How many miles is good for a used Dodge? ›

Typically, no more than 12,000 to 15,000 miles should be put on a car in a year's time. If it has more than that, the vehicle may have incurred too much wear and tear. That means, then, that a used car that is four years old should ideally have no more than 48,000 to 60,000 miles on it.

Now, “STELLANTIS”, as the company wants to be known; in all CAPS. This does not mean Fiat Chrysler is going to change the name of Chrysler or any of the other company names that are a part of the brand. Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati, and Fiat will keep their names.

There's no rule to how many miles on a used car is too much, but by attempting to stick to the 12,000 miles per year rule is a great place to start. Find out how old the car is, multiple the number of years by 12,000, and if the number on the odometer is significantly higher than that, some concern might be warranted.

Multiple factors can increase or decrease a Ram 1500 transmission's lifespan. It typically depends on how well you maintain it, your driving habits, and the environment in which you typically operate it. On average, a well-maintained Ram 1500 will last at least 200,000 miles or 15 years.

If you are comparing the Ram 1500 to the Ford 1500 this year, you'll find that Ford offers a full suite of crash avoidance features that the 2018 Ram doesn't offer at all. Trailering aids include many Ford exclusives you can't find on the Ram.

The Decision to Discontinue

Production officially ended in December 2023 due to the parent company's transition to cleaner and more efficient electric vehicles (EVs) . While this news has certainly caused a ripple throughout the muscle car enthusiast community, it's not all doom and gloom.

So, why did Chrysler break up these two brands? This process allowed for more focused development of new models. Dodge created the Dodge Challenger to compete with the Chevy Corvette sports car, while the RAM lineup could focus on creating more powerful engines and more resilient builds for Spanaway jobs.

Longevity and Durability

The lifespan of a Dodge Charger is another testament to its reliability. Generally, Chargers are expected to last between 150,000 to 250,000 miles, a range supported by user experiences shared on forums and automotive communities.

We discussed that the typical lifespan for a Dodge RAM 1500 is 200,000-300,000 miles. Thus, the high mileage for a Dodge RAM 1500 is around 150,000 miles or over. After this point, the car is much closer to breaking down and more likely to encounter serious troubles.

However, as we've repeatedly pointed out, Dodge Challengers are considered reliable cars that can last for many years. According to the earlier thread on the ChallengerForumZ forum, most owners agree that a used Dodge Challenger with under 100,000 miles is a good buy.

For gas engines, a mileage under 100,000 miles is generally considered good. Diesel engines are often acceptable under 200,000 miles, provided you pay close attention to the truck's overall condition.
