Feel the Power of a Ram: The Dodge Ram 2500 for Sale

The Dodge Ram 2500 is a full-size pickup truck manufactured by Fiat-Chrysler Corporation. The second-generation Dodge Ram for sale was introduced in 1994. If you're looking for a reliable pickup truck, browsing the listings on eBay can help you find a reasonably priced Dodge Ram 2500.

Since 1994, these pickup trucks have been produced in three different generations. Here is a breakdown of the variations:

• First generation: Produced between 1994 and 2002, the original model is known for its proactive design and reliable engine. It came with a baseline 250hp 5.9-liter Magnum V8 engine complementing the rear-wheel or four-wheel drivetrain choices. Well-known models such as 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 are still revered by Dodge enthusiasts.
• Second generation: These vehicles were produced between 2003 and 2009. While the shape remained similar to that of the previous model, there was a significant change in the underlying mechanical features. The new features included a dynamic frame, suspensions, powertrains, new interiors, and sheet metal.
• Third generation: The model has been in active production since 2010. For the first time, the mainstay of the brand became a four-door cab-style truck. There were improvements in the storage unit, engine, and suspension. A class-exclusive manual transmission was also marketed as a practical choice because most of Dodge's rivals had ceased production of a manual transmission.

If someone refers to a second-generation Cummins for sale, they are likely recalling the diesel engine. The Cummins is an I6 diesel engine offered on the original model. Produced by Cummins, the engine is well-known due to its reliability in heavy-duty pickup trucks such as the Dodge Ram 2500. It was also a practical choice for owners, as it relied on direct injection compared to indirect injection in diesel-powered engines of heavy-duty trucks produced by rivals. Cummins engines were turbocharged in the second generation, while the third generation offered two types of Cummins engines without the turbocharger.

Three limited editions were produced in the first generation, which includes the Indy Pace SST Package, High Output, and Off-Road Edition. These variations offered additional power and exterior styling options. The second generation also saw nine limited editions. Among these, the Power Wagon was specifically built on the Dodge 2500 platform offering a Hemi engine and the ability to ramp up the capacity to 12,000 pounds.
