As I write this, it is now exactly two years since I purchased my 2016 Ram 1500 Sport. In that time I have racked up 40,000kms (24,800+ miles) on it putting it through its paces, off-roading, towing, hauling, snowboarding trips to the mountain, camping and a couple of road trips thrown in along the way.
