Topeka and Shawnee County, from our dealership on South Kansas Avenue.

The badges are payload classes. The half-ton is the everyday truck: daily driving, a boat or a small trailer. The three-quarter-ton suits heavy trailers, a slide-in camper and regular working loads.

The one-ton is for gooseneck and fifth-wheel towing at the top of the range.

We start from the heaviest thing you tow in a normal year, plus the weight of what goes in it. A trailer weighs more loaded than its dry rating says, and that difference is what moves buyers up a class.

Tow ratings also depend on cab, bed, axle ratio and equipment. We confirm the figure for the exact truck with you.

Size it to the towing you do most weeks. The half-ton is the easier truck to live with day to day. The 2500 is built for heavy trailers you pull often. Tell us what you tow and how often. We will line up both so you can drive them back to back.

Alongside the Ram trucks, we sell the Durango three-row SUV, the compact Hornet and the Charger. We also carry FIAT.

The Durango is the usual answer, a three-row SUV when you need seats and towing. If the bed matters more than the third row, a crew-cab half-ton covers both.

Yes. Our pre-approval form and payment calculator both work from home. Settling the numbers first is the quickest way to shorten the visit.

Yes. We send applications to more than one lender, and each one is looked at on its own. All financing is subject to credit approval.

It is set on your application: your credit, the term and the truck. We write the rate down beside the term before you sign.

On a truck, three count for more than on a car: fuel, tires and insurance. Truck tires cost considerably more than car tires, and a large engine takes more oil at every change. We give you both figures on the specific truck while you decide.

Yes. The credit application is free, and it puts our finance team to work before you arrive.

On a truck, more than on most vehicles. Two trucks with the same odometer reading can have led completely different lives. One commuted. The other hauled at the top of its rating every weekend. Certification means a trained technician has taken it through Ram's 125-point inspection.

The service history above everything else. Mileage tells you less on a truck than on a car. How it was used tells you more than how far it went. If the history is missing, ask us what the truck itself shows.

Yes. The used inventory is not limited to Dodge, Ram and FIAT. Certified stock is listed separately from ordinary used vehicles.

Start with our online valuation for a first figure. Then ask for the trade allowance and the price of the new vehicle separately. You see each number on its own.

Yes, we buy vehicles outright as well as taking trades. Ask for both numbers and choose the one that suits you. If you are trading a truck, bring the service history. It moves the number more than the mileage does.

Not required. Calling ahead means the specific truck you want to drive is here and ready when you arrive.

Sales and service are both open Monday to Saturday, and we are closed Sunday.

It opens well before sales does on weekdays, so you can drop the truck off on the way to work. Saturday runs into early afternoon, and we are closed Sunday.

Ask when you book. Tell us how long you can be without the vehicle. We will tell you what we can arrange for that day.

Yes. Our site lets you enter a few details and choose an appointment time that fits your schedule.

Yes. Our Mopar Express Lane handles oil changes and checkups, so routine maintenance does not cost you a day.

At 2:00pm. Saturday service opens at 7:00am, so a morning booking leaves room for the whole job.

Yes, there is a parts department with an online order form. We sell Mopar accessories and Mopar Performance Parts.

In Ram's towing guide, where cab, bed, axle ratio and tow package set the figure. The door jamb sticker gives payload. Ask us and we will look your VIN up in the guide with you.

We look up the tow rating for your VIN in the Ram towing guide with you. Then start a service file. Book ahead for the first service. On a working vehicle, a complete service history is what protects the trade-in value later.

Up to 11,610 pounds, when properly equipped. That is the top of Ram's 2026 towing chart, for a 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo with a 3.92 axle. Each build carries its own figure. We look it up for the exact truck with you.

The 2026 Ram 1500 offers the 3.6L Pentastar V6 and the 5.7L HEMI V8. It also offers the 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo six, in two outputs. The Hurricane standard output makes 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet. The high output is the performance choice, with 540 horsepower and 521 pound-feet.

It helps you go, and winter tires help you stop. Weight over the rear axle keeps an empty truck steady on ice. The three together are the right answer.

Wash the underbody every couple of weeks in season and have the frame and brake lines inspected in spring.

Yes. Start with the finance office. Bring proof of income and residence. We handle applications case by case. Telling us about the history up front gets you to the workable options faster.

Adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring sized for a truck-and-trailer and the trailer reverse guidance if you tow. Equipment varies by trim and year. We show you what the exact truck carries, including how the blind-spot system covers a trailer.

Yes. Call about the truck you like, and we have it ready. The financing can be settled online, and we write the figure down for you. That way, you make the drive once.

A maintained Ram is a long-lived truck. The service file on a used one shows you how it was cared for.

Qualifying 2026 Ram trucks carry a 10-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty for the original owner. A later owner has the standard powertrain term. That is 5 years or 60,000 miles on gas, and 5 years or 100,000 miles on diesel. So the factory warranty covers the early years. After that, the service file on the specific truck tells you more about reliability than a brand average.

Ask us whether a TRX is in our inventory today. If it is not the one you want, tell us the color and equipment you have in mind. We will look at what we can find for you.

A Ram with a complete service file and every recall closed is the used one to look at.

How the truck was maintained counts for more than its model year.

We run the VIN through the recall system on any used Ram. We pull its service history before you drive it.

The right Ram is the one sized to your real work. A half-ton that stays inside its payload lasts and tows well. A 2500 makes sense when you regularly pull heavy loads.

Tell us what you haul and tow. We will work the payload and tow figures with you before you drive anything.

On any used Hemi, the maintenance record tells you more than the year does.

We pull the oil change history and inspect it before you drive.

The calendar helps twice a year. New model years arrive in late summer and fall. That is when outgoing trucks get the most attention. The end of December closes out the sales year.

Whenever you are ready, we match the right truck to the offers running that month.

Yes, and you can start ours before you visit. We take the application online, send it to lenders and come back with terms, all before you set out.

Applying is free and commits you to nothing. With a rate in hand, you are working on the price of the truck.

Late in the year, and in the quiet weeks after the holidays. Lots are full then, and foot traffic is thin. Trade volume also climbs when new models arrive in the fall, which puts more choice in used inventory.

Tax refund season in February and March raises demand. Condition and service history still decide more than timing, so buy the right truck when you find it.
