20lariat4x4

I was planning on just living with it, but it just pissed me off every time I drove it. Plus the transmission was a little too clunky around town. Everything else about the truck was great.I was just talking with my wife about the shudder with my Ranger and I see your remedy. The more I drive mine the more I think about moving on. Did you trade your Ranger on the Ram? I have been living with mine since September of last year.
I did trade for the Ram. Carvana offered 37,175 with my 5k miles on the Ranger. I paid 38,000 out the door for it new. So that got me looking around, and here I am.
My brother’s had 3 Ram Hemis and drove them all to ~300k before selling with only changing fuel pumps and adding oil (they all burn ~1 quart/10k miles once they’re over about 200k). He knows all their quirks. It’s bigger than I need, and definitely feels it compared to the ranger. But I love it. I feel better about the Hemi than I do a small turbo engine for longevity (keyword “feel”). It’s got the etorque mild hybrid system, auto stop/starts are completely imperceptible and it pushes it to 22 avg mpg if I really try, and it is a 4x4.
