Thread: Bought another Ram 1500

  1. #1

    Bought another Ram 1500

    Great trucks. The 2010 TRX4 was a do anything truck. Hunting, fishing, camping, hauling...anything I asked of it. The power factor with the Hemi and 3.92 gears was just a beast. But...in salt country, it rusted out to the point of nonsense.

    Last February I saw this 2015 on the lot with only 67k miles. Ram 1500 Sport...all the goodies. No rust, no dents... gorgeous. I couldn't walk away. Anyways, going to be towing our 28' trailer out to Yellowstone this summer.

    Here's a pic

    Thanks. It's a foot shorter than the TRX4 was.

    Congrats on new truck

    I thought you live in snow country not salt. Where does the salt come from? What would it cost to replace /repair salt damage?

    Very nice!!! What great mileage for the age! Congratulations!

    In September, we traded my '07 Dodge Nitro on a '16 Jeep Cherokee Overlander. It had 132,000 km (82,000 miles) and we thought that was good for the age of it. It's white with a tan interior and bells and whistles I didn't even know existed. Handles amazing!!! And was terrific in the snow.

    I assume a lot of snow, a lot of salting the streets.

    Yeah, that's it, snow turns into slushy salt water, gets into everything underneath a vehicle, the difference between a fair weather car and a snow car after 5 years is enormous.
