Used Ram in Rome, Georgia

1 used Ram on the lot at 1023 N Broad Street.

If one of these is the one, a call ahead helps. Some of what we carry is kept at holding lots nearby, and a few minutes of notice means the Ram is out front when you pull in rather than about ten minutes after.

The coil spring rear end, and its tradeoff

Leaf springs sit under the back of nearly every half ton pickup sold in this country. Ram broke from that in 2009 with a coil sprung five link rear axle, and had the idea to itself until Toyota followed with the Tundra in 2022. Air springs are optional on some trucks. Take one empty down a broken county road and the difference arrives in the first mile, because the axle is held in place by links rather than by the springs themselves, so it stops skittering sideways across ruts.

Ride quality and payload pull against each other, and the half ton Ram has generally carried a little less weight than its rivals in comparable trim. If the truck has to work for a living, ignore the number the model is known for and read the yellow sticker inside the driver door jamb. It gives the real combined allowance for people and cargo on that exact truck with the options it was built with, and two trucks of the same year can differ by hundreds of pounds.

On an air suspension truck, exercise the system. Run it through its ride heights, listen for a compressor that keeps running too long, and notice whether the truck has settled unevenly overnight. Air springs and a compressor are a heavier repair than a coil, and that is easier to learn standing next to the truck than a year into owning it.
