This truck will sell after the first bid, and the final bid takes it. If you bid and have zero or negative feedback, please message me before the auction ends. We bought this Dodge Ram on eBay in 2009, and have spent the last two winters being full-time RVers pulling a 5th wheel and traveling in the south. It has been fun, but we are back in a stick house and the truck is for sale. This Lone Star Edition was originally sold new in Waco, Texas. We bought the truck from a young man in Kingman, Arizona. We have put about 30,000 miles on the truck in the two years we have driven it. It has the larger 6.7 liter turbo diesel engine, and a six-speed manual transmission. It is 2 wheel drive truck. It pulled our 38 foot 5th wheel easily, and returned 11-13 mpg while loaded. The truck will get a solid 20 mpg when unloaded. The truck is equipped with a factory exhaust brake. We found this extremely useful when traveling through the Smokie Mountains! The truck is equipped with an electronic brake control for the trailer brakes as well. We had new front brake pads and new Firestone tires installed before we headed south last fall. The cloth seats are in excellent condition, with no rips, stains or wear. We have had the front seats covered with sheepskin seat covers since we have owned it, and the covers are included. The truck could use new front floor mats, the passenger side is missing, and the driver's side is showing some wear and/or needs a shampoo or replacement. There is one small stone chip in the windshield, I had planned on getting it filled, but never seemed to find the time. The left rear fender has a blem, and a previous owner has touched it up with paint. The rear bumper has two bent "dimples" on the underside. I've included pics to show these. The truck has a sprayed in bed liner, and a roll-up tonneau bed cover. The pics show the 10 ton Reese hitch. Our RV weighed around 13,000 pounds with a 1 ton vertical king pin weight, and the truck handled it very comfortably. The truck has not seen snow, ice or salted roads since we have owned it. The damage report issue, according to the previous owner, is caused by the Reese hitch being drilled and bolted into the frame. In the 2 years we have owned it I have found no reason to believe otherwise. I'm fairly certain the truck had the original tires on it when we bought it. They had all worn evenly, and we pulled our RV to Florida and back on them. We had new Firestone tires installed last fall before we headed for Texas, and again, they are wearing evenly. The truck does not pull either way, and tracks straight down the road. The truck went through a wholesaler between owner 1 and 2, and I think that may have been when the comments about the frame were entered into it's history. Unfortunate, perhaps, but maybe required in Texas if holes are drilled or modifications are made to the frame. I certainly don't see any evidence of an accident, and there would have been a clear record of that. The GPS you see in pics not included. We own the truck and have the title in hand. I will answer any questions, and post them here on the auction site. Thanks for looking, and good luck bidding! dewey On Nov-01-11 at 06:33:53 PDT, seller added the following information: Someone asked for details on the 6.7 engine.

DALLAS, Sept. 28 -- The war among America's diesel- powered pickup trucks rumbles into a new round with Dodge announcing more horsepower, torque, refinement and a host of advanced towing features. Today at the State Fair of Texas, Dodge will reveal more details about the 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty's new 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine, which replaces the current 5.9-liter engine. Producing 350 horsepower at 3,000 rpm and 650 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,500 rpm, the 6.7-liter engine features an all-new six-speed automatic transmission that delivers improved fuel economy and performance. The engine will be available in 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models beginning January 2007. A commercial-use 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine was introduced in early 2006 with the all-new Dodge Ram Chassis Cab, which is available now. "The 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty's new 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine sets the performance standard with an outstanding combination of horsepower, torque, refinement and emissions-reducing technology," said Scott Kunselman, Chief Engineer - Dodge Ram. "Providing superior trailer towing, acceleration, throttle response and drivability, the new 6.7-liter engine is not only more powerful, it's also cleaner with B5 biodiesel compatibility and a reduction in particulates and nitrogen oxide (NOx) that comply with the 50-state 2007 heavy-duty emission standards." Based on the proven DNA of the 5.9-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine, the new 6.7-liter engine is 50-percent quieter, while featuring a 107mm bore by 124mm stroke (versus 102mm bore by 120mm stroke for the 5.9-liter engine). The new engine retains more than 40 percent of its components from the 5.9- liter engine and shares more than 80 percent of its components with the new Dodge Ram chassis cab. The high-performance 408-cubic-inch inline-six intercooled turbo-diesel is clean and quiet, and meets all 2007 U.S. federal and state emission requirements, which require a 90-percent reduction in particulate matter and 50-percent reduction in NOx. Offered for the first time in Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks are features including an integrated exhaust brake, standard Electronic Range Select (ERS) and "Smart" tow/haul controls that provide customers flexibility and increased safety when towing heavy loads. Improved Performance, Durability and Emissions Dodge Ram Heavy Duty's new 6.7-liter turbo-diesel engine features improved performance, durability and significantly reduced emissions. Enhancing diesel-powered performance of 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks is an electronically-controlled Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT), which precisely matches boost pressure with the engine's needs. The 6.7-liter engine's VGT utilizes 16 fixed vanes and a sliding yoke, providing variable geometry, as well as an electric valve. The VGT produces optimum combustion control, reduced emissions and a quiet and lag-free throttle response. Decreasing NOx emissions is a next-generation cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system. The Cummins 6.7-liter engine's EGR system is water cooled, with the air reintroduced into the intake system, keeping turbo and intercooler components clean, which increases the engine's durability. Within the 6.7-liter Dodge Ram Heavy Duty exhaust system, reducing particulate matter is achieved through a self-cleaning Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The muffler is isolated from the emissions control system, therefore customers may remove the muffler without violating emissions compliance. The emissions system is designed for a government-certified 120,000 miles. As durable as it is powerful, the Cummins 6.7-liter turbo-diesel engine has life-to-major overhaul intervals of 350,000 miles, providing more than a 100,000-mile advantage over the competition. Quiet and Refined Driving Experience In addition to improving emissions and durability, occupant comfort is central to the 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty. The new 6.7-liter turbo-diesel engine incorporates several new features that contribute to a 50-percent quieter engine and a 3 Dba reduction in cabin sound levels, increasing the vehicle's overall refinement. New engine mounts, a constrained-layered oil pan, intake silencer and engine-block shield create a quiet cabin environment inside the 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty. In addition, an over-running alternator pulley eliminates sounds generated from the diesel engine shut down process, and machined crankshaft counter weights significantly contribute to quiet acceleration. First-ever Optional Exhaust Brake For the first time in a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty truck, an integrated exhaust brake is available direct from the factory. Utilizing the 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine's new turbocharger, the exhaust brake significantly improves control when towing heavy applications, such as pulling RV fifth wheels and horse trailers, providing added control and brake savings by transforming horsepower into braking power. "Towing and hauling capability is critical for our customers, as more than 90 percent of Dodge Ram Heavy Duty customers tow with their truck," said Kunselman. Benefits of the exhaust brake include: * Increased vehicle control to provide the owner additional peace of mind when towing * Enhanced safety by reducing overheating and fading of brakes on downhill grades * Lower cost of ownership, extending brake life by as much as three times * Capability for faster cold-weather cab warming The 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty's 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine's VGT is capable of creating the maximum exhaust restriction through a wide range of operating speeds, improving braking performance at low and high engine speeds. Testing has shown more than a 30 percent improvement in retarding torque at 2000 rpm compared with traditional brake exhaust methods.
