If you're weighing a 2018 Ram 1500, the short answer is yes — it earns a look for spacious crew cab with rear legroom, and four-wheel drive standard—ready for any terrain. The honest trade-off: base cloth interior shows wear quickly. This example sold for $22,995, showed 160,022 km and is rated an official 10.8 L/100km combined.

What to check before you buy

  • When shopping this trim, verify maintenance records and inspect the undercarriage for rust, especially if the truck has towed or worked regularly. Check that four-wheel-drive components engage smoothly and confirm the bed floor for wear. Compare insurance quotes early—crew cab 4x4 trucks carry higher premiums. Budget for potential brake or suspension refreshes depending on mileage and use.
