2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Conversion High Top van by Explorer. Equipped with the four captains chairs and a rear bench seat that folds down into a bed large enough to sleep two adults. The second row of captains chairs are easily removeable and the one next to the back door swivels for easier entry/exit.
This van has the very reliable Dodge 318 V8 engine and runs like a new one with only 80,000 miles on it. Everything works smoothly as new with no needed repairs or adjustments. Tires have about 6,000 miles on them. The vehicle does have a factory tow package and Class III Reese hitch and the automatic overdrive with the tow switch on the lever. I have towed a 5000 lb car and trailer for over a thousand miles and you barely know it's there. At highway speeds there is no need to disable the overdrive when towing this amount of weight. I just switched if off when in towns or when climbing long mountain grades.
The original carpet has been replaced with a new commercial grade of carpet that matches the interior of the van. All the upholstery is in excellent condition showing no signs of wear or fading. Outside there are a very few small dings as you would normally expect from a vehicle this age. Paint and striping is excellent and shiny.
The TV and DVD player in the back can be disabled by the driver and all the rear lighting also is controlled by the driver on the overhead console. There is a rear stereo with tape player that can be played on the rear entertainment speakers or through headphones with four sets of headphone jacks installed. TV also plays either on speakers or on headphones.
This is an excellent vehicle for making long trips with the family. I have a plug in 12VDC refrigerator that fits in back behind the seats to keep the family drinks an lunch cool during travel that goes with the van. This van is very quiet on the road and easy for anyone to drive. It is the long wheel base (127 inch) so it does not have the long back extension behind the rear wheels but the body is longer than a standard van.
Please don't bid unless you intend to buy and have the funds available for your purchase. I am an individual seller and cannot provide any type of financing. Please send me an email and ask any questions you have. I will be glad to answer and can send you photos of anything you want to see more of. If you want to talk to me about the van, please send me an email and I will send you a phone number to call or send me your number and I will call you. I will get back to you quickly.
The van is also for sale locally and the auction will be ended if it sells before the ending of the time on auction. If you want to come see it, send me a phone number and I will call to arrange that or to have someone in the area look for you if that is what you want. I will take it to a garage for inspection at your expense if you want as well.
I need a cash deposit via Paypal upon purchase of the van and will work out the final payment with you. It will have to be paid before it can leave here. If you want it shipped, make the arrangements and I will meet with the shipper to help get it out on my end.
Please ask questions on anything you want to know. I will post the questions and answers if they are general in nature and do not concern purchase price or personal information.
Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Dodge isn't going anywhere. Despite some rumor and speculation over the future of the crosshair grille and the cars that wear it, Dodge brand boss, Tim Kuniskis, sat down with TheDetroitBureau.com, explaining that the marque isn't going anywhere. His sentiments echo those of SRT boss Ralph Gilles, who told a group of enthusiasts in July that "Dodge is here to stay!"
Dodge's death won't be "a part of a master plan to consolidate brands," Kuniskis told TheDetroitBureau.com. Instead, the brand, which is ultimately under the command of Fiat/Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, will likely ditch some of its badge-engineered models, like the Dodge Grand Caravan. A more focused Dodge, which was something Gilles has already hinted at, will likely see it exploring areas of the market that haven't been exploited by other Chrysler brands.
Kuniskis, not surprisingly, wasn't willing to delve into any detailed product plans, telling TDB that the size of the brand's lineup "remains to be seen." Regardless of how big the brand actually ends up being (it is presently Chrysler's volume brand - and not by a little), hopefully the statements from Kuniskiss can put the rumors of a Dodge closure to bed.
FCA inline-six rumored to be real, headed for Jeep Wagoneer
Thu, Dec 20 2018In September, Allpar reported that that clues being dropped at Fiat- Chrysler headquarters, in the carmaker's factories, and on engineer resumes pointed to the development of an inline six-cylinder engine. The site has just proclaimed the rumor is reality, writing that the straight-six, "turbocharged to meet or beat 5.7 Hemi power ratings, with a smoother torque curve, is on the way." The motor's first outing is expected to be either the next-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, debuting perhaps next year, or the Jeep Wagoneer, debuting in 2020 or 2021. "Tornado" is the purported codename for the power plant said to be just under three liters in displacement, expanding the family begun with the Global Medium Engine 2.0-liter turbo codenamed Hurricane. Engine bay constraints and a long use horizon mean engineers won't simply add two more cylinders to the GME, however. Allpar says the brief is to keep the Tornado GME-T6 — the alphanumeric for "turbocharged six" — no more than three inches longer than the Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder. That means "major design changes" that could include a space-saving head, more closely spaced cylinders, and no cylinder liners. An FCA division called Comau could be called on for its "SmartSpray" plasma lining technology. Allpar muses that the standard version of the engine for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram could get a single twin-scroll turbocharger. Performance trims for Alfa Romeo and Maserati could get different heads and maybe twin turbos, an SRT version might also get both those tweaks. History shows that the Italian versions would make changes to the block, as well. Even so, the Tornado would be less expensive than any Ferrari-supplied V6. A straight-six would put FCA in company with current adopters BMW and Mercedes-Benz, future users like Jaguar, and perhaps Aston Martin. The engine would span the widest range of use cases in the U.S. carmaker's portfolio, though. Potential applications include being a base engine for Ram trucks, serving double duty as a base engine and 5.7-liter Hemi replacement for the Dodge Charger and Challenger, working in the high-end Jeeps, and as a properly hot trim — with Ferrari-designed heads — in the luxury Italian sports cars. The Alfa Romeo Giulia begs for just such motivation to fill the gap between the 280-hp, $42,695 Ti Sport RWD and the 505-hp, $73,700 Giulia Quadrifoglio RWD. And a twin-turbo inline-six in a Maserati Alfieri would stack up nicely with the Germans.
Stellantis lays off salaried workers, cites uncertainty in EV transition
Sat, Mar 23 2024DETROIT — Jeep maker Stellantis is laying off about 400 white-collar workers in the U.S. as it deals with the transition from combustion engines to electric vehicles. The company formed in the 2021 merger between PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler said the workers are mainly in engineering, technology and software at the headquarters and technical center in Auburn Hills, Michigan, north of Detroit. Affected workers were notified starting Friday morning. “As the auto industry continues to face unprecedented uncertainties and heightened competitive pressures around the world, Stellantis continues to make the appropriate structural decisions across the enterprise to improve efficiency and optimize our cost structure,” the company said in a prepared statement Friday. The cuts, effective March 31, amount to about 2% of Stellantis' U.S. workforce in engineering, technology and software, the statement said. Workers will get a separation package and transition help, the company said. “While we understand this is difficult news, these actions will better align resources while preserving the critical skills needed to protect our competitive advantage as we remain laser focused on implementing our EV product offensive,” the statement said. CEO Carlos Tavares repeatedly has said that electric vehicles cost 40% more to make than those that run on gasoline, and that the company will have to cut costs to make EVs affordable for the middle class. He has said the company is continually looking for ways to be more efficient. U.S. electric vehicle sales grew 47% last year to a record 1.19 million as EV market share rose from 5.8% in 2022 to 7.6%. But sales growth slowed toward the end of the year. In December, they rose 34%. Stellantis plans to launch 18 new electric vehicles this year, eight of those in North America, increasing its global EV offerings by 60%. But Tavares told reporters during earnings calls last month that “the job is not done” until prices on electric vehicles come down to the level of combustion engines — something that Chinese manufacturers are already able to achieve through lower labor costs. “The Chinese offensive is possibly the biggest risk that companies like Tesla and ourselves are facing right now,Â’Â’ Tavares told reporters. “We have to work very, very hard to make sure that we bring out consumers better offerings than the Chinese.
