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.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
CEO Sergio Marchionne curses FCA spokesman for emissions cheating denial
Tue, May 15 2018WASHINGTON — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reprimanded the company's top U.S. spokesman for issuing press releases about Fiat's vehicle emissions practices days after Volkswagen's disclosure in September 2015 that the German automaker had used illegal software to evade emissions tests, documents released Monday show. Lawyers suing Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in a securities case filed excerpts of an email from Marchionne to Gualberto Ranieri, then the company's U.S. spokesman, in a filing in federal court in New York criticizing him for saying that the company does not use defeat devices. "Are you out of your goddam mind?" Marchionne wrote in an email on Sept. 22, 2015, adding that Ranieri should be fired and calling his actions "utterly stupid and unconscionable." The company said in a statement on Monday it was "understandable that our CEO would have a forceful response to any employee who would opine on such a significant and complex matter, without the matter having been fully reviewed through its appropriate channels." The statement added that Ranieri's comments came just days after VW's emissions issue became public "and before a comprehensive internal review and discussions with component suppliers was possible." Fiat Chrysler was sued in 2015 along with Marchionne and other executives over claims it defrauded shareholders by overstating its ability to comply with vehicle safety laws. An amended version of the complaint filed in 2017 added claims about its compliance with emissions laws. The shareholders accused the defendants of inflating Fiat Chrysler's share price by hundreds of millions of dollars from October 2014 to October 2015 by downplaying safety concerns. They said the shortcomings materialized in 2015 when the automaker was fined $175 million by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and took a roughly $670 million charge for recalls. Plaintiffs filed the excerpts seeking approval to take up to 40 additional depositions, including Marchionne's. The U.S. Justice Department sued Fiat Chrysler in May 2017, accusing it of illegally using software to bypass emission controls in 104,000 diesel vehicles sold since 2014. Fiat Chrysler has held numerous rounds of settlement talks with the Justice Department and California Air Resources Board to settle the civil suit, including talks as recently as earlier this month. It faces a separate criminal probe into the matter.
