Pre-Owned 1997 Dodge Ram 3500

1997 Dodge Ram 3500 Chassis Cummins 5.9L I-6 xxxxxx, *intercooled turbo*, diesel engine with 215HP and a 5-speed manual transmission. Built for demanding work, this heavy-duty Ram combines a torquey inline-six diesel and a direct-shift manual gearbox to deliver confident towing performance and efficient long-distance operation. Diesel power gives you robust low-end torque and strong fuel economy on sustained drives, so long hauls and heavy workloads consume less fuel than comparable gasoline setups. The inline six-cylinder layout is inherently well-balanced, producing smooth operation under load and a refined feel during extended trips or when pulling heavy trailers. The *OHV* pushrod design delivers usable torque early in the rev range, providing quick response from a stop and practical grunt for starting heavy loads. An *intercooled turbo* boosts efficiency and throttle response by delivering cooler, denser air to the cylinders, translating into stronger passing power and better performance when loaded. *Wheel trim rings* give the truck a tidier, more polished appearance that signals attention to upkeep while keeping the rugged character intact. *Dual rear wheels* improve rear-axle stability and increase payload and towing capacity, helping you manage larger trailers and heavier cargo with greater confidence. *All-terrain tires* expand where you can take the truck offering deeper tread for traction on rough surfaces while still behaving predictably on the highway. An airbag is included as an important part of the restraint system, adding supplemental protection to reduce the risk of serious injury in a crash. The driver front-impact airbag is designed to cushion frontal impacts, lowering forces on the driver’s head and chest when used together with seatbelts. Reflector-style composite headlamps provide effective, well-directed lighting and make bulb replacement straightforward and economical. Halogen beam headlights offer reliable, bright illumination with low replacement cost, helping preserve clear nighttime visibility for routine driving. This 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 Chassis pairs time-tested mechanical simplicity with real-world capability, making it a practical choice for towing, hauling, and rugged day-to-day work. If you need a dependable, no-nonsense heavy-duty truck, arrange a closer look or a test drive to feel its strength and durability firsthand.
