1997 Ram 3500 SLT Dually

Ram 3500 SLT Dually (1997)
for sale

Price: US $7,900.00

Description:


I ordered this truck in late 1996 and it has excelled at everything I have tasked it to do. With it's V~10, 5 speed stick, and 410 gearing it is capable of towing anything you can load into it and hitch behind it. It gets 10 MPG empty or loaded with a distance of just over 300 miles per tank consistently. The reason I am selling it is that after 17 years I purchased a 2014.
The truly unique (removable) thing about this truck is it's ability to fully support a removable drop hitch 3' past its own bumper. For example, it towed a 30' toy-hauler with over 350 lbs tongue weight without touching the 11' 6 Camper's bumper. It's Custom Built Hitch comes with the truck. It also has 4 custom made slide in, pinned, camper tie down supports.

If you are looking for a truck to support an enormous camper while towing a horse trailer to a show or just want something to tow your house on vacation... this truck can and will handle it

Condition:Seller Notes:
Used
“This NON SMOKER/ONE OWNER truck is in excellent condition and was totally re-painted in 2005. The dash is NOT cracked as almost all others are. It's dash mat went on the first week and has never been off since. The Body moldings and decals were removed prior to painting and the body is still dent free. As it is not a new truck it does have a few items in need of T.L.C. There is a small crease in the rear chrome bumper, one fog light needs replacing, the plastic rear window latch springs back open, the headliner is still attached but adhesive is borderline and will need attention in the future, the electric door locks no longer lock and the drivers door no longer works by key, and as you can see the drivers seat is worn on the edge ...otherwise the interior is as clean as pictured.”
