2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie SLT – By 1998, Dodge was still riding high on the success of its redesigned ’94 Ram—and rightfully so. After all, neither Ford or GM had been able to match the might of the Ram 2500 and 3500’s with comparable products. As a result, Dodge was selling more than 400,000 Rams per year. Ultimately, it would take Ford’s release of the Super Duty (1998) and GM’s debut of its new HD line (2000) to slow Dodge’s head of steam. While much of the chassis remained unchanged through 2002, maximum towing figures kept edging higher and rear disc brakes finally became standard equipment. Interior updating and new trim options graced the model line also, as Dodge continued to fine-tune its second-gen Rams. Beginning roughly halfway through the 1998 model year and as a direct result of new federal diesel emission regulations, Dodge introduced the 24-valve version of the 5.9L Cummins (hence ’98.5). The new inline-six diesel mill, coined the ISB, brought improved airflow, better drivability, more precise fueling thanks its electronic Bosch VP44 injection pump, additional power and a broader rpm range to the table. It debuted making 235 hp at 2,700 rpm and 460 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm when joined with the NV4500 five-speed manual transmission option (215 hp and 420 lb-ft with the auto).

When we first saw this Dodge 2500, there was a little flutter inside and formed a crush. After we drove her a few miles, we were in love! This 2nd Gen has all the right looks, and the right features, some tasteful upgrades and low miles! We specialize in classic truck and never miss an opportunity to purchase a vehicle like this. Clean 1980-2010 trucks with low miles are our best sellers and never hang around long. As the owner of the dealership, I personally drove this truck appx 1k miles before composing this listing. This Ram drives great and with the exception of very minor things, needs nothing. We noticed the factory radio doesn’t work correctly and the wipers are lacking the intermitted mode (low and high work fine).
