^^^ And with the only reliable Ram engine offered, the 3.6L.
I've been phoning around. it's hard to find a 3.6l that are not bare bones. they usually have no options and the 9.21 rear diff.
If new, and if they haven't changed their website, try the build and price. It will show you inventory that relates to your build. If used, well yeah browse online inventories or phone around.
Yeah I've done that. I noticed some dealers, the smaller ones, doesn't post all of their used vehicles on Autotrader or kijiji so you have to go take a look on their website. I initially I was looking for $25K-30k$ ish but those are usually at the 100K mileage (2018 to 2019), out of warranty and showing their age, so now I was wondering around the $35k range with maybe 2 years left on powertrain and around the 50K or less mileage. Some ford F150 are descend in price but Ecoboost is a no go and the 5.0L is getting rare. Would prefer the Pentastar as they pretty much are the same in milieage as my old hybrid. Both our vehicles (toyotas hybrid) are over 300ks mileage so it's time to stay away from the beaters. The highlander we will drive until it makes the news lol.
Here's my criteria:
1500 classic Crew cab - Either Classic look or Express in white, dark blue, charcoal or gray- black would be OK.
-3.6 Pentastar - preferably with the 3.55 rear diff (3.21 would be ok but no real benefit)
-Winter package (heated seats, steering wheel and remote start)
-Tech (8"screen)
-rear parking sensors (old hard to find)
I don't tow so this is a family hauler AKA " the mini van for men"
