While the Dodge Ram 3500 will not be turning heads any time soon, it comes with one significant advantage: the highly desirable and reliable 5.9-liter Cummins turbo diesel engine. This powerful, bulletproof engine can run on low-grade diesel, making it perfect for the long drive down to Argentina or Central America. And no, the Dodge Ram is not the most agile 4×4 on the market, but it is 4WD enough to get you onto a secluded beach or up a trail that the Jeeps overlook, but the vans won’t attempt. This vehicle comes equipped with a demountable 2019 Cirrus 820 camper and is essentially a turn-key purchase, ready to go whenever and wherever you are. We have a soft spot for the full-size rig; you can read all about that here.
From the seller:
“We are moving abroad and need to sell our beloved rig. [We are] selling her with all the things, turn-key, and ready to hit the road tomorrow. There is one year left on the extended warranty.”
