2011 Ram 2500 Input

"I ditched the emission system." So wonderful to live in a country where citizens obey the law even if they won't get caught...except for Redwood.

My 2011 has nearly 300k miles. Not one rattle or squeek. It all depends on how it was maintained. I ditched the emission system.

I think in 2011.5 they increased the power ratings.

As mentioned, I think the biggest downside of that model is going to be the MPG. If you look them up on fuelly, they have tracked about 1,200,000 miles. Average MPG is 14.0. If you look at a 2014, they have tracked 3,260,000 miles, and average MPG is 15.7. Percentage wise, that is a pretty big jump.

I have a 2012. Same engine as the 2011. It has been very reliable, but I only have around 70,000 miles. Overall, I am very happy with the truck.

The 2011 doesn't have DEF, so your fuel mileage will be lower. They rely much more on EGR for emissions, resulting in dirtier oil. That means shorter oil change intervals and shorter intervals for other items, such as crankcase filter and EGR cleaning. I also believe it has a little lower power ratings that the 2014. It also has the older frame design than the 2014.

That doesn't make it a bad truck, but those are things to consider when you start negotiating price.

Thats a lot of miles on a 6 year old truck. Was it a hotshot truck? The motor is good for 500K miles, but everything else will need work before that.
