Looking at '17 3500 Ram

I went with 295/70R18 on mine from the factory size. I did a leveling kit on the front and haven't had any scrubbing issues. I also went ahead and replaced all the shocks since I was already underneath it. My speedometer is off by a 1 mph, nothing big.

OP here. The Ram may need new tires. I have a line on a set of 275/60 20 tires. Current tires are 285/65s. There is bit of a difference in size. The 285s being the larger.

I'm thinking okay? Any tire "experts" or Ram owners that have done this?

Thanks
Scott

$55k CDN is about $41k US, so that's a pretty good price. I paid $37k for my 2015 with 80k miles.

60,000 miles on my 2017 Laramie - mostly towing my toy hauler - drag link fix is the only thing that wasn't operator error caused.

Bought my 2017 laramie, dually, HO, Aisin long bed new in Feb '18 as a leftover.
Once I got the draglink replaced, no problems. About 48,000 miles now.

55k sounds reasonable to me. I expect to get a price on a new 2020 limited from a sales manager tomorrow. When I bought my Ford in 2017 the Ram would have cost about 3k less than what I paid for the Ford. The MSRP on a 2020 Ram Laramie Limited is about 103,700 and a similar Ford has an MSRP of 96500.

Anything I need to look for?

Looks like a very nice truck. I priced out a 2017 Laramie Limited/diesel in the fall of 2017. I was quoted 69k plus tax. I plan on getting a quote on one in the next few days .... my expectation is that the price hasn’t changed much over the last 3 years. What do you have to pay for a 2017 now?

4X4, was that quote for a 4X4 with HO, Aisin, or a CDT with 68RFE? I ask as the sticker price on our new to us 2016 3500 DRW Laramie was $69,005, that is with DRW, Aisin, and Moon roof.
The Aisin was $2,595.
The Sunroof $995
The DRW $1,200

It's a Laramie Limited and the price is $55,560 Canadian dollars. They had it at $59,500 and just marked it down for "Black Friday".

Have it on hold. Going Tuesday to look at it. It's on PEI, I'm in NB. Had a friend there look at it. Front bumper has rock chips and tires should be replaced I'm hoping we can work out a deal.

Let us know what you do about it.
Just an FYI check that the Aisin had its first service at 30,000 miles or 48,300km and it will be due for the second at 60,000 miles or 96,600km.
