So Long GEN 1 guys/gals

Dodge. A friend of mine owned one. He removed the "D" and the "E." I seriously considered a Rubicon when I bought my Gen 2. A service writer at my local garage told me that newer Jeeps kept them very busy.

See ya! I would've went Tremor over a Ram. 84k on a Gen1 is pretty low I would've bought it.

GTFOH!!! Ball joints, knuckles, tie rods, Cvs...or a whole new truck? Which is more expensive?!

84k doesn’t even register as high mileage!

Congrats. I was in similar boat about 10 months ago. I did the shocks, tires, steering rack, spark plugs, new rotors/pads and some other fluids. It wasn't cheap, but still cheaper than a new truck. Not getting rid of my Gen 1.

It’s called maintenance. NBD. A few hundred vs tens of thousands.

124k of “factory” Roush Stage II mileage. Everything is good less some broken belt tensioners on the Roush tune. Since the VMP, all good.

look the guy obviously wanted to downgrade to a dodge. So lets just call it like it is a complete ******* move!!! so when the hunk of crap power wagon starts dropping parts like a bad dump after a hard night out he will understand that maintenance comes in two forms.
Regular and all the time as is the case with a dodge PW.

Nice truck. Like the Power Wagons. Different application than the Raptor but it's a nice truck/the interiors on the new 2500's are very nice.

I get it, some get tired of the same vehicle and want something new. I hope all goes well with your Ram.

I've had 3 FCA vehicles built from 2015 on. No issues with them.

I just went from a 2019 RAM 1500 to a 2014 Raptor and traded up for sure. Was the RAM nice, sure, but I can tell you this, the feeling I get driving the raptor around I never once felt in the ram because they are a dime a dozen. I finally get what the raptor guys have been saying and you would have to pry the raptor from my cold dead hands at this point because I dont ever see myself getting rid of it. good luck with your new truck!
