Default Thinking about newer truck

I am thinking I need to upgrade from my 97 Ram club cab to a 3rd gen Ram. I want a quad cab 4x4 with automatic. What do I need to look for when I am shopping. Miles will probably be anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000.

Is there anything major that I should know about and shy away from?

Thanks for any help

He's saying he made the mistake of NOT buying a mega cab.

for that milage your looking at a 05 maybe an o6 the diff. is the front end they went with srtuts on th o6 and refigured the headlight assembly. they got bigger the o7's have detailed tailights and the same suspension as the 06's Get a credit union loan at 5.9% and start your journey , get the carfax and don't beat on it you should do just fine. besides we'll be here to help jic. good luck dude.
