The Workhorse of America: Exploring the Durability of a Used RAM Truck

A used Ram truck is a solid investment for most people due to its durability, practical features, towing capacities, and reliability ratings. Purchasing a used Ram offers all the benefits of the company in a way that fits better into their lifestyle, especially since these trucks are made to last and perform under all kinds of conditions, from on-road hauling to off-road building.

The Durability of a Used Ram Truck

Same Great Engines

A used Ram still has the same great engine line as a newer model. Ram chooses its engine designs carefully to meet consumer expectations, including exceptional durability. The engine in a used Ram drives the truck’s pragmatic horsepower and torque, allowing it to perform tasks such as hauling, cargo ferrying, animal transporting, construction material relocating, and more.

The engines in Ram trucks have historically been designed for durability. With steel main bearings, crankshafts, and connecting rods, it’s easy to see where the engine’s reputation for near indestructibility came from. For a used truck, that’s a valuable asset that will power the truck for years to come with proper care and maintenance.

Practical Features

Choosing a used truck is also an opportunity for customers to find the features they want and avoid any they don’t. Having the option available to avoid certain features ensures the truck will get more use due to customer comfort, which in turn showcases its durability. There are also feature reviews for customers to peruse. Plus, these reviews are available for all optional upgrades that improve the driving experience without worrying about adding packages during the purchase.

Cargo Capacities

Since used trucks are often more budget-friendly, buyers also have the option to get more cargo capacity. Since one of the primary reasons people buy trucks is for their towing and payload capacity, the option to get an upgrade is appealing. With Ram trucks, all of the cargo capacity people want is designed to be as durable as the truck. For example, the hitch systems are designed to handle frequent hookups.

Reliability Ratings

All used trucks now have reliability ratings available, which is part of how resale values are estimated. These ratings consistently show the durability of Ram trucks, even as far back as the first Rams in the early 2010s. Additionally, reliability ratings often show the components behind the ratings, which allows for greater depth of research into the durability of these trucks.

A used truck is an investment, and the durability of Ram trucks makes them a smart choice for the average consumer. Every year, Ram trucks demonstrate practical features, historical reliability ratings, and more.
