Selling Takes Time

Selling a used Dodge Ram 1500 means photos, listings, calls, test drives and paperwork. Many owners don't want the hassle.

Donating Is Simple

With a donation, you get a free pickup and the Ram 1500 helps veterans. You may also qualify for a tax deduction.

About the Ram 1500

Ram became its own truck brand, separate from Dodge, in 2010, so older trucks may say "Dodge Ram" on the title while newer ones say "Ram." Either way, it can be donated. Just tell us the year, cab, engine and whether it is 4x4.
