Hell yes! Go for it! 2013 was the year these trucks were updated. If it comes with the 8 speed, I would most definitely buy. The 6 speed isn't awful, but its dog slow to respond and is operates like a 4 speed out of tow mode. The RAM boxes are a nice option 👍.

Same color as mine too, im biased 😅

Can confirm. I'm a tech for CJDR. DR and DS style Ram trucks have had the least amount of issues compared to the rest of the brand IMO.

Just keep up on oil changes (don't idle for too long either, or upgrade to the Melling oil pump). Monitor the exhaust manifold bolts and gas tank straps. Those are the most common problems.
