Buying the 2017 Ram 1500
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2017 Ram 1500 for sale by us right now. Buying the 2017 Ram 1500 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the 1500
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 13 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Under the hood
The engine is the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Plan on about 31 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.4 L/100 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $16.12 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The 1500 in everyday use
As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.
Best uses
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits moving day, renovation runs and anything that needs an open bed.
Try before you buy
A test week in the 1500 tells you more than any review. Rent the 1500 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 1500 answers the big questions.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.12 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Your move
Want to try the model first? Send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2017 Ram 1500 from us first.
Find me this car

Can I rent a 2017 Ram 1500 before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Does the 2017 Ram 1500 have recalls?
NHTSA lists 13 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
What does the 2017 Ram 1500 cost in fuel a year?
EPA puts it at US$4,150 a year for 15,000 miles at its fuel prices; at our price setting, 20,000 km cost about $3224.00.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
