Well back again, if looking at Rams, look for 3500 if planing on towing a 5th wheel. 
look at at least a 2013 or newer as GVWR took a big jump in 2013.

if budget allows look 2015 or newer as they went back a single radiator.

 

Something to consider is how far to look, when we were looking used the selection locally was a little thin. I went to  Car gurus and set distance at 500 miles. We ended up traveling over 250 miles to get our truck.
