Used Ram 1500 for Sale

My quad cab model is an absolute beast of an animal, in other words it has a lot of power. I love how much cargo it can hold. This year I have been renovating our house for sale and it has carried everything I need it to. There have been no trips to the hardware store where it has failed to do what I need it to. That was one of the many pros about the Ram 1500 2016 model. One of the few cons, which I was sad to find, was the start system failed and I had to have it towed to the dealership and pay $600 to fix it... including the tow. But the good outweighs the bad. Another pro is that it can carry a lot of weight. For one part of the renovation to my house I had to haul 2,000 pounds of bricks. The truck did not slow down from the weight at all. It was like a 1/2 a inch down, but that was to be expected. The V6 engine had enough power to do anything I wanted. I don't tow a lot of stuff, but it did it smoother than what I was expecting when I did tow and with no drop in power.

When I first got the truck 300 miles from Central Colorado to Southern Wyoming, my rear brakes starting squealing with moderate to heavy braking. Also when first pulling out in the morning for the first time, it moves, but it makes this god-awful rubbing noise. Always makes the horrible noise in reverse, however. This problem still at 20,000 miles, hasn't been fixed at all from three different dealers I've gone too, and it's really loud and annoying. I noticed that the leather on the steering wheel at the bottom wasn't lined up on the bottom. It's something small but it bothered me. I mentioned this to the dealer and they did nothing about it. (We'll come back to the steering wheel in a while) Also, the top center storage compartment squeaked when opening, closing and putting any weight on it. Dealer applied some kind of lubricant and it fixed the problem, till recently (I think the cold did it) and it started again. Also, like all three other Ram trucks I've owned and bought new. I had to get an alignment at 2,300 miles. I was on a dirt road and hit a bump hard. Got this message on the gauge display "Active Tuned Mass Module Temporarily Unavailable" this continued for about three days and came up every 30 minutes on the dot. Dealer found that I broke the motor inside of the drive side module and replaced it.

I love to drive my Ram 1500 it has a very powerful engine that really carries itself well. It has been up to any and all towing and hauling tasks I have put to it. It has a very smooth suspension system that lets it glide down the highway like a much smaller and sportier sedan. It has tons of leg room in the back seat, which is a must for my family because we are always needing more storage space in our vehicles. It gets decent fuel mileage for a vehicle of its size and weight, I suspect because the large V8 has enough power to easily pull it around without sweating too much. I do have a couple of complaints about the vehicle though, and maybe it is more of a concern to be taken up with the manufacturer than just this single pickup. There is too much road noise. I have driven several different Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep products and they all seem to be little noisy. It isn't so noticeable when the radio is turned on, but with the a/c on low and the radio off it can become a little bothersome. And since we are taking about the radio I'd like to bring up the bugginess of the electronic system. For whatever reason the infotainment system missed a cellular data update and the whole system went crazy. I could not connect my phone via Bluetooth for either calls or to play music. The assist button wasn't responsive and the 911 emergency phone button was unusable. I had to manually go to their website and download an update to a flash drive, and go install the update with instructions from YouTube. Very frustrating. On a more positive note, I had owned the pickup for a while and discovered some new storage options I did not previously know I even had. There are hidden compartments under the floor mats in the back seat. And there are even fold out floor levelers that come out from under the seats when you fold them up. They allow you to make the whole back seat a level place to store whatever luggage/ cargo you may be carrying. Very nice.
