from the salt. The rocker panels, the fender wells, The doors, the tailgate, the hood, even the bumpers.. I am writing this now that I have had my truck for 2 winters, 18 months. I climbed under my truck looking for any corrosion. None. I was under the truck before this past winter to do a reapplication of fluid film and to find areas I may have missed when I first got the truck. Nothing no rust.Everything was still shiny wet looking. When I first brought my 2008 GMC Canyon home, and I was doing the first oil change at 1500 miles, I saw almost complete rust coverage on the insides of both chrome bumpers on that truck six weeks after I brought it home. I took it straight back to the dealer, and they said, there’s nothing we can do until it rusts a hole in the bumper. I read the owners manual for my GMC cover to cover, and in the manual, there was a statement that if I rustproof the vehicle, I void the warranty. I thought that must be a good sign that General Motors has a lot of confidence in their anti-corrosion coatings so I didn’t worry about it. was I wrong. I actually got rid of that truck with very low miles on it because I was told by the guy who does my annual state inspections that the frame where are the rear bumper attaches is weak from corrosion. Entire undercarriage of that truck you could scrape pounds of scale rust off of. I lost the brakes two times from rust, and fuel lines. The fuel line corrosion problem cost me $1100, Because it happened above the fuel tank and affected the fuel pump which had to be replaced also. It happened on a trip so the vehicle had to be towed to a garage. While the gas tank was down on the ground, the mechanic showed me, he looked up under that GMC and said this is a crime what the salt is doing to this vehicle. That’s why I got rid of that truck, and that’s why I spent five days undercoating my new ram. The Dodge dealers are the ones that were the most willing to negotiate, and give the most generous trade-in value. I did stop at GMC and I didn’t really like the new trucks, and I couldn’t find anything out about them because they had two different women salesman. They didn’t know anything. They didn’t know if the truck had a positraction rear end when not in four-wheel-drive, they didn’t know if the ABS or the traction control could be turned off manually, they couldn’t even get the hood open so I could see how hard it might be to change the oil, or spark plugs..And they couldn’t give me a trade-in value of my truck towards a new one Because the manager had gone home for the evening.I never went back, and I bought the ram the next day at the Dodge dealer
I get my ram treated by Krown once a year. They get even farther into everything than you did plus that stuff wears off you should be retreating every year.
@@mugs2169 They only spend an hour doing the Krown application, that hour also includes washing the truck. Harry spent 5 days, so I'm sure he did a better job covering all areas. I have an appointment on the 14th to have the Krown treatment done, but just canceled it. I bought everything thing I need to do it myself. If you have a high level of OCD, nobody will care for your stuff as much as you do. I'll be damn if those guys are taking dirty soap water and a dirty brush to my paint from the last several vehicles. LOL
As a truck salesperson...there is some truth to getting more for your trade when trading up to same make (Ram-for-Ram) vs Ram-for-Ford. The Ram dealer would prefer your 1-owner truck with all service records. It provides evidence for any pre-owned Ram prospect they are getting a decent truck.
@@pmm4177 a real job? Iol I love customers like you because it puts a smile on my face to tell you to fuck off. You are just mad you can't make 10-15k a month with your shitty construction job.
It doesn’t necessarily matter if you go to a dealer that sells your current brand vehicle new or not. Sometimes that’s a bad thing because the same lot is selling new versions with all kinds of incentives. It’s really just the difference between dealers and not what brand is on the sign. You can really make a lot of points back and forth but at the end of the day it mostly doesn’t matter.
I have a2010 dodge Ram Laramie and a 2018 Silverado..my Ram still looks brand new..I really love it..I wouldn't trade my Ram for the Silverado..except for the fuel economy....blessed have 2 trucks I love so feels good everyday
I picked up a 2019 Longhorn back in September. Love the truck. Your 2010 is mint. If the space to park it, and the money to buy a new one is not an issue, I would keep it and get the new Ram. New is nice. Paid for is real nice.
Bought a new 1995 SLT Dodge Ram in Apr., 95. We still have it. Run's perfect. 118,000 mi. Little rust in the wheel wells and headliner coming apart. Also 360 ci. 275 hp with a chip.
I’ve looked at all 3 these past few weeks. I like the Ram and Ford seats best...they are way more comfortable than the GM’s. But,, I like the exterior and the engine (6.2) on the GM.. not to say the 5.0 or 5.7 are bad....mines been really good so far...so if I were buying on comfort alone. I’d have to go with the Ram 1st, Ford 2nd... can’t wait to see which one you get
Jack of Blades I’m always leery of used newer vehicles especially an off-road inspired one there’s nothing like getting one brand new and knowing it’s history, thanks for your comment
Just so everyone knows FCA doesn't advertise it, you can buy a Mopar lifetime BUMPER TO BUMPER warranty just tell them that you want the bumper to bumper lifetime warranty and add it in your payments or pay for it cash. I have it on my 1500 and Durango.
Is it actually lifetime and unlimited mileage. I heard somewhere it's only 7 year 120,000 miles. If you could get an actually lifetime warranty that would be sweet
@@VFio689 They call it a lifetime bumper to bumper but it's a million miles is what the warranty says. All FCA vehicles are covered EXCEPT 2500 and 3500 diesels and SRT's. I do have one friend who has 3500 Cummins and the dealer sold him the lifetime warranty so Mopar has to honor it. Google Mopar lifetime warranty. A lot of people talk a lot of crap about Ram/Dodge/Mopar/Chrysler/FCA and believe me I get it they had a rough time through 80's and 90's. They are dialed in now and there isn't a auto manufacturer that stands behind their vehicles like FCA does and offering a warranty like this proves it. Oh and Jeep falls under that warranty also
nice!! I still own a 2010 Ram 1500 and have a lifetime warranty on everything, $100 deductible. They don't offer this warranty any more. Everytime I bring it in they want to buy it back, probably just because of my warranty lol.
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA looks don't make the machine it is what is under the hood and how it runs you don't have a real truck now a truck is supposed to have 8ft of cargo plywood comes in 8ft sheet Rock anything shorter than 8ft is a toy
I think the price part just depends on the dealer. I've seen some where you trade in on different brand and they give you more money. but without looking up blue book 16500 seems good/fair. I traded an 11 ram crew cab in beginning of 16 for my 15 gmc 1500. and I got 19500 then with 33k. but it was st model with only the 4.7 . I got it used in 13 with 6500 miles. for 20500. it was one of those I had to trade it in while I basically didn't lose money on it.
Have a 2010 Laramie with 138,600 at the time of this comment and the highest offer I got in march 2019 was 13,500 and the lowest at 11,500 in North East America
Sure as hell wouldn’t trade for a Ford. I’ve got a 2011bighorn 1500 with 38000 miles on it and thinking of trading it on a 2500 Ram. Chevy and Ford can’t touch Ram prices.
@craig schrader To each their own. I was just talking about my experience which I have had terrible luck with Fords. I only lease new vehicle's now. All the new added electronics and features makes them all long term money pits.
2012 was the bad year for RAM 1500. Those issues were mostly resolved by '16. I bought a 2018 gen 4 Recently to replace my '99 RAM with 269k miles. That became a work truck now. But yes, your year was a dud for RAM.
Ram all the way!!!....Remember! when your driving you only see the inside of the truck, between that, and the roar of a hemi? no compairing. I thought the black one was hot, and you can always put a 4 inch lift in it. Good luck. :)
Doesn’t sounds bad man I have a 2017 hope I can keep it for a wile. I agree with you that the new gen is not as good looking as the 4th gen. Did you keep it stock all the time ?
In fairness you were complaining of the high cost of the GMC Denali and comparing it to a mid range Ford. The price between similar equipped trucks from different makes reasonably close.
that 2010 front end looks way better than the new Rebel. but the 2019s in the Limited/Longhorn trims outclass both with those super sleek headlights. best looking truck front end in decades hands down
I have a ‘19 Ram 1500 limited. It has a few quirks but that expected in a new model. I personally like the GMC Sierra Denali and will consider it once my lease is up.
I say go for the ram because they have the Hemi V8 because one day when you really stomp on the gas on both trucks and you you hear the little V6 revving up you probably not going to like it other than the V8 then what the V8 sounds like and also the limited is a full package deal
I have a 2016 Ram 1500 big horn I saw the new Silverado 2019 for 29,000 no 4x4 v6 engine .. the 4x4 with v8 is to much I said I’ll just keep my old Ram lift it and put some AEV bumpers on it make it look updated and aggressive
Good information. Several have said, Ram has improved their reliability game. Same sources say GM has not fared as well. Ford with the Coyote 5.0, would be my first choice, but that is for buying a truck to use as a truck. If I wanted luxury, Ram would be first pick. That's just me.
I got a 13 Ram Tradesman.. ain't special but hey.. it'll def get the work done and I plan on keeping it and eventually get myself a brand spanking new ram.. I didn't like it after I purchased it but it's growing on me.
Used trucks are in high demand and holding their value quite well. Even at 9 model years! $2000 less on trade, but whats the price difference between the Ford and Dodge?
i have a 2009 laramie with 389000 km on it. i paid 5k for it last year had 383000 on it then. new struts a water pump gasket and trans lines. everyone figures it has a new motor because it runs super quiet but when you divide the engine hours by mileage its average speed per km was 60kmh so lot of highway miles. very little rust. one recall was not done for the shifter lock. you could pull it out of park without stepping on the brake. our baby did that and rolled it into a tree thats how i found out.
Bought a new used 4th gen ram love it had 1st 2nd and 4th gen I didn't like the look of the 3rd gens but I almost bought one anyways,the newer ones not Shur about the looks but the options dann!!when I grow up I will be able to afford one!lol
$16,500 is about double what I was expecting them to offer you. Wow. My 2013 Hemi Express dropped in value like a rock. I bought it brand new and after 2.5 years when I got rid of it because I out grew the single cab, it was worth $7000 less than what I owed. I couldn't believe it depreciated that fast. Maybe I just didn't get as many incentives when I bought it but I didn't really do much research other than test drive a couple different ones and then made the dealer find one with the color and options I wanted and had it shipped to them.
Marco Rafael - Are you referring to lifter ticking? My ‘09 Laramie w/ 230K has had that for a while. Paid $18.5K w/ 98K miles on it. Overall it has been a great truck. My only issues have been fuel pump, front wheel hub, and cam / crank sensors.
@@DRPowell oh yes the famous lifter/misfire problem, shortly after that, check engine light will go on, and you will be driving a big 5.7 l v8 same way you drive a small Toyota no power at all. The year of your truck was very common to get that. On my 2012 i thought that they corrected that weak lifter issue, well i was so wrong
I bought the same truck in the same color back in 2014 with 55k for 19.5. Love it. Just passed 100k with no problems and plan on keeping it until it craps out. I don’t like what they did to the new rams either.
I just picked up a 18 platinum with the 3.5 and couldn’t be happier, I love the new ram interiors but a little too high tech for me I don’t want to be the one on the hook when 1/12 speakers blow or something lol the ford is a perfect hybrid has everything about right nothing to blow away your socks like the ram interior or the Denali exterior. And that 10 speed with the 3.5 is just so dahm good.
I have the 2019 ram big horn 4x4 with 2 inch lift and bigger off road tires mine sits high and it's nice to drive. Fuel mpg 14 mpg at 65 mph my last ram got 21 mpg but tires were different.
The RAM trucks are worth a fortune over here in Australia, I have to change them to right hand drive, even secondhand ones get a good price, a ram in Australia is worth anywhere between AU$120-AU$135,000 New
I traded my 2014 F150 SLT 5.0 gas, crew cab with about 78,000 miles at my local Ram dealer and got $18,500 towards my new 2018 RAM 2500 Tradesman 8 foot bed, 6.4 HEMI gas crew cab. Having said that, my local Ford dealer would only give me $15,500 towards a 2018 250 SLT with 6.2 gas. So it depends what and where. I have been a Ford truck guy most of my life, but I am impressed with this 2500. The towing is the biggest benefit over the Ford F250. I did not need a diesel since I am not on the road that much. I think diesels in town kind of suck, They are made for the over the road. I think the difference is the RAM dealer does fleet sales whereas the Ford dealer does not. Now these are local dealers in my hometown. Many variables to this scenario for sure.
While i like the older GMs, i dont know how to feel about the new ones. As long as it has a v8 (or a small turbodiesel), and the price is right, i feel that both the ford and the ram would be good trucks even though rams 8-speed is a more proven transmission. When at some point i can afford it, id trade my ‘10 dakota (3.7l v6, 4-speed auto) for (most likely) a ram ecodiesel or a ford (mini) powerstroke cause ive always wanted a diesel truck, but dont need a 3/4 or 1 ton. That said, the dakotas a phenomenal little-ish truck, just a tad thirsty :).
I bought a 2010 1500st single cab and it is in perfect condition. Leather seats too! I only paid 4k and it's got 189000 on her but she purrs like a kitten. My evaporative emissions thingy causes the engine light on, coffee 0440... Not a mechanic but I had to have it
I have an 09 4.7l. and I agree. don't really like the new front end, Ram could have made the lights wider. it just looks empty unless its all black with the black out.
The F150 3.5 Ecoboost is a good engine option for towing. and They are Pretty quick. I am gonna be picking up a 2019 f150 with the 5.0 in a couple of months
Dude ram. I had chevy dodge and ford. Long story short I only buy rams now. Careful with the new f150 the door dont latch when its freezing out or shut
When I drove a new Ram I didn’t feel any lower than my 14’ that rides on 34s. However the view out the windshield feels smaller or the pillars are bigger or something.
I have 2012 Ram 1500 SLT , traded in 04 Ford XLT LARIAT for it. Use to be a Ford truck guy, Junk now dats. My Ram has been issues free, 92,000 miles no major issues , just basic maintenance done , consumables, wear items. I to have, Looked at Chevy/ GMC as new truck options, but in my opinion, they are way over priced ! Out of my ranch. Keeping my Ram for now, suggestion , keep yours, its paid for and running great, unless you just have drop 60 grand on something new. Me , I’ll buy another Ram in a few years, best trade in allowance and the Best Buy and truck for the money at this time. Good luck.
the air bags are blown on the $500 f150 so we will be doing some stuff with it but driving it on the road again probably won't happen but fun stuff to come
Ford F150 for sure can you tell I am a ford man? However I looked at the new ram limited and I was impressed. I will test drive the ram and ford when i am ready to buy, but i really like the Ford F150
you are not wrong ford is the most reliable but with the 5.0 v8 non of that eco boost crap tundra would be very close second. Living in the rust belt myself the aluminium on ford trucks and paired with a reliable 5.0 v8 it will out last the other trucks.
I went Ram for Ram. Of course I upgraded from a laramie Dakota to the new 19 Ram Bighorn. Wish I would've got more options, but 20k less than yours. GL in your quest. PS. wouldn't drive a ford if you gave it to me. : )

2019 front end is hideous. It looks like a Chevy and a Toyota had a love child.
Ryan Miller I also thought it was hideous but it’s growing on me. Well at least the front end. The rear end is still something I really have a hard time liking
Guy told me one time most people trade their paid for truck out of boredom .... insane..
Get the Ram. I"m a Ford(car) guy and it's now clear that Ram now makes the best light trucks.
My Ram is a 1998 . Still moving out .
That's an awesome truck I'd keep it for another 10 years.
The best truck is a paid for truck.
True!
Boring and old
Pentastar Nate but it’s paid lol 😂
My 14 ram is P A I D 4 THANK GOD!
If you grab yourself 25 Grand cash and take it to a classic auction you can buy yourself a well built classic truck that will carry its value forever
just keep the truck you have if its paid for plus you have a life warranty

Maybe a 2001. They didn't make trucks, much less Rams 118 years ago.
New Ram won Truck of the Year and honestly all the other major Truck brands out there cant compete with the Ram's interior this year.
i totally agree
Keyword “interior”, I don’t think people buy trucks so they can be sitting like a little princess with all their gadgets and pointless buttons. People want a truck that’s gonna last 200k+ miles with the least maintenance, and the only way your gonna get that is with a Toyota Tundra or maybe a 5.3 Chevy. Everything else on the half ton market starts shitting out at 100k, electronically and mechanically
@@2hot4u435 Last ram lasted 200,000+ miles and had all those scary "buttons" you're worried about. Lmao.
Chad Weinberger 200k miles on a 1500 with no substantial fixes?

I've always been a GM guy but I would go with the Ram.

It’s taken several months for the new styling to grow on me. LOVE the interior too!
Your ram still looks pretty good. I would keep it for a bit longer
I just picked up a 2020 Bighorn crew cab 4x4 with the LEDs, rear step, linex, full length running boards, sport. I've had F150s, F250s, a Silverado, and a 16 Sierra Denali. This is my first Ram and I'm loving it so far. And the shift knob everybody seems to hate, I love. It's a Truck for hauling, hunting, fishing, it's a limo for weddings, and everything in between. This has all the elegance I care about and the ability to go anywhere I want.
Just took delivery of my 2019 ram classic (old style) 1500 5.7 love it never had a dodge before
We have the same truck. Our first Ram. We love it.
Same here, I just got one on the year end clear out. My sis did too. Express Night Edition 4x4. I absolutely love it.
Love my 03 ram laramine with the 5.9. 144k miles, In 5 or 6 years after college I'll probably upgrade to the 2010 ram 1500 but I'm really happy with mine so far.
Lots to think about in a truck purchase these days so many good options
Hammerdown Motorsports the only problem is the new fords they have a terrible good set up you half to take out the dash to work on it
@@streetboys2821 sounds like something ford would do
I bought a new 2004 Ram 1500 Laramie that I kept for 11 years. Loved that truck. I sold it to a co-worker in 2015 for $13,000.00 after buying a 2015 Challenger SRT 6 speed. Kept my Challenger for 2 years then started to miss my truck especially when I would see it at work on occasions. In 2017 I traded my Challenger in for a new Ram Laramie 1500 white with two tone interior. It's been nice having my truck back and I get lots of compliments on how sharpe it is. I too would like to trade in one more time but like you I'm not sold on that front end. It doesn't have that aggressive looking front end like the previous generation Ram. But I am leaning on trading if not this year differently next year. Ram is the only truck I will buy.
i was a gmc fan before but i just got my 2018 ram larame with 9k like new i was stocked.... way way better than gmc. i love ❤️ my ram
I really like the look of the new rams, and their interiors are dope. I've never had a truck before but I defiantly want my next vehicle to be a Ram 1500.
Let's see: Ram 1500 with 5.7L Hemi , Ford F-150 with 3.5L Twin Turbo. I am an old sport who say that nothing beats cubic inches. Go with the RAM !!!! But man you RAM looks fine, I can bet that it will go for another 150k miles without major issues. Stay with it !!!!
Held its value very well! I have a 2009 Dodge Ram crew cab with 41,000 miles on it. Keeping it till it dies
10 years old with 41, 000 miles??? I think YOU will be dead before the RAM at that rate... you've got a cream puff there... KEEP IT !
@@mike1158d haha no shit eh.
My 08’ Dodge 1500 just turned over 340,000 miles! How the heck does one drive such little mileage?
I think they’re only giving you 6000 or $4000 for your truck on trade at the Dodge dealer, because, they generally discount their trucks by almost 15% without a trade. They usually get a lot of the discount $ right back if you finance through the finance company they want you to go through.
I had three Dodge dealers competing for my business. I had a 42,000 miles 2008 GMC Canyon 4 x 4. Retail value was $17,500
I was actually driving on my way to buy a new tradesman/2017 six cylinder I had picked out.
Cash difference out the door, $24,000.
I got a call from another dealer that I only called, I never visited the show room. I told him I’m on my way to buy a truck at this other dealer. He said, the standard line, give me a shot at you I will save you thousands more
I was in a hurry to get this done on a Saturday but I stopped at this other dealer anyway which was out of my way by about 10 miles.
He brought out a gorgeous burgundy big horn hemi with heated steering wheel and seats, sprayed in bedliner, running boards,chrome bumpers and wheels, trailer package, list on the truck was $49,400 on the sticker.
I told that dealer that I’m on my way to another dealer right now if you don’t give me the deal you said you would over the phone, I’m not gonna waste time here, I’m not going to allow you to double-team me with you and the sales manager, pull the trigger and tell me the deal right now or I’m on my way to the other dealer.
He reduced his truck from 49,400, to $39,000 even, and, then he gave me $17,200 for my truck on trade, which was only $200 lower than the Kelley blue book average retail. Trading in actually saved me over &1200. Tax because, I didn’t have to pay sales tax on &17,200 of the total price. Only on the cash difference.I had tried for three months to sell my truck myself , Lots of calls, no reasonable offers.
To get that deal, they required that I finance a portion through Chrysler financing., Which saved me an additional $500.
So I wrote them a check, and financed $10,000, which I paid off 2 weeks later,when the paperwork finally arrived in the mail..
So after all the taxes were done, and I told them I’m not paying for prep, freight and set up, Scotchgard on the seats dealer add-ons ect... and especially I am not buying an extended warranty. The guy that does the final paperwork in the back room office kept pressing that. Pressing, pressing to get me to buy the extended warranty. I told him I would not have bought the truck if I thought it would break down , and if he didn’t stop pressuring me to buy the xtra warranty, I’m leaving right now, and I stood up.I had already been at the dealer for three hours.
My total out the door was $22,400 and my 2008 GMC Canyon trade-in, for a brand new, was not a demo, four-door ram Big Horn. I took it straight home and spent five days rust proofing it with fluid film. I pulled the headlights out, the tail lights out, took off all the wheels and covered the disks with plastic bags, i. Removed the fender plastic wheel well liners, and the dealer added on running boards so that I could be sure to get fluid film between the floorboard brackets and the frame.I took the spare tire down, And hand coated the rim which is steel with fluid film.I had bought rustproofing tools for getting fluid film up the door posts & the windshield posts all the way to the roof. Because those rams I see running around here in western Pennsylvania we throw salt on The roads in the winter, those ram trucks rust out faster than any other brand I have seen. No part of the truck is spared from the salt. The rocker panels, the fender wells, The doors, the tailgate, the hood, even the bumpers..
I am writing this now that I have had my truck for 2 winters, 18 months. I climbed under my truck looking for any corrosion. None. I was under the truck before this past winter to do a reapplication of fluid film and to find areas I may have missed when I first got the truck. Nothing no rust.Everything was still shiny wet looking.
When I first brought my 2008 GMC Canyon home, and I was doing the first oil change at 1500 miles, I saw almost complete rust coverage on the insides of both chrome bumpers on that truck six weeks after I brought it home. I took it straight back to the dealer, and they said, there’s nothing we can do until it rusts a hole in the bumper. I read the owners manual for my GMC cover to cover, and in the manual, there was a statement that if I rustproof the vehicle, I void the warranty. I thought that must be a good sign that General Motors has a lot of confidence in their anti-corrosion coatings so I didn’t worry about it. was I wrong. I actually got rid of that truck with very low miles on it because I was told by the guy who does my annual state inspections that the frame where are the rear bumper attaches is weak from corrosion. Entire undercarriage of that truck you could scrape pounds of scale rust off of. I lost the brakes two times from rust, and fuel lines. The fuel line corrosion problem cost me $1100, Because it happened above the fuel tank and affected the fuel pump which had to be replaced also. It happened on a trip so the vehicle had to be towed to a garage. While the gas tank was down on the ground, the mechanic showed me, he looked up under that GMC and said this is a crime what the salt is doing to this vehicle. That’s why I got rid of that truck, and that’s why I spent five days undercoating my new ram.
The Dodge dealers are the ones that were the most willing to negotiate, and give the most generous trade-in value. I did stop at GMC and I didn’t really like the new trucks, and I couldn’t find anything out about them because they had two different women salesman. They didn’t know anything. They didn’t know if the truck had a positraction rear end when not in four-wheel-drive, they didn’t know if the ABS or the traction control could be turned off manually, they couldn’t even get the hood open so I could see how hard it might be to change the oil, or spark plugs..And they couldn’t give me a trade-in value of my truck towards a new one Because the manager had gone home for the evening.I never went back, and I bought the ram the next day at the Dodge dealer
I get my ram treated by Krown once a year. They get even farther into everything than you did plus that stuff wears off you should be retreating every year.
@@mugs2169 They only spend an hour doing the Krown application, that hour also includes washing the truck. Harry spent 5 days, so I'm sure he did a better job covering all areas. I have an appointment on the 14th to have the Krown treatment done, but just canceled it. I bought everything thing I need to do it myself. If you have a high level of OCD, nobody will care for your stuff as much as you do. I'll be damn if those guys are taking dirty soap water and a dirty brush to my paint from the last several vehicles. LOL
Anyone really read this ? I scrolled lol
As a truck salesperson...there is some truth to getting more for your trade when trading up to same make (Ram-for-Ram) vs Ram-for-Ford. The Ram dealer would prefer your 1-owner truck with all service records. It provides evidence for any pre-owned Ram prospect they are getting a decent truck.
It has to be a v 8 that turbo 6 is a weekend puller
Get a real job and stop scamming people
@@pmm4177 a real job? Iol I love customers like you because it puts a smile on my face to tell you to fuck off. You are just mad you can't make 10-15k a month with your shitty construction job.
@@pmm4177 LOL
It doesn’t necessarily matter if you go to a dealer that sells your current brand vehicle new or not. Sometimes that’s a bad thing because the same lot is selling new versions with all kinds of incentives. It’s really just the difference between dealers and not what brand is on the sign. You can really make a lot of points back and forth but at the end of the day it mostly doesn’t matter.
I have a2010 dodge Ram Laramie and a 2018 Silverado..my Ram still looks brand new..I really love it..I wouldn't trade my Ram for the Silverado..except for the fuel economy....blessed have 2 trucks I love so feels good everyday
You can NEVER NEVER go wrong with a RAM oh yeah baby ram all day every damn day 💪👌👍
The new ones price RAM ya in the bumbum
Ram all the way!
I picked up a 2019 Longhorn back in September. Love the truck. Your 2010 is mint. If the space to park it, and the money to buy a new one is not an issue, I would keep it and get the new Ram. New is nice. Paid for is real nice.
Bought a new 1995 SLT Dodge Ram in Apr., 95. We still have it. Run's perfect. 118,000 mi. Little rust in the wheel wells and headliner coming apart. Also 360 ci. 275 hp with a chip.
owen buterbaugh that’s awesome I have a 95 ram 2500 v10 that will be being built on the channel very soon
I’ve looked at all 3 these past few weeks. I like the Ram and Ford seats best...they are way more comfortable than the GM’s. But,, I like the exterior and the engine (6.2) on the GM.. not to say the 5.0 or 5.7 are bad....mines been really good so far...so if I were buying on comfort alone. I’d have to go with the Ram 1st, Ford 2nd... can’t wait to see which one you get
If i were to trade in my f150, I would get a ram
Rams are awesome! I’d get Laramie over the limited. I like the front end better on laramies than the limiteds
You should trade your ram for a 2015 ram rebel. Thats a great optioned truck with the old front end still.
Jack of Blades I’m always leery of used newer vehicles especially an off-road inspired one there’s nothing like getting one brand new and knowing it’s history, thanks for your comment
Just so everyone knows FCA doesn't advertise it, you can buy a Mopar lifetime BUMPER TO BUMPER warranty just tell them that you want the bumper to bumper lifetime warranty and add it in your payments or pay for it cash. I have it on my 1500 and Durango.
Is it actually lifetime and unlimited mileage. I heard somewhere it's only 7 year 120,000 miles. If you could get an actually lifetime warranty that would be sweet
@@VFio689 They call it a lifetime bumper to bumper but it's a million miles is what the warranty says. All FCA vehicles are covered EXCEPT 2500 and 3500 diesels and SRT's. I do have one friend who has 3500 Cummins and the dealer sold him the lifetime warranty so Mopar has to honor it. Google Mopar lifetime warranty. A lot of people talk a lot of crap about Ram/Dodge/Mopar/Chrysler/FCA and believe me I get it they had a rough time through 80's and 90's. They are dialed in now and there isn't a auto manufacturer that stands behind their vehicles like FCA does and offering a warranty like this proves it. Oh and Jeep falls under that warranty also
@@VFio689 www.chryslerwarrantys.com/lifetime_warranty.cfm
Chevys are nice but the price tag is outrageous. You get more for the money with a Ram
I agree completely
nice!! I still own a 2010 Ram 1500 and have a lifetime warranty on everything, $100 deductible. They don't offer this warranty any more. Everytime I bring it in they want to buy it back, probably just because of my warranty lol.
I'd go Dodge Ram again. :) Like the commentary and again a great video. :)
Toyota makes a great truck
Scott Keller I’m not a fan of the Toyota styling or interior a good truck I’m sure but not really my style
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA looks don't make the machine it is what is under the hood and how it runs you don't have a real truck now a truck is supposed to have 8ft of cargo plywood comes in 8ft sheet Rock anything shorter than 8ft is a toy
I think the price part just depends on the dealer. I've seen some where you trade in on different brand and they give you more money. but without looking up blue book 16500 seems good/fair. I traded an 11 ram crew cab in beginning of 16 for my 15 gmc 1500. and I got 19500 then with 33k. but it was st model with only the 4.7 . I got it used in 13 with 6500 miles. for 20500. it was one of those I had to trade it in while I basically didn't lose money on it.
I'm sorry, but I'm a female and there's something about stock Ford trucks that isn't very tough or sexy looking. Just my opinion.
C&L E agreed
Have a 2010 Laramie with 138,600 at the time of this comment and the highest offer I got in march 2019 was 13,500 and the lowest at 11,500 in North East America
Sure as hell wouldn’t trade for a Ford. I’ve got a 2011bighorn 1500 with 38000 miles on it and thinking of trading it on a 2500 Ram. Chevy and Ford can’t touch Ram prices.
@craig schrader I've owned at least two vehicles from each of the big three and the only two that seriously failed me before 100,000 were Fords.
@craig schrader To each their own. I was just talking about my experience which I have had terrible luck with Fords. I only lease new vehicle's now. All the new added electronics and features makes them all long term money pits.
2012 was the bad year for RAM 1500.
Those issues were mostly resolved by '16.
I bought a 2018 gen 4
Recently to replace my '99 RAM with 269k miles. That became a work truck now.
But yes, your year was a dud for RAM.
Ram all the way!!!....Remember! when your driving you only see the inside of the truck, between that, and the roar of a hemi? no compairing. I thought the black one was hot, and you can always put a 4 inch lift in it. Good luck. :)
Ram all the way
How is your truck holding ? What is the major maintenance/ repairs in 10 years?
Ulics C. Exhaust manifold bolts rear diff struts power steering pump and brakes and tires that’s about it most was warranty
Doesn’t sounds bad man I have a 2017 hope I can keep it for a wile. I agree with you that the new gen is not as good looking as the 4th gen. Did you keep it stock all the time ?
@@ulicsc.5103 I had a cold air intake and a diablo tuner and a leveling kit thats pretty much it
I see that I'm a bit late but even as a Chevy man, I like the RAM!
It's never Too Late Bro.
I'd go with the RAM the one that's blacked out. It is BADASS
$16,500 is damn good after 9 years. That thing was only like $26k out the door new. That’s how much a demo with leather I looked at was in 2010.
MrPland1992 ours was a full load Laramie sticker was 50 in 2010 but we got it for under 40 since it was a demo
In fairness you were complaining of the high cost of the GMC Denali and comparing it to a mid range Ford. The price between similar equipped trucks from different makes reasonably close.
the old one is truckier looking the new one is more streamlined. all depends on personal likes I guess.
I've had my dodge ram 2500 diesel since 2001.
And?
@@martybaker5213 your a little bitch...... And!
Dennis Morris Issa Cummins dude
Have you had any issues Dennis? Just wondering how your long term experience with Ram has been
that 2010 front end looks way better than the new Rebel. but the 2019s in the Limited/Longhorn trims outclass both with those super sleek headlights. best looking truck front end in decades hands down
I have a ‘19 Ram 1500 limited. It has a few quirks but that expected in a new model. I personally like the GMC Sierra Denali and will consider it once my lease is up.
I say go for the ram because they have the Hemi V8 because one day when you really stomp on the gas on both trucks and you you hear the little V6 revving up you probably not going to like it other than the V8 then what the V8 sounds like and also the limited is a full package deal
Hector Guajardo that’s right. Get the 5.0 and kick both the 5.7 and 5.3 off the road.
Funny you mention this, that little V6 (3.5L) will out tow and out run any 1/2 ton on the road including your Dodge Ecodiesel (Fiat diesel)
Great video really interesting
I have a 2016 Ram 1500 big horn I saw the new Silverado 2019 for 29,000 no 4x4 v6 engine .. the 4x4 with v8 is to much I said I’ll just keep my old Ram lift it and put some AEV bumpers on it make it look updated and aggressive
Good information. Several have said, Ram has improved their reliability game. Same sources say GM has not fared as well. Ford with the Coyote 5.0, would be my first choice, but that is for buying a truck to use as a truck. If I wanted luxury, Ram would be first pick. That's just me.
I got a 13 Ram Tradesman.. ain't special but hey.. it'll def get the work done and I plan on keeping it and eventually get myself a brand spanking new ram.. I didn't like it after I purchased it but it's growing on me.
Used trucks are in high demand and holding their value quite well. Even at 9 model years! $2000 less on trade, but whats the price difference between the Ford and Dodge?
the ford was about 58 after tax and the Ram in a Laramie trim roughly about the same
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA now you have a tool to negotiate, should you want the Ford.
@@OldeCarrGuy truth is I like the Ram the more I think about it
Friends don't let friends drive fords
I LOVE my 2011 RAM Laramie 1500! wouldn't by another brand, especially not chevy or Toyota.
i have a 2009 laramie with 389000 km on it. i paid 5k for it last year had 383000 on it then. new struts a water pump gasket and trans lines. everyone figures it has a new motor because it runs super quiet but when you divide the engine hours by mileage its average speed per km was 60kmh so lot of highway miles. very little rust. one recall was not done for the shifter lock. you could pull it out of park without stepping on the brake. our baby did that and rolled it into a tree thats how i found out.
The new one appears lower because it has airbags and it was probably lowered.
Bought a new used 4th gen ram love it had 1st 2nd and 4th gen I didn't like the look of the 3rd gens but I almost bought one anyways,the newer ones not Shur about the looks but the options dann!!when I grow up I will be able to afford one!lol
New Ram
$16,500 is about double what I was expecting them to offer you. Wow. My 2013 Hemi Express dropped in value like a rock. I bought it brand new and after 2.5 years when I got rid of it because I out grew the single cab, it was worth $7000 less than what I owed. I couldn't believe it depreciated that fast. Maybe I just didn't get as many incentives when I bought it but I didn't really do much research other than test drive a couple different ones and then made the dealer find one with the color and options I wanted and had it shipped to them.
Scott Long that's because it was a single cab, you can't find anyone that wants one so you have to practically give it away to get it off the lot,
Surprisingly you didn't have a lifter/camshaft problem . On my 2012 sport i currently have 172000 miles and sure i have that problem
Marco Rafael - Are you referring to lifter ticking? My ‘09 Laramie w/ 230K has had that for a while. Paid $18.5K w/ 98K miles on it. Overall it has been a great truck. My only issues have been fuel pump, front wheel hub, and cam / crank sensors.
@@DRPowell oh yes the famous lifter/misfire problem, shortly after that, check engine light will go on, and you will be driving a big 5.7 l v8 same way you drive a small Toyota no power at all. The year of your truck was very common to get that. On my 2012 i thought that they corrected that weak lifter issue, well i was so wrong
That was a limited, not laramie. You can't get those headlights in anything below Laramie Longhorn.
Get a solid ram they are awesome trucks
I bought the same truck in the same color back in 2014 with 55k for 19.5. Love it. Just passed 100k with no problems and plan on keeping it until it craps out. I don’t like what they did to the new rams either.
I just picked up a 18 platinum with the 3.5 and couldn’t be happier, I love the new ram interiors but a little too high tech for me I don’t want to be the one on the hook when 1/12 speakers blow or something lol the ford is a perfect hybrid has everything about right nothing to blow away your socks like the ram interior or the Denali exterior.
And that 10 speed with the 3.5 is just so dahm good.
I owned one in 2014. Regretted trading in my V8 for that shitbox ecoboost v6. Never again. Traded that thing in on a 2017 Laramie.
I hope i can pick up one of these 4th gen 2010 ram 1500 Laramie hemi 5.7 hemi up with decently low mileage like at least 47k miles
What a great video.
A trade-in offer really doesn’t mean much until you see what they’re going to come down on the new truck
I have the 2019 ram big horn 4x4 with 2 inch lift and bigger off road tires mine sits high and it's nice to drive. Fuel mpg 14 mpg at 65 mph my last ram got 21 mpg but tires were different.
The RAM trucks are worth a fortune over here in Australia, I have to change them to right hand drive, even secondhand ones get a good price, a ram in Australia is worth anywhere between AU$120-AU$135,000
New
Wow!
Older ram grills look better than the newer unless the newer is blacked out
I traded my 2014 F150 SLT 5.0 gas, crew cab with about 78,000 miles at my local Ram dealer and got $18,500 towards my new 2018 RAM 2500 Tradesman 8 foot bed, 6.4 HEMI gas crew cab. Having said that, my local Ford dealer would only give me $15,500 towards a 2018 250 SLT with 6.2 gas. So it depends what and where. I have been a Ford truck guy most of my life, but I am impressed with this 2500. The towing is the biggest benefit over the Ford F250. I did not need a diesel since I am not on the road that much. I think diesels in town kind of suck, They are made for the over the road. I think the difference is the RAM dealer does fleet sales whereas the Ford dealer does not. Now these are local dealers in my hometown. Many variables to this scenario for sure.
While i like the older GMs, i dont know how to feel about the new ones. As long as it has a v8 (or a small turbodiesel), and the price is right, i feel that both the ford and the ram would be good trucks even though rams 8-speed is a more proven transmission.
When at some point i can afford it, id trade my ‘10 dakota (3.7l v6, 4-speed auto) for (most likely) a ram ecodiesel or a ford (mini) powerstroke cause ive always wanted a diesel truck, but dont need a 3/4 or 1 ton. That said, the dakotas a phenomenal little-ish truck, just a tad thirsty :).
I bought a 2010 1500st single cab and it is in perfect condition. Leather seats too! I only paid 4k and it's got 189000 on her but she purrs like a kitten. My evaporative emissions thingy causes the engine light on, coffee 0440... Not a mechanic but I had to have it
I have an 09 4.7l. and I agree. don't really like the new front end, Ram could have made the lights wider. it just looks empty unless its all black with the black out.
New RAM.
I would go with ram. But i love dodge ram truck's. Plus there gunna give u more $$ on ur tradin.
The F150 3.5 Ecoboost is a good engine option for towing. and They are Pretty quick. I am gonna be picking up a 2019 f150 with the 5.0 in a couple of months
Dude ram. I had chevy dodge and ford. Long story short I only buy rams now. Careful with the new f150 the door dont latch when its freezing out or shut
Ram!!!
my 2010 is also very high, somehow new trucks are low.
I would choose a Tundra
When I drove a new Ram I didn’t feel any lower than my 14’ that rides on 34s. However the view out the windshield feels smaller or the pillars are bigger or something.
I have 2012 Ram 1500 SLT , traded in 04 Ford XLT LARIAT for it. Use to be a Ford truck guy, Junk now dats. My Ram has been issues free, 92,000 miles no major issues , just basic maintenance done , consumables, wear items. I to have, Looked at Chevy/ GMC as new truck options, but in my opinion, they are way over priced ! Out of my ranch. Keeping my Ram for now, suggestion , keep yours, its paid for and running great, unless you just have drop 60 grand on something new. Me , I’ll buy another Ram in a few years, best trade in allowance and the Best Buy and truck for the money at this time. Good luck.
A new Ram over Ford love what they have did to the Ram from inside to out side I was a Ford guy now I'm a Ram guy for
Dealer gave me $10,500 for my 2005 QC 4X4 HEMI with 276,000 miles. It was a great truck.Love my new Ram, though.
on paper you got $10,500 ---- in real life you got $1,500 -- that's all it would whole sale to small used car dealer's for
You lie. Your 2005 hemi with 275 000 was worth $2500 tops.
@Don Quixote if he said 6k I wouldnt bother commenting. But 10,500? No.
well what kind of shape was it in ? ive seen lots of rams with that milage
Ram man Ram!
Wish I would have saw this 2 years ago. I would have bought your 2010
Built Ford Tough
U should fix up the $500 F150. put in a after market radio. that truck will treat you right.
the air bags are blown on the $500 f150 so we will be doing some stuff with it but driving it on the road again probably won't happen but fun stuff to come
White ram rebel
Ford F150 for sure can you tell I am a ford man? However I looked at the new ram limited and I was impressed. I will test drive the ram and ford when i am ready to buy, but i really like the Ford F150
you are not wrong ford is the most reliable but with the 5.0 v8 non of that eco boost crap tundra would be very close second.
Living in the rust belt myself the aluminium on ford trucks and paired with a reliable 5.0 v8 it will out last the other trucks.
I went Ram for Ram. Of course I upgraded from a laramie Dakota to the new 19 Ram Bighorn. Wish I would've got more options, but 20k less than yours. GL in your quest. PS. wouldn't drive a ford if you gave it to me. : )
