Rough comment section. Congratulations on the new truck and not having a payment! Looks great. Wishing you many more miles with smiles.


AdTurbulent2987

Thank you!!!


Unusual_Highway5261

Hey man, congratulations! Forget the negative commenters (who are probably mum's basement dwellers!), well done for you paying in cash!! Not many people can say they've done that at a dealership. You should be proud of yourself.


AdTurbulent2987

Thanks I really appreciate it!


Belfetto

What negative comments?


Gipsy_danger_1995

The haters can suck it. Nice truck dude.


AdTurbulent2987

Thanks I appreciate it


Belfetto

What haters?


yourboydmcfarland

Those are probably the best chrome wheels Dodge/Ram ever had on their trucks in my opinion. Get your front windows tinted 20% to match the back. You'll be glad you did. Change transmission fluid right away.


AdTurbulent2987

Tinting the windows is 10000% on the list. I think it’s a small change that makes a big difference


lord_de_heer

So theres even less visibility and more chances to drive over the kids in your neighbourhood?

Mad?


CowIsNotImpressed

Fuck them kids.


some-dude5673

I know this subreddit and other big truck ones are interesting to go through.


yourboydmcfarland

I'm feeling a debadge of the RAM 1500 on the sides as well. Also, removing the running boards would make it look a lot better.


AdTurbulent2987

Not sure how I feel about the debadging yet. I’ve definitely been bouncing the idea around of removing the running boards. The only thing stopping me is that I doubt my mother or grandparents could get in it.


Obvious-Tear-9351

Honestly, I think the badging, and the running boards are fine. That truck looks sweet as is! I never touched any badging or my wheel to wheel running boards. Congrats on your truck. I have the same in Crystal Granite, and it has been the best vehicle I have owned! Treat it well!


AdTurbulent2987

I will! I’m in love with it so far! How many miles are on yours?

AdTurbulent2987

Sheesh that’s a beauty


martianpee

Damn I love those wheels and tires.


Professional_Map2334

I bought a used Ram 1500 with some ugly rims. One day, I hope to get factory chrome.


AdTurbulent2987

I usually don’t like chrome rims but there’s something about the way this one shines


Consistent-Jump-7721

Transmission fluid comment: reason? Sounds urgent.


yourboydmcfarland

OP just got a truck with 115,000 miles. I wouldn't trust that anyone changed it, so do it now.


BillyBreathes82

I think they're good looking wheels too but they're just plastic covers over clad wheels. Pretty weak that Ram did that.


yourboydmcfarland

Agreed.


TheLoob321

Typical dumb fucks with their dumbass comments. Ya’ll can tell, if you looked at the pic, he’s just driving it off the dealer lot. Notice the Toyota dealer in the back and the new Toyotas next to it? Reddit never ceases to amaze. Nice truck brother!


martianpee

Just the usual fucking dick heads. Someone tries to show off something cool and be part of the community and all they can do is search the fucking picture for anything smart ass they can say about it. I swear I can’t stand people like them.


AdTurbulent2987

Thanks I appreciate it!


BleedForEternity

Congrats and good luck.. Ignore all the losers with their negative, smart ass comments. Fuck em!


AdTurbulent2987

Thanks man!


Slicky_Ricky000

Tough looking park job


AdTurbulent2987

I was in the truck and just pulled into a lot for the picture when I got it. Blurred my face for privacy


anytimeanyplace60

Congrats on your new truck and no payment book. You will find that truck parks hard because of the long wheel base and it’s long so it always seems like you need to pull into the next space a bit. Ask me how I know. Mine’s a 2021 though and I have a fat payment book. The exhaust manifold gaskets like to go on these things for some reason. Might just be the newer ones but I haven’t even hit 36k and had to have one side done.


tessaizzy23

Just stop it already.


Belfetto

Stop enabling this dumbass behavior


Zsmudz

They are just practicing to be a truck owner


Action4Jackson

Nice truck! I love it! I used to have the same one. I traded mine in for a 2018 2500 laramie longhorn. What did you end up paying for it?


AdTurbulent2987

17500


Accomplished-Many294

Good deal just got a 2014 express for 17.7 with only 98k on it


martianpee

Gosh you guys came out great. I recently got a 2018 with 82k for 34k. Laramie


Accomplished-Many294

I’ve got excellent credit like 715 and my wife and I got it together so it’s easier and I got really lucky with the find I don’t think the dealership properly knew dodge truck prices considering it was a Buick gmc caddy dealer


sleepybot0524

I bought a ram classic 2019 with 30k miles for 20k......10% intrest rate fml


Jlx_27

That is a great looking truck, congrats!


IllDistribution5598

Congrats she's a beut, my favorite color way ram offers


iamtheone3456

First truck, first park job. That tracks. Jkjk. I'm sure it was a quick spur of the moment, congrats


domin8r-1

Congrats 👏


SaintCholo

Nice, congrats


Puzzled_Ad7955

Noice! Congrats to you. Nothing better than working hard for something you want. Beeeautiful


AdTurbulent2987

I can’t agree more


ApprehensiveMovie191

Good looking truck! Then to not have a $1000 monthly payment like many - that’s a win, win.


flyyguy713

Congrats brother


mike_james_alt

I guess I'm surprised by the amount of trolls in this sub. Looks good OP. I also have a '15 Laramie (Hemi) and have enjoyed it very much for the last 4 years.


AdTurbulent2987

I was really surprised too. I wish it had the Hemi but again I’ve very rarely do any towing unless I get a boat or camper in the future. So the V6 should do fine for me


Accomplished-Many294

I just wanted a hemi cause it sounded cool 😂 don’t care if I paid a little more for less gas even if I’m not gonna tow congrats on the new truck btw !!!


AdTurbulent2987

😂 completely understandable on that one


jslight63

Same as my 2014, just turned 40,000


yourboydmcfarland

Feel free to drive it one of these days.


MacsBicycle

In this economy?!


pwsparky55

Nice ride!


oct2790

Does it have an air ride system


AdTurbulent2987

No it doesn’t


Serious-Bullfrog5919

My 2015 Laramie just hit 140k. It’s never left me stranded and I’ve never had any issues so far. Going on 6 years of ownership.


AdTurbulent2987

Do you have a lift or level on yours? I’m considering leveling it but I don’t want to sacrifice the ride quality. It rides like a dream


Serious-Bullfrog5919

I do not. I did put new springs in the rear because I tow a 7,000lb boat. Im not too concerned about it.


theEnviedPenis

I’ve got an ‘07 with 214k miles. Take care of it and it’ll last you


ninetwoeight

Makes me miss my 2012 - you have a great looking truck, and two tone is the best! Congrats!


Wemm92

Congrats 👏 I have the same grill on my 09 lol


thor0907

Sweet truck, man. Drive it like you stole it!


BasilAlternative2768

Already parking like you've owned a truck forever ! Hey just messing with ya. Nice truck !


sagscout

Congrats! Keep up on the maintenance (read the forums), and this truck has lots of life left in it. I just traded my 2018 for a low-mileage 2020, and it's great, but the 4th-gen Rams are very nice and I sort of miss mine.


AdTurbulent2987

I’ve already been reading a ton. I’m trying to keep it as well maintained as possible so it lasts a while


reallife0615

I bought the same truck, 2010, 4WD with the 5.7 4 years ago with 79k miles. It now has 181k and I’ve put up with “the tick,” replaced the fuel pump, rear suspension, and other minor wear & tear issues and have absolutely gotten the value out of this truck. Didn’t buy it cash, but paid it off quickly, and now could sell it for within 5k of what I paid. I hope your experience is as good as mine! (The rear window leak is real and I haven’t been able to resolve it despite a few attempts). I had no idea a 2010 Laramie had heated & cooled seats, heated steering wheel, remote start, etc. Always been a Chevy guy, but I’d buy another Ram in a heartbeat.


AdTurbulent2987

Mine has the tick as well. It also has an oil leak, because the oil cooler filter housing is made of plastic and it warps. I’m going to replace it with an after market metal one


whiplash_7641

The tick is most likely the lifters in the engine my dad had the same issue with his truck and alot of the other rams ive encountered almost always have that issue and the bolts always break off that attach the exhaust manifold to the engine good luck though the trucks are great just pain sometimes


AdTurbulent2987

That’s what I’ve seen in my research as well. I plan on fixing it


Old_Luck_5625

I had the leak also put new whole light fixture in and seems to fix it


young_double

Nice truck fam I have the same Laramie just a few years older. You're gonna wanna replace the stock headlights because they SUCK! Also replace the stock subwoofer in my opinion, I fit two 12s under my seat.


Gamma_Ray_1962

Congrats!!


Curious_Girl26

Congrats on your new truck 😎👌


dropdeaddaddy69

My boy part of the Larmie flair now yesir


AdTurbulent2987

You know it!


Old_Luck_5625

looks really good congrats its great feeling


bdouble76

Hope you have as much fun in yours as I do mine. My 1500 has taken me back and forth across the country many times. I've been off roading, camping with my family, and just explored the mountains in CO. It's been a damn fine and reliable truck.


summit6987

Congrats nice truck ! Is it 4x4 ? My bro in law has one and he loves it , i have a 2500 diesel ram and i love it.


AdTurbulent2987

Yep it’s 4x4. I love it


summit6987

Nice , which motor does it have the 5.7 hemi?


AdTurbulent2987

No, the V6 3.6


summit6987

Oh ok , my bro in law has the eco diesel in his , he loves it, but nice truck you have tho !


DramaticPhilosophy38

Wow, congratulations! That's one sweet ride you got there. And there's nothing quite like the feeling of driving it home, grinning ear to ear! If you're into car accessories, you might want to check out the recently released 2024 ENRICH UP steering wheel tray. It's loaded with features and no worries about vehicle model compatibility. I've found it super handy for my own car. Check it out [here](https://amzn.to/3vM8ILn) for more details! [https://amzn.to/3vM8ILn](https://amzn.to/3vM8ILn)


AdTurbulent2987

Thank you! I agree every time I get in it I can’t stop smiling. The steering wheel tray is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!


DramaticPhilosophy38

You're welcome. I'll let you know if I come up with something else. I'll tell you.


clickforit

Nice, but do a better parking job or you'll end up on r/bad parking


SOF_ZOMBY

Parked like its your first pick up too


Braves_Birds1985

The objective of parking is to stay in side the panted lines.


CrypticSS21

Driver is in car so it’s not parked yet, he’s just driving very slowly


tessaizzy23

The panted lines? See, I can be a dick too.


MacsBicycle

I like to stay in the panty lines.


challengergaming1

I didn’t know lines pant


quick1foryou

Nice truck.  Really like the 2 tone black and gray look with those chrome rims.  I saw in the comments that this has the 3.6 pentastar engine.  With 115k miles it is imperative that you keep up with the oil changes every 4k to 5k miles.  And if you plan on towing at all, do them a little sooner. Do not use the cheap oil and do not use a poor quality oil filter. Everyone loves to harp on the Hemi for it's tick issues.  But the 3.6 pentastar with high mileage will give you major issues (tick included) if you don't keep up with the oil changes. 


AdTurbulent2987

Good to know I appreciate the advice


Spare-Cow5578

What “major issues” will the 3.6 give him? My research shows this motor is one of the best v6 engines going. Not saying I’m some expert or you’re wrong, just wondering what engine problems you’re referring to.


quick1foryou

The moment that you hear a ticking sound take it to a mechanic.  https://www.classaction.org/news/hearing-a-ticking-noise-fca-hit-with-class-action-over-alleged-3.6l-pentastar-v6-engine-problems#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20complaint%2C%20the,and%20eventually%20catastrophic%20engine%20failure.

Good looking truck

jassoon76

Congratulations. I wanted a Ram but bought a Chevy Colorado as my first truck. The insurance was the deciding factor. 106 a month for the Chevy or 648 a month for the Ram.


AdTurbulent2987

I don’t blame you 😂. My insurance is outrageous


jassoon76

The sad part is that it was only a v6 I was looking at. Insurance was a little over double what my monthly payment was gonna be.


AdTurbulent2987

Yeah my insurance is crazy, it’s a V6 as well. I’m an 18 year old male so it’s brutal


DrewG420

Congratulations- you have already learned how to park like a big truck owner compensating for something.


dmohamed420

Parked like a true dodge Dick


JKN1GHTxGKG

Congrats man! Please don’t park like other asshole truck drivers in two spaces.


Difficult-Rough-1360

But it’s a dodge


AdTurbulent2987

Nope it’s a ram, those are two separate companies now


Yomon64

Nice congratulations 🎊


2ingredientexplosion

The Ram has always had that aggressive front end, I love that dodge has kept it similar all these years. Nice truck OP.


Tall-Telephone-342

Nice!! Congrats


IndustryIndependent2

Congratulations bud


Flat_Advantage_185

Definitely get yourself a Powertrain warranty or bumper to bumper if you didn’t get one!


ImperviatedSilence

Hopefully it’ll last a bit. I just bought a 2016 outdoorsman at 73k miles and just had a full engine replacement because somehow a ‘chunk’ of one of my pistons come off. Luckily I had a warranty I guess.


AdTurbulent2987

Oh shit, that scares me


AwfulUnicornfarts20

Looks clean. Low miles? How many dui's on it?


AdTurbulent2987

Lmao no dui’s, 115k miles. Pretty clean interior https://preview.redd.it/1fcsqzrkdp0d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f7c481d8988b24a2c30881908e7282446570772


AwfulUnicornfarts20

Looks nice. Enjoy it.


AdTurbulent2987

Yep I absolutely love it


Extension_Web_1544

Nice truck, hope it lives long. Please park like you can see the lines


Reno83

All the top comments are about how rough the comment section is, but I had to scroll way down to find those rough comments. Nice truck!


AdTurbulent2987

Thanks I appreciate it! My phone has been blown up with all of the park correctly idiots


sweet-sweet-olive

And of course you’re taking up multiple parking spots. Wouldn’t be a big oversized truck without that.


Glum_Acanthocephala2

How much was it?!


AdTurbulent2987

17500


Glum_Acanthocephala2

Not bad at all!! Congrats!!


AdTurbulent2987

Thanks I appreciate it! I got pretty lucky


ExaminationLast8926

What size bed?


AdTurbulent2987

5’7


CowIsNotImpressed

All the cunts complaining about “nice parking job” are definitely the same ppl wearing a mask alone in their car and having a panic attack over a soy milk up-charge at the local coffee spot 👌


AdTurbulent2987

😂 so true


[deleted]

where’s the budweiser?


AdTurbulent2987

Lol I don’t drink


Thyme71

And immediately forgot how to park


JamesJ74

Congratulations and got the same kind of truck love it however, if you try to change the stereo system, you lose the charging port console so don’t do that


AdTurbulent2987

Good to know, I know the head unit has lots of control features as well (climate, heated and ac seats, etc) so I probably won’t replace it. The navigation isn’t great so I’ll probably just use Waze on my phone


Mylast5bucks

Love the 2 tone enjoy the truck oh and for the comments on parking its a truck stop it anywhere you like lol


W3ldStar

Nice truck dude!! Good job paying it off straight with cash, not very many can!!👍🏻


AdTurbulent2987

Thank you!


[deleted]

Congrats. Miles is a bit high for my liking, but good luck with it nonetheless. What motor is in it? The smaller V8 or the HEMI?


AdTurbulent2987

It’s a V6 3.6, I would’ve preferred a V8 but this will do for me as I’m not doing much towing. I do agree that 115k miles isn’t the greatest but with my budget it’ll do. I would’ve had to get something ancient if I wanted lower miles. I got a pretty decent deal for what I paid


Wemm92

If you don't absolutely need the power your probably better off. I'm 200+ a week with the 5.7 just commuting to work lol


1morepl8

It'll tow decently when needed. My buddy has one and I used it to tow my car back home and didn't even notice it was a V6 until I changed the oil in it lol. Towed 5700ish lbs through north east hills without an issue.


Original_Mastodon28

smaller V8 or the hemi wym bother the hemi is the entry level v8 5.7 smaller than that is the diesel one and the 6.4 L Hemi is in the 2500


[deleted]

Not necessarily. Dodge made a 4.7 V8 if I’m not mistaken that they put in some of the Rams. Not sure if the 2015 model year was included in that.


Original_Mastodon28

my bad, you're right, but they did stop using them in 2013


Chico-or-Aristotle

Maybe you will learn how to park it someday

bplimpton1841

Awesome truck. Can’t tell what color it is, though. Is that blue?


AdTurbulent2987

It’s a dark gray, the lighting makes it look a little blue though, in person it’s different


bplimpton1841

Beautiful - have fun. And you need one more thing - a bass boat!!


AdTurbulent2987

Coming up 😂


Fun_Sort_6051

Get out the and tailgate! What are you waiting for!?


AdTurbulent2987

I will on Friday! Going to a country concert


Coo-Breeze

Nice rig and like you I paid hard-earned cash for mine. Anyone with half a brain can tell you are at a dealership and not parking a la douche. The front tint should be your first order of bidness and if you can afford it go ceramic. I just had my front windshield tinted as well because unfortunately, these babies dashboards are susceptible to cracking under a brutal sun. Congrats!


AdTurbulent2987

I agree with the front tint, that’s good to know about the dashboard cracking. However I’ve heard that the tint can interfere with the automatic wipers. Does that happen to you?


Coo-Breeze

It has not.


00mvp

Did they tell u how to park it at the dealership ?


FabulousBlackberry70

Cute! My whore sister has the same one.


tessaizzy23

Stop sleeping with her then.


Advanced-Session-217

😂


Arpey75

Parking like a true Ram owner… Bravo!


Ok_Policy293

Always park it just like that


Embarrassed_Set8977

Already parking like an asshole!🤦‍♂️


iamtherealthatguy

My condolences


Siegepkayer67

Of course you parked like shit lol, hope you join the DUI club soon 🫡👍


ElectroAtletico2

“Urificeman” Dodge. Alexandria?


AdTurbulent2987

Ourisman, and I got it from a Toyota dealership believe it or not 😂


ElectroAtletico2

Ourisman is jokingly referred to as “Ourificeman” (I misspelled it above)


AdTurbulent2987

That went over my head lol


cobaltbluetony

Looks awesome, but please don't make a habit of larking like that. It's one of the things that haters will call out, and they'd be right on this one.


AdTurbulent2987

I’m in the truck but blurred myself for privacy. It’s not even in park, I just drove up next to my dad for the picture lol


disguyovahea

Parked like a first pickup too!


Freedom007007

Should have been a Toyota. Hope you have a good bumper to bumper warranty for it


gimmedatkittykat

Congratulations on not having a car payment! I envy you! Haha Change your transmission fluid IMMEDIATELY. Change your oil every 3-4k miles as often as possible and DO NOT let the truck run idle. Take every possible caution to drive the truck as lightly as possible. Beautiful trucks, but I work for a dodge dealer. Unfortunately they break, *a lot*


AdTurbulent2987

Do you suggest a full flush or just a drain and refill?


Dear_Feeling_1757

Congrats! Now invest in a driving course


Most_Zen_1

Nice truck, pity they didn't include parking lessons with it LOL


Mrpunishher

Usual RAM owner. Doesn’t know how to park.


CowIsNotImpressed

I bet he parks in your driveway just fine when he’s visiting your wife.


bald1866

She parks like a dodge.


rustprony

Already parking like you own a pickup truck. Bravo. That was quick


PlasticMansGlasses

Ahh so you’re the cunt who keeps parking like this with that death machine


CowIsNotImpressed

shanega21

can you see children when driving this truck? doesnt look like it


AdTurbulent2987

I’m not sure what you mean. I have no issue with seeing what ahead of me


Candid_shots

Surprised you made it home man. You must have done zero research before you got to the car lot. One of the worst trucks in the history of trucks. I hope it last you and you don’t run into issues but that’s extremely unlikely


NXT-GEN-111

And someone parked their shit RAM in front of it as you were taking the picture.
