Meet a classic workhorse with character: this 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Long Bed finished in Emerald Green Metallic with a clean Gray interior. Powered by the legendary 5.9L Turbocharged Cummins I6 (12-valve), this truck is built for towing, hauling and dependable long-term use. It has under 166,000 miles — averaging less than 6,000 miles per year — and shows excellent overall condition with a clean CARFAX. Highlights on this rare marvel of mechanical excellence include- 5.9L Turbocharged Diesel I6 OHV 12V engine — known for torque, durability and long service life. - 4x4 drivetrain with heavy-duty transfer case for confident off-road and poor-weather capability. - 4-speed automatic transmission for smooth, dependable operation behind the Cummins motor. - Camper/Towing Package plus trailer brake and Gooseneck ball in the bed — everything you need for big towing jobs. - Limited slip rear differential to help put power to the pavement when traction is limited. - AM/FM radio with in-dash CD player for music and audio convenience. - Manual horizontal sliding rear window — a convenient feature for ventilation and passing long items into the cab. This Ram 2500 was built as a true 3/4-ton pickup, so the factory emphasis is on strength, durability and utility: - Heavy-duty chassis and long-bed (LB) cargo box sized for large loads, with reinforced frame rails and robust bed construction. - Solid axles and multi-leaf rear springs engineered for high payloads and towing stability. - High-capacity cooling and braking components to handle the extra heat and load of towing and heavy use. - Rugged drivetrain components designed around the Cummins inline-6: strong crank, heavy-duty transmission compatibility and a stout transfer case for the 4x4 models. - Functional, driver-focused interior: large analog gauge cluster including oil pressure, coolant temperature and voltmeter (engine monitoring important for diesel owners), durable gray upholstery and trim materials meant to stand up to work truck use. - Practical HVAC system with heater and air conditioning to keep the cab comfortable in all seasons .With the rare combination of the 12-valve Cummins, 4x4 capability, long bed and a full towing setup (gooseneck and trailer brake), this Ram is set up to handle heavy jobs right away. The Emerald Green Metallic exterior presents nicely and the clean Gray interior is practical and well maintained. Low miles for its age, excellent condition and a clean CARFAX make this an attractive choice whether you’re a contractor, a weekend hauler, or a diesel enthusiast looking for an honest, ready-to-work truck.
