2003 DODGE RAM 2500 SLT QUAD LONGBED 4X2 DIESEL HO CUMMINS 88,891 Mi

I am selling my 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT Quad Cab Longbed 4X2
with the High Output Cummins Diesel and 88,891 original miles

Truck is in the Nanaimo, British Columbia area.

For Mainland buyers I can meet you at the Nanaimo Ferry Terminal with the truck for viewing

I will deliver the truck to Tsawwassan or Horseshoe Bay terminal at no charge after the truck is confirmed paid for

This Ram was originally sold in the US to a retired couple who towed their trailer to Florida for the winters. I have original service receipts showing the truck in Florida during the winter. The original owner & his wife passed away and the truck went to their son, who sold it to me. I am the 3rd owner.

A carfax comes with the truck showing 3 owners, and no accidents or claims of any kind. This truck has the proper original US DOT safety and emissions stickers in place, plus the proper Canadian RIV sticker and paperwork from when I imported it into Canada – see photos below.

This truck complies with all applicable safety and emissions laws in both Canada and the US and according to US Customs can be registered for the road anywhere in the US, or registered anywhere in Canada. According to US Customs because it was originally built for and sold in the US, it can be re-imported into the US without any duties charged. I received a copy of the original title in the original owner’s name showing it titled originally in the US. I also received the original build sheet supplied by Dodge showing the same original owner’s name and all the options he ordered on the truck. The truck comes with all paperwork for the importations into Ontario, Canada and then into British Columbia, which required independent professional safety/mechanical fitness inspections both times, which the truck passed with no problems. All of this original paperwork comes with the truck.

This truck is built for long distance hauling with good fuel economy. It has the optional HO Cummins diesel engine with 555 pound-ft of torque and 2-WD with a limited slip differential.

The Dodge Ram website shows the maximum tow weight for this truck at 13,550 pounds and the CGWR weight at 20,000 pounds (search on: dodgeram.info/2003/load-tow/2500).

This is my personal truck bought to move across Canada to BC, and I do not use it enough to justify keeping. This truck is not for off-roading. It is for hauling loads big distances economically. The trip computer in the truck shows about 22-23 MPG on the highway empty, and about 19.5 MPG pulling 6,000 pounds on the level. The 5th wheel mount that the original owner had installed for his trailer is still in the bed.

This has never been a work or commute truck. It has been garaged while I owned it. The truck is clean with no tears or rips in the interior. It has 4 near-new Bridgestones, drives terrific, and is properly maintained. In the last 9,000 miles the truck has been serviced mostly by Dodge Ram dealers with new brake rotors + pads front & rear, new front wheel bearings, new parking brake shoes, and new rear axle seals. These receipts come with the truck. Also regular oil & filter changes and rear axle lube changed. Both batteries replaced by Dodge Ram dealer with Dodge OEM batteries shortly before I purchased it.

This truck is in really good cosmetic and operating condition but, as a used vehicle is sold with no guarantees expressed or implied. It has 88,891 miles at the time this is written and is 10 years old. It is not a new truck, but has been lightly used and well cared for. There are imperfections, one shown in photos: a small dent next to the right rear tail light. Also a small dent on the tailgate and two small dents in the rear bumper.

The truck comes with its original build sheet from Dodge showing all the options plus its original owners manual and other books.

The options on this truck include:

Optional High Output Cummins diesel engine with 555 pound-ft (standard engine was 460 pound-ft).

The build sheet says this engine option cost $5,225 in 2003

6-speed manual transmission and 11.50 LSD differential

8 foot longbed

Tow package, 7-pin connector

Power front drivers seat and front centre storage cushion/bins

Extra lights in sun visors, dome, and underhood.

Auto dim rear view mirror

Keyless entry with alarm. The truck comes with the two original keys and remotes, which work

Optional folding flat-load rear floor with storage underneath

Sliding rear window, tow mirrors, fog lamps, hood shield, leather wrapped wheel

Also has all the standard stuff for the SLT including A/C (WORKS), trip/mileage computer, etc

Also comes with a very nice Swiss topper with keys and locks that work, made specifically for this truck

I have described this truck to the best of my ability.
Viewing the truck is encouraged.
I will work with bidders to answer questions or get additional photos.

Please ask your questions before the bidding ends.

Bidders must have funds or a cash line of credit available for this truck before bidding.

Gauging reaction to the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit on Detroit highways

Sat, Feb 7 2015

Steven Ewing and I kind of pretended to be cops a few weeks ago. No, not in the illegal way; we just took turns driving the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit around Detroit and its suburbs, learning invaluable life lessons along the way. A lot of those lessons came in the form of weird reactions from other drivers. Steve peeved his neighbors by surprising them in the parking lot, I can damn close to sitting in jail next to a murderer and we both caught our fair share of evil-eyed glances. One of my very first observations was a pronounced "bubble effect" when driving in traffic on the highway. Attempting to recreate the effect for the video camera, I grabbed Senior Producer Chris McGraw and we went for a ride in the name of pseudo psychology. The results weren't exactly as we'd predicted, but we had fun all the same. Get one more dose of your cop car fix, above.

Dodge Dart getting hatchback variant... sort of

Thu, 25 Apr 2013

In other parts of the world, Fiat builds and sells a version of the Dodge Dart called the Viaggio, and it appears that in addition to the current sedan bodystyle, a new hatchback version of the car is also in the works. Autocar says that the general manager for China's Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture, John Burton, has confirmed that a new Viaggio hatchback will be revealed by the end of this year before it goes on sale in early 2014.
The Viaggio will soon be joined by the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which in China will be called the Liberty Light, at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant. While the idea of a Dodge Dart hatchback might be enough to enable most of us to forget about the Dodge Caliber, a North American variant doesn't appear to be in the cards. We reached out to Chrysler PR boss Rick Deneau, and he offered a succinct: "No plans at this time."

How Dodge is making sure dealers don't gouge Demon buyers

Tue, Jun 20 2017

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is a ridiculous 840-horsepower, limited-production machine that we're sure many are eager to purchase. But, they're probably not excited at the prospect of the massive dealer markups that accompany rare, high-performance cars. Fortunately, Dodge is taking steps to make sure buyers aren't paying thousands of dollars extra to get a car early, and its main method is production priority. Dodge announced that cars purchased at or below the MSRP of $86,090 will be the first ones the company builds and delivers. If a dealer sells an allocated car for more than the sticker price, that car won't be built until the high-priority vehicles have been. Dodge will also ensure fair distribution of the 3,000 Demons it will build by limiting the number of orders a dealer can submit. Dealers will be allocated a certain number of cars, and the amount will be based on how many Challenger and Charger Hellcats the dealer has sold. This should also help prevent dealers from hoarding cars and slapping sky-high prices on them. Also, the fact that every Demon comes with a number plate with the buyers' name on it should help prevent dealers from buying cars for the lot to mark up. In addition to revealing these measures, Dodge announced that buyers will be able to submit an order for a Demon at an eligible dealer tomorrow, June 21. The only dealers eligible for Demon ordering are those that have sold more than one Hellcat in the past 12 months. Cars will begin production this summer, and deliveries will begin in the fall.
