2015 Ram 2500 on 2040-cars
Romance, Arkansas, United States
More details at: scottsccovitt@ukcharities.com .
Here is my 2015 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4x4 with the 6.7 Cummins. Truck only has 14,767 miles on it. This is the
tradesman edition however I have added several accessories to help dress it up. Dealer installed: chrome step ups,
cab lights, spray in bedliner, bushwacker fender flares, chrome bug shield, chrome exhaust tip, chrome door handles
and mud flaps. Truck also has a fifth wheel hitch.
I purchased this truck in March of 2015 from Landers Dodge in Benton, Arkansas. This was my first new truck. I had
planned on keeping this truck for many years. The truck is very strong and gets great fuel economy and looks good.
It was purchased to pull my 26 foot three stall horse trailer. It only pulled the trailer with 3 horses in it
twice. The other times were just my two horses. With just two horses in it, the combined weight of this trailer
is around 7,000 and with three horses, approximately 8000 pounds. This is the heaviest load this truck has ever
pulled. The truck also pulled a 7000 pound camper about 20 miles. Truck has never been off road or never in mud.
The closest thing to mud this truck has even seen was when I hauled some hay with the truck and the horse pasture
was a little wet. It was washed right after. I have driven the truck to Texas twice and twice to Branson,
Missouri, both trips were made not pulling anything. Each trip, the truck averaged between 22-23 mpg.
Cosmetically this truck is perfect except for the front hood. On June 6, 2015, I was travelling down the
interstate when the guy in front of me ran over a 2x4 and it came up and hit my hood. It did approximately $400 in
damage. (see pics) That is the only damage to the vehicle. There are NO door dings or dents or sratches on any
other part of the truck that I have seen. Im always very careful where I park my truck.
When the truck had 6500 miles on it, I took it back to the dealer to have the break in oil changed and tires
rotated and the fuel filters changed. These trucks have 2 fuel filters. They changed the oil and rotated the tires
however the mechanic told me I was wasting my money if I replaced the filters this early. He said its not needed
till 15k miles. So it will need the two fuel filters replaced soon. The first oil change was not recommended
until 15k miles as well but I strongly believe in changing the oil the first time early.
The interior has no rips, tears, stains, etc. It still smells new. All glass is 100 percent. I have bought
several vehicles online including one just two months ago. I bought a 2002 GMC 2500 4X4 to replace this truck.
That truck was more scratched up in the person than what the pictures showed the vehicles to look like so I
understand buying a vehicle online. If you need a certain picture of any part of the truck please let me know.

Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns
Wed, May 4 2016These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.
Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks
Thu, Jan 22 2015Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.
