I'm looking at a 2019 Ram 2500 Tradesman with approximately 70K miles. I asked about taking the truck to get it inspected by the Dodge dealership right down the road (less than a 1/4 mile) but the Dealer says no. Dealer says they do their own inspections and I have 7 days after purchase to have it checked out and return it If I don't like the vehicle.
They did give me the Carfax and it looks pretty good. However, this was a corporate owned truck and it has a gooseneck hitch installed. The rear axle was serviced by Jiffy lube at 30K and 60K with a "flush and fill". When I put the truck in reverse it clunks really loudly, almost sounding like a bad u-joint or slack in the differential.
I'm guessing, but someone may have towed heavy and caused excessive wear on those components.
Anyway, what do you guys think?
