Used Dodge RAM 250 for Sale near Burbank, IL

performance is surprisingly good, it had a cummins 2500 turbo diesel and accelleration was excellent (it was a manual/stick shift rather than an automatic), braking was not exceptional, and handling, like all american cars, was very vague. Build quality was below average, with plenty of squeaks and rattles, appearance utilitarian but ruggedly pleasing even if not a stunner. On the fun factor scale it wasn't amazing but neither was it boring, it was relatively enjoyable to drive and I did have a certain amount of affection for the old lump, I'd have another one for sure.

This is a 1991 Dodge Ram 250. It is used as a farm truck and does stuff such as plow snow, carry hay bales, pull heavy equipment, and other things that require a heavy, solid truck. It is extremely reliable and you can count on hearing a roar every time you turn the key.

This truck is as tough as they come, and it rides like it too! But for what the truck was built for and with the Cummins/NV4500/NP205 combo, it is the most simple and reliable production truck i can think of. I swapped the G360 for the NV4500 Btw. Once that was done, there really isn't anything that can take this pig down. this era is probably the best cummins dodges there is, and it gets looks everywhere is goes too!

Cheap to buy, good fuel mileage, insurance is reasonable. Easier to work on than some of the newer/more complex cars/trucks out there. Body/interior styling is a bit dated being a '93. Some wheels and fresh paint really cleans it up though. Slow compared to the newer diesel trucks, but that can be fixed.

This truck runs great. Averages 14 mpg. Rides like a rock but put a 3,000 lb camper on it and it rides much better. It's the last of the all mechanical fuel systems. No smog check even in California. It's a keeper.
