Used Ram Pickup 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.

Overall, this vehicle has been a good purchase. It is great as a work truck and moving material around, but it doesn't get the greatest gas mileage. When gas is expensive, I can really feel it. The engine seems to work great, although it is quite loud and has a couple of odd noises. The accelerates just fine and brakes good as well. The brakes are very squeaky, which is very annoying, but it doesn't seem to stop their braking power at all. The ride is comfortable, but the window opener is right in the way of my leg, which makes it a slight annoyance. Parking is a pain with a truck, but it makes up for it with the amount of construction materials it can easily haul. I wish that the car had a few more features, but it is an older model, and it is expected that things will be broken over time. The truck has a lot of power and can tow a heavy payload. I have not done a lot of towing yet, but based on what I was told and read, it's a strong towing truck. The ride is very high up, which is nice to see the road but can be difficult for kids or smaller people to get in and out of. Overall for the money I spent, I think in was a good purchase.
