Used Dodge Ram 1500 for Sale in Gainesville, GA

We purchased this vehicle brand new. Overall, the truck has held up well. We have had no major issues with the vehicle. I love that it has a V8 engine so the power is there when I need it. The turning radius leaves something to be desired, sharp turns are not possible.

I bought the Dodge Ram because I wanted to have a pickup, and the one I really preferred, the Toyota Tundra, was too expensive. So I settled for the Dodge because it was available at a much cheaper price than the Toyota. It was a short bed, two-door cab with only the limited bench seat (no second row), a two-tone blue and gray. It came with the 5.2L engine, which at the time was okay because gas prices weren't too bad for the time. It was pretty dependable for the first three years, but once it passed 150k miles, it started having problems. It was in the shop multiple times for various problems, all having to do with the engine. Tranny was fine, and everything else mechanical was okay. Also, the paint job started to peel by the second year I owned it. Within a year, the hood and entire front looked wretched.

My Dodge Ram is still, after 13 years, full of power. The motor is still very strong. I only have 185,000 miles on it. I think I can get 400 or 500 thousand miles out of it. I am very pleased with the quality of this vehicle. The only thing I have replaced, outside of normal wear and tear stuff, was the rear end. I replaced it at 150,000 miles. I have moved many family members in my truck. My truck has been nick named "Big Red." My wife said it was time for me to get a new truck, and I told her I didn't want one. I would drive this truck till the wheels fell off.
