    Hi Everyone,

    As you can see, I have a 2010 Ram 1500 TRX Quad Cab. I have had pretty much every issue you can have in this truck. The worst part is I never beat this truck. Its lucky it has seen a gravel road. Anyhow, the depriciation is getting really bad and I am looking to dump it. I use to have an 01' and 03' Tacoma Access Cab's. One with the four cylinder and one with the 6 in an automatic. My wife has a 06' Rav 4 and keeps making fun of me for getting away from the Tacoma and Toyota in general. So, I am looking at either a new 2013 four door long bed, or, a used 09 or 10 in either a long bed or short bed. I am going to have to use money from my savings account to even things up so the payment is not ridiculous. I just had enough with the ram. Even with the extended powertrain warranty, which does not get you a loaner vehicle is just not worth it. Especially when the dealer is a pain and I am losing value almost daily on this truck. What do you all think?

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Good luck finding the perfect truck.

    They are a great truck, Try and find the best deal you can. Check prices on the internet and speak to the dealers and see what you can work out.

    Good Luck.

    Hi Everyone,

    Thanks for the advice. I bought a 2013 Timberalnd Mica, 4 door long bed tonight. I got an exceptional deal from Apple Valley Toyota in Martinsburg. I pick it tomorrow. I guess I will be looking at accesories. My usual is a retractable cover, brush guard, aftermarket fogs, and the sort.
