find me another vehicle that has the same features capabilities as a Ram HD for its price, heck even just a regular Ram 1500 Limited. I can go out and buy one brand new etorque 4x4 right now for $55k. Show me any car/crossover that has all that for 55k

its not just the ranger, the other major ones (colorado, canyon, tacoma) have the same fate, its due to different crash regulations for vehicles that are below/above 6000#

Do you mean the older versions of these trucks?

Because the modern midsized trucks are actually over 6,000 lbs GVWR (except for the Tacoma)

If you can buy a loaded 1500 limited for 55k, i'll shake your hand. The limiteds dont have the same incentives as the Laramie and down trims. You might get one for 60, mayyyyybe 57.5k, but you wont hit 55k. I got 16k off a laramie and was still at 46k.

4x4, Level 1 equipment, panoramic roof, skid plates, doesnt have etorque or the 22" wheels (not a fan of). Etorques are rare right now. Im sure you can still negotiate further off this price

i never mentioned fully loaded, just loaded. Limiteds dont have a Level 2 because the 12" and a bunch of other things are standard on Limiteds. Advanced Safety Group is a stripped down Level 1 without hte H/K audio and other things. The one I linked has all the major options besides etorque, 22" wheels and rambox.
