- Me_AgainExplorer IIII year ago we bought a brand 2015 3500 4x4 Laramie with everything(park sense, park view, full console, Nav, Aisin tranny, side steps) but the sunroof and bed view camera for only 10K more than this high mileage one. Given that financing is easier and has lower rates on new vehicles, I would look for a similar new 2016.
BTW it took me 4 hours to install the four pucks and wiring harness working by myself. With a helper I could have done it in 2 hours or less. Chris - rhagfoExplorer III

Sounds like a hotshotter's rig to me. If that's the case, those are 100k HARD miles.
:h
Well OP stated no Puck, or GN hitch, so if Hot Shottter's TV, they were only pulling TT, so not hard work for a Ram 3500.
The miles are nothing, the price is way too high. - Cummins12V98Explorer III

Kinda funny. I just heard my first million mile report in person (rather than reading it on some Web page) this past weekend.
I was in line for the dump station at Custer State Park when a gentleman wandered up and complimented me on my truck. Said his brother hauls RVs for a living with almost the exact same truck, and has 1.1 million miles on it.
Nice guy. No way of verifying whether it was actually true or not. But then, since I only average about 8k a year, I'll never live long enough to push a million miles anyway.
Just look at the Cummins High Mileage Club, lots of them. - bobsallyhExplorer IIThe mileage on the odometer wouldn't bother me, as mine has 212,000 on it. But since you like or want bells and whistles (fluff), this is the stuff that becomes a PITA over the years. I know I wouldn't pay that price!

I still get a chuckle everytime I hear the million mile stories. I do understand most of would never get to that many miles but some have done it.

chevman - WTP-GCExplorerDefinitely a hot-shot truck. Looks brand new inside because many hot-shotters pull out the factory seats and put in their old ones. Or sometimes they put seat covers on. Is the spray-bedliner fresh? Could be a sign that the bed was used hard and then covered. No pucks, but is there a GN ball?
Too many miles for such a young truck.
Too much money for this truck.
I paid about that for mine with flatbed and 20K on the clock. - ThreebigfordsExplorerI would worry more about the miles than the price.
