Looking for a truck? Not just any truck, but one that’s tough, uncompromising, and with a history of reliability you can count on? Let’s talk used RAM trucks, then, because when it comes to pre-owned vehicles, these are some of the most reliable workhorses around.

RAM trucks have been around since the ’80s. They were part of Dodge until they decided to go solo in 2009, and they’ve evolved a lot during that time, introducing things like the coil-spring rear suspension and the unstoppable Cummins diesel in the heavy-duty models, while still being rock-solid reliable and one of the first names you think of when you think: truck.

These trucks are built tough, with a body-on-frame that’s solid, dependable, and always ready to haul or tow whatever you need. Maintenance? It’s straightforward, which is perfect for those of us who prioritize actually getting some work done.

Engine Choices: One Size Does Not Fit All

RAM gives you options, which is important when you’re looking for that perfect workhorse for family adventures or rugged working conditions. There’s the 3.6L V6 Pentastar for those who like a bit of efficiency with their power, or the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel for when you need that extra oomph. And to go with all that power is tech that makes it all easy to drive, like the Towing Tech Group package you’ll find on a lot of models. Look for hitch lights, Trailer Reverse Steering, and a whole lot more.

More for Less

When you buy new, you’re stuck with the steep depreciation that starts the instant you drive off the lot: but when you go used, you let someone else take that hit. When you’re looking at used trucks, you’ve got the option to check out trims, packages, and features that you might not be able to afford new.

Save the Planet, One Used Truck at a Time

Less new manufacturing means less environmental impact (which is like recycling, but with more horsepower). Most of us aren’t buying work trucks primarily for efficiency – the point is to work – but why add more to the environmental load than necessary? Plus, RAM has been on the cutting edge of making more efficient, yet still powerful, diesel engines for years.
