This is one nice rust free half ton Ram 4x4 with the big 5.7 liter Hemi. Off road towing package.. It was a one owner up until about a year ago. The original owner died and I bought it from his grandson. I was impressed with the smoothness and power and no drips or leaks and obviously was very well cared for. It was not real good on gas which was about 16 to 18 mpg on the highway. So I put in a K&N air filter and started running Mobil one synthetic oil. I also put on dual exhaust with a low back pressure muffler so it has a nice throaty sound yet does not have the ultra noisy glass packs that kids often like. With those changes I can get 20 mpg on a smooth steady highway run. THE GOOD The wheels and tires are UPGRADES off a 2011 Ram and are 20 inch chrome clad OEM wheels and tires. The upgrade throws the speedometer off by a few miles per hour at 70 but I think there is a chip or a reprogram available to recalibrate it but for me that is not a problem. I love the look and the tires only have 9,000 on them so much tread left. ( I still have the original seventeen inch chrome wheels and tires for an extra $300 if you would like them. This truck is my baby and has had the best of everything. It runs and drives perfect wth no drips or leaks. The air conditioning works great. the four wheel drive works great. The are no squeaks or rattles. It has tons of power and pulls my 20 foot trailer like it isnt even there. The back seats flip up with a storage box under each one and also has a flat rack which makes the floor flat for stacking large boxes or object on it. I especially enjoy good sound and the CD player has awesome good sound with four way speakers which is nice on trips. THE BAD I make trips between Minnesota and Texas and so it does have a lot of highway miles yet you would not know it from the function and feel of this truck.The driver seat is six way power seat but does not go up and down, only forward and back but reclines just fine. Parts of the passenger side have been repainted as the doors had to be replaced after an accident knocked off the passenger nerf bar and dented the doors. The nerf bar was reinstalled with new brackets but still has some scratches and dents on it. (new ones are less than $150) Paint and clearcoat matches well and looks good on photos and also in real time. I am selling it without a reserve price and I would consider meeting a buyer within 200 miles of MCallen Texas. I plan to use my toyota Avalon for frequent trips as I no longer have a need to tow anything here in Texas. It is also for sale locally so is subject to this auction being cancelled should I get my buy it now price.
