Title: 3rd-gen Ram buying guide
Post by: JackJohn77 on June 21, 2019, 10:02:24 am
I am looking into getting a 3rd gen ram (1500 or 2500) and wanted to get some input on what to look for. My pops had an 04 2500 for a long time so I know about the surface rust problems on the rocker panels and wheel wells but he has well over 200,000 miles on it without anything major going out on it. So I guess my question is did he just luck out or are there things to look out for in this year range? Most of the trucks I am looking at in this price range have less than 100,000 miles, but there are some good deals on trucks with just about 150,000 and will save a couple grand. Would any of you go through with buying a 150,00 mile 3rd gen?
