Time to trade in?
Hey fellow Ram owners,
So figured I'd start a discussion to try and process my thoughts, and see if It is time to start looking into trading the truck in. Been rocking a 2014 for 9 years and absolutely loved it. Got it with 15k miles and have put on another 110 in that time while enjoying being paid off for the past 6 years. Over that period been overwhelmingly solid. Only repairs have been a fuel level sensor, a water pump, and a bad radio (the aux stopped working just got an fm transmitter and have been happy since it was out of factory and not about to pay $600 to replace it) other than regular maintenance I'm a big believer in the naturally aspirated, and it seems like more and more manufacturers are moving towards the turbos and in my mind that is just adding another point of failure. I'm also at the point where I work from home and really only put 3kish miles a year. So it doesn't need to be traded in, but these prices are getting back to almost conceivable, and not in the astronomical range. Recently we did have to get the Mrs a new car and the tech is pretty amazing in comparison so it is making me kind of jealous. I'm at the point where I'm contemplating making the change now vs waiting until something does end up going wrong and I'm forced to make the change. So wanted to see if anyone else is in this situation, or thinking the same thing now that Ram has proven they've got the best half ton transmission, with the 8 seed hockey puck, and they have the glut of vehicles they are starting to drop the prices. For extra context, know the picture of the new truck is the 3.6 and not the 5.7 but for my needs the 3.6 would be fine. Towing wise just have a pop up now, eventually want to get a 3k pound travel trailer, but that's down the road and I feel like the 3.6 would be fine for that. For trail riding have calmed down since the single days as well so light off roading/camping.
