RAM or Toyota — what we actually found
Side by side from 80 RAMs and 757 Toyotas buyers asked us to inspect before purchase. The average car we check scores 61/100.
| RAM | Toyota | |
|---|---|---|
| Cars inspected | 80 | 757 |
| Average condition | 64/100 | 63/100 |
| In good shape (60+/100) | 64% | 57% |
| Holds up to (avg dips below decent) | ~136k mi | ~146k mi |
| Repainted or replaced panel | 63% | 78% |
| Structural repair found | 0% | 4% |

Green = the better number of the pair. Condition reflects the mix of cars that came to us — age, price, model — so treat small gaps as a tie.
Share in good shape (scoring 60+/100) by mileage and by age when we inspected them (each dot ≥5 cars; a band under 20 cars follows the nearby bands, so a run above the all-cars line stays above it, and a band of 20 or more uses the rate we measured; where a band has too few cars, the line follows the trend between the bands on either side; rolled-back odometers excluded from the mileage curve). Dashed grey = all cars we check.
Not enough RAMs at the 5–10 year checkpoint yet to draw a generation trend.
Share in good shape when inspected at the same age (5–10 years, age-adjusted), by model-year generation; dashed = all-brand average. All brands →
