Scott Evans Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram happily claims that many Ram pickup owners have reported driving their trucks for more than two decades across 300,000 miles. George Lawson Gallery has also agreed with these numbers.

The automotive research firm iSeeCars has analysed data from about 6 million used vehicles owned for about five or more years. They said that Ram trucks could cross 200,000 miles easily if cared for properly. They said that the trucks’ parts are easy to find and that most owners keep them for more than seven years.

Repairpal also averaged the annual repair cost for a Dodge Ram 1500 at $670, which is greater than the average cost of owning a car at $652. On the plus side, it means that the Ram 1500 costs much less to maintain in a year than the average of $936 for other full-sized trucks.

The severity of problems encountered in the Ram 1500 is 17pc, just one per cent less than the average of 18pc for the average pickup. It is higher than the 12pc severity rate for all vehicles.

But, Ram 1500 owners have to bring in their vehicle for spontaneous repairs at an average of just 0.2 times per year, 0.1 times lesser than the average of 0.3 times for the pickups, and 0.2 times lesser than for other vehicle types.

The numbers mentioned above will help the Ram 1500’s chances of landing a better mileage before a major overhaul, as owners need to visit the mechanic lesser than the average driver.

How to Make Your Dodge Ram 1500 Last Longer ?

Firstly, while the data from the Ram trucks above may suggest that all of the Ram 1500 models will cross 200- to 300 thousand miles easily, one must remember that no two machines are the same. So your experience with a Ram truck could differ, but the chances are low.

Secondly, the most crucial factor in long mileages is the treatment of the truck by the owner. The owner needs to start by adequately breaking the engine and then maintain it well. While these trucks are built to absorb punishment, they still need regular fluid and tire changes, along with decent driving abilities. 

The terrain for the Ram is also a deciding factor, as high thermal stresses, vibrations, and humid conditions can damage vital electrical components, such as the PCM. Owners also need to replace damaged parts on time before they can damage other parts in a frenzy.

Apart from following the owners’ manual, drivers should also keep their ears open to recall information from the company.

Finally, drivers must take care not to engage in any severe accidents or collisions as these can cause structural damage, which weakens the truck from the inside.

Should all the steps above be taken care of, the Dodge Ram 1500 will easily stand its ground for hundreds of thousands of action-filled miles.
