The New Tow Truck
Mods can delete, since it's not a Benz. Picked up the new tow truck, and forgot to post about it. It's a 12 Ram 2500 Limited, of course with the Cummins. Got a great deal, can't complain about that. The 05 is now for sale, since I don't need two trucks.

Didn't want the new truck, but were sort of forced to buy it. Going to take it to Florida soon to pick up the CD.

Here's a pic of mine. I got it new a couple of years ago - with 167K miles (it was new to me).
I predict you'll love it. Mine's as tough as nails though we did have to freshen the trans (auto) - now modified to be as tough as the rest of the truck. Dan |

Since you are *towing* a Benz with it, I think the thread qualifies to stay put.

Nope. LSR (it's my "Thing"). The truck's been 117.8 and held the record for a while at The Ohio Mile but another guy showed up with the big injectors (motorhome injectors are a hot mod for these) and he now holds the record at 120 and change. My truck is surprisingly stock with just a lowering kit, a tonneau cover, and an Edge tuner. So not much past stock.

Hoping it does well on long trips. I suspect it will. I've already towed another Ram truck, so the CD will be the second vehicle towed. Longest tow, for sure.

whatcha asking for the 05? specs?
I've given passes to practically ANY thread that's diesel related... and your cummins is DIESEL, so it's fine in here... it looks great by the way.

Thanks John. The 05 is a SLT qc, 4x4, heavy duty package, cummins (of course) with 89k miles on it. New Michelins, new batteries. We are the original owners. Asking 23k.

Beautiful rig, congrats!
Your "old" truck will make someone happy, that truck is brand new with that kind of mileage. The asking price sounds fair, I sold my 06 a year ago for $20K with 170K+ miles. Best domestic Diesel engine IMHO. GLWS

Beautiful, low mileage truck!!!
You've got a beautiful, low mileage truck with an acceptable color choice for me! I think your asking price is quite reasonable! I'm actually looking for an 08+ Ram Cummins truck within my price range and color choices. Of course, I won't be buying until I sell my current tow truck.

Thanks guys. I bought the truck new in Sept, and it's got 1900 miles on it. Definitely don't drive it much. The other one has been for sale for two months, with no interest.. I find that sort of depressing.

Cant say it enough, be patient, the right buyer will show up. Have you advertised it in the cummins and other diesel forums yet?

What does the towing part of the truck look like??? Do you tow for hire, or is this your personal tow vehicle? Pretty truck! |
