Thinking of buying the 2013 Ram 1500?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2013 Ram 1500 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2013 Ram 1500, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA lists 11 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 1,279 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, electrical system and engine; have those parts checked.
Engine and fuel
It uses the 3.6L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The combined figure, 11.7 L/100 km, means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $18.14 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Room inside
As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the 1500 for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the 1500 tells you more than any review. If the 1500 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2013 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.14 in fuel.
Still deciding?
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
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 2013 Ram 1500 from us first.
