OT::any dodge folks

Got the scoop on a 1500 Ram with the diesel motor? Not a diesel guy, not really a Ram truck guy but I found a good deal while getting my wife's Cherokee now I'm thinking on it. Reduced 10k (asking 34ish)since it's a 16 model, has some pretty good rebates on top of that. I'm in a chevy Silverado now just worried about leaving my "brand". Anybody have one or know about it? I'm not a mechanic by any stretch so thought maybe some of you fine upstanding people may be able to help.

Not a dodge person, but we have a diesel car and the maintenance is way more than a regular gas engine. Just keep that in mind

[Statecoachingblows**]

One of my big hang ups for sure.

general maintenance is more costly, but if you plan to keep it a long time, I think it'd be a wash with the mileage/use you'd get out of a diesel vs a gas engine...

also, you can tow a lot more...

[civildawg]

I do the maintenance on our car so if you are handy at all you can save yourself some money by doing it yourself

Got a 04 ram 2500 and love it. Around 212k miles on it.

I'm good with an oil change and the other basics anything beyond that not so much. Heaviest I haul is a pontoon and some mulch or sand here and there. I'm in gulf shores small town 1.5 miles to work couple road trips a year to Memphis not much further really much further than that...you guys are great I don't care what the bears and the CL say!

Drive a 650 HP challenger the other day. Kept it at about 6500 rpms through the gears. By far the fastest car I have ever been in. I would still rather have a stock 68 rs SS Camaro.

Good truck with a lot of torque for a 1/2 ton and damn good mpg. The 14 and 15 had a issue with something internally in the engine but I think they have that worked out on the 16s

Not a big truck guy, but Ford and Chevy both over built for the market and are offering big rebates also. You might want to cross shop. My wife drives a Toyota Tundra. I drive the 02 Impala we bought new when my soon to be 16 year old son was born and the 1979 'vette I bought in 1987. Have owned 5 Chevelles, 2 Camaros, and a Monte Carlo SS. I'm a Chevy man.

I recently got to drive a 911 turbo S with the PDK, and it's the only car I've ever driven that damn near made me throw everytime I gave it the boot. It's ridiculous

I owned a 3500 Dodge Ram dually, 6 speed manual transmission and Diesel engine. It would pull what ever I put behind it with ease. I still kick myself for selling that truck, I loved it.

I know nothing about the specific truck, but $10k in discounts is nothing special. If it's a leftover '16, you should be looking at 30% off of sticker, at a minimum to be in the "good deal" territory.
