Silverado? RAM? - Page 3

Chevy and Ford holds it's resale value better then Dodge does.

Friend of mine was in the market to buy a used truck and Dodge was always cheaper then the Fords or Chevy's but they (they being used dealerships) also couldn't sell Dodge's very well thus continually lowering the price. Why? I dunno.

If I were to get a truck I'd go Silverado 1500 or as much as it pains me to say it, a Ford F150

1st Ram was a 1996 1500 puchased new and traded in @ 130,000 miles for a new 2000 Ram 1500 that I sold on ebay for $12,000.00 in 2004 with 160,000 miles. Purchased new 2004 chevy tahoe Z71 and traded that in for new 2005 dodge ram 2500 HD 6 months later and still driving the Ram with 196,000miles. No trans problems or motor problems yet. Love my truck!

Gotta admit, I Love the 2011 Camaro just as much now.

4 years since our ram purchase, its worth 6k less, but it has 4x the miles?

Not sure since it is the internet what you ment but I hope that is a good thing?
I just know when he was looking at 2002-2007 like models of Chevy, Ford, Dodge he found the Fords and Chevy's held a higher $ amount vs the Dodges.

Hopefully the newer models hold value better? Maybe that is what you were getting at and if so that is great!

with 90,xxx miles and 4 years later, it is only worth $6,000 less than when it had 20k on it.
I don't think that is bad.

If you are planning to keep it for awhile, Silverado over a Ram. 2 business owners I know used to strictly use Ram trucks...both said the Rams were great at first but overall quality and reliability sucked. They switched to F150s.

F150 FTW!! Check out the Ecoboost engine.

No, not yet. I like it alot though! I bet the two tone seats are nice... This is an SLE, and as far as I can tell, leather isnt available on the SLE with all terrain pkg.

So it has cloth seats but everything else is super rad! The local dealer has 3 just like this. So we will see how the near future goes... They are at about 7K under sticker right now...

I assume you are happy with yours?

Get a ram sport. Body colored everything. Heated and cooled seats heated steerig wheel. It's amazing I love my 2011 sport! If you ever do long trips the cooled seats are amazing I drove 14 hours in 35 degree c weather with leather and had no back sweat!!!
