I bought a new 2019 old style Ram today, I couldn't pass it up for $25,710. It has the upgraded larger radio and dash, but being an Express, it's not loaded...just the way I wanted it. I've always felt this series was the best looking.

Looks nice, and great price too! There sure are some good discounts to be had.

How does it drive? Not like an old truck I would imagine.

Beautiful truck! But what qualifies as "not loaded", I have to ask? I'm actively searching out a low mileage '89-'91.5 Dodge Cummins diesel. Crank windows, rubber floor mats in lieu of carpet, etc. Now that's my version of "not loaded"! :)

Seriously, though, as modern trucks go, yours is a beaut! Congratulations! (y)
 
Well stripped by today's standards. No blind spot monitoring, no adaptive cruise control, no lane departure warning, no start/stop BS. It has a back up camera, but that is bullshit mandated by our government, so they all have that.

It has the Hemi though, and I needed that. The truck is no slouch. It feels almost as quick as my Hemi Magnum.
 
Sweet truck. I have been looking at a Ram for a bit now. That color, cab and motor for that matter. I like the regular cab truck. It's how trucks are supposed to be. Like Jeeps are supposed to be 2 door. I don't think a regular cab is in the 2020 lineup. I guess they are counting on new truck buyers to all be soccer mom types. Or landscapers with the need to fit a busload of guys in the cab.

Sweet ride! Congrats

I just picked up this last month. Got a smoking deal. Never owned a truck before, but this thing is so comfy and tons of rooms for the kids in the back with the crew cab. Luxury SLT version. One owner and he upgraded all the good stuff ( HD tranny and cooler, 8.5" screen, tow package and brake controller, rear sliding window, folding mirrors, full console etc..). Loving it!

One owner and the passenger and back seats have never been sat on :) Immaculate with 100k KMs. Stole it for $21,300 CAD plus tax (they were asking $26890) and I made them throw in a ride on jeep for my boy :) took 2 days to make the deal.

That’s a gorgeous truck.

I love my crewcab F350. And if there were no kids I would have it as a single cab. But you really can’t do a cross country drive with the kids in the bed. Lol

I feel you. My crew cab Silverado long bed gets loaded to the brim for camping trips with the kids. Plus the long bed tows the TJ pretty nice. Before kids me and the wife would get around in my single cab S-10 without a problem. I miss that truck.

'91.5 Cummins/5sp. Limited slip . . . . hot pump, turbo, sticks . . . .
Drove this one for 15 yrs.
 
That's a nice truck and a good price. The little Jeep is bad ass. I might later find a full console out of a wrecked Ram and put it in mine.
The console in your truck is the style that I put in my '02 Dodge/Cummins. There are folks that would buy yours if you sold it. Some of them have the compartment under the seat cushion wired for a stacker or vhf. Nice truck !

Two weeks ago, I went and looked at a '91.5 2-wheel drive. Let's just say it wasn't quite as advertised. :rolleyes: Same color as yours. I want an automatic, as the left knee doesn't play well with a clutch pedal anymore. Want a 727 Torqueflite, as the OD transmissions seem to have far more issues than the old reliable 3-speed auto. My '90 has 420,000+ miles on it, and the 727 is just now starting to show its age. So, yea...'89-'91.5 for me. Now having said that, I gotta admit that @89grand made an excellent choice. Gorgeous Hemi-powered short box. Might not haul the weight a diesel will, but it'll certainly haul-ass!!! ;)

Old style he says! lol
My 03 Hemi that only comes out on pretty days. Pretty truck by the way, great snatch RCSB too.
The Six Pack scoop is my current project in progress to mate up to my Vararam Air Grabber.
