I’m sick of my crappy truck and want to upgrade to something that can tow and handle Michigan winter driving.

This is a 2012 r/t, 52000 miles, with a v8 & AWD. Dealer wants 25k.

Anyone have experience with these? Anything issues you’ve heard of to lookout for while on the test drive or when giving it my personal Jalop inspection?

Only if you get black rims.

Go for it! Mileage is a little high (13,000 a year) but about right for the price. The 5.7l runs fine on regular and midgrade tops out the performance. Only maintenance should be spark plugs, oil, and tire rotations for the next 50k miles.

My mother used to drive one, actually a very good SUV thing.

Rented a 2015 for a week. It really shows it’s a Merc GL underneath...nice, smooth, composed ride, lots of room in all three rows, good power delivery (it was the 3.6/8AT – I don’t doubt the HEMI’s power for a second). It’s very practical in all respects and looks good in the right colors. Go for it, I say.

I have no experience with them but our CEO’s daily driver is a Citadel edition so they must have something going for them. Well something more than just the fact it’s on the company dime.

I love mine.

2013 V6 Crew. We have an 18ft ski boat that it tows just fine. Had it about 2 years now. Zero issues.

Our boat + trailer is under 4000# so I can live without the Hemi. I was planning on a trans cooler but it has a temp gauge in the menu so I just watched that. Never topped 190 degrees so I skipped the cooler.

Does fine in snow on the all seasons. Traction and stability seem to work fine. I try to hoon it but the nanny says no.

It devours interstates. Between the Mercedes chassis and the seats, I never get out.of the truck fatigued. 12 hour days are no trouble.

Would buy again.

I have to recommend Toyota. Depending on your needs, a Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia, or 4runner would be perfect for you.

What truck do you have now?
