When it comes to hauling heavy loads or towing boats, RVs, and trailers, you’d be hard-pressed to beat a RAM truck. These powerhouse pickups are fantastic choices for work or heavy-duty recreational activities. And with a used RAM truck, you gain many additional benefits, as outlined below. 

The Ultimate Workhorse: Why a Used RAM Truck Makes Sense

Superior Towing Capabilities

If you’re shopping for a pickup, you probably have some serious hauling and towing tasks in mind. RAM engines are built with enviable torque, delivering enormous towing capacity. You’re also supported by a whole range of sophisticated towing-support features, from air suspension systems for easy hitching to trailer reverse steering, trailer brake control, trailer tow mirrors, and more, all as standard or available on RAM’s generous range of models and trims. 

Extremely Reliable, Durable Trucks

RAM trucks are not only powerful, exceptionally comfortable, and technologically advanced, but they’re also built to last. These trucks take rugged durability to the extreme; they just keep going and going, no matter what you put them through. This makes them superb pre-owned options, where reliability and longevity are all-important. 

Extra Assurance From History Reports

By checking the vehicle history report, you can also ensure that the previous owner of any particular truck kept up with routine maintenance. This lets you rest assured that the truck is ship-shape and ready to serve you well for many years ahead. In addition, we carefully test every RAM with a thorough multipoint test before accepting it onto our lot.

Skip the Initial Years of Depreciation

RAM trucks are true top-of-the-line pickups and naturally command a respectable price when new. This puts them out of financial reach for some drivers and budget-conscious business owners. 

Buying a pre-owned RAM that’s still in superb condition is a great solution for many. Like all road vehicles, the bulk of a RAM’s depreciation takes place during the first few years, which means you can often find a wonderful pickup for 30 or 40 percent less than its original starting price. 

Save Money on Insurance Premiums

You’re also likely to save money on your truck’s insurance premiums. When calculating how much to charge, insurers consider a truck’s current value, which is the discounted figure you’re paying. 

Greater Range of Models and Features

As you’re browsing used models and trims, your options include RAMs from recent years, including discontinued editions. This is a much broader selection than a new-truck buyer has access to. You’ll also learn which available features previous owners have already installed, which adds even more range to your options.
