Buying the 2011 Dodge Ram
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Dodge Ram for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2011 Dodge Ram, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the Ram
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Room inside
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Ram for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2011 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. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Over to you
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
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 2011 Dodge Ram from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2011 Dodge Ram for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the 2011 Dodge Ram
Does CarmaCars sell the 2011 Dodge Ram?

Can I rent a 2011 Dodge Ram 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 2011 Dodge Ram have recalls?
NHTSA lists 10 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
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.
