Bought a 98 RAM 12V with about 50K drove it till 380 or so now the Son has it.

Bought a 98 12V a year ago with 313K now has over 340 no hesitation with the mileage and the truck has been great also.

11 RAM Dually HO towed 28-30K combined, great truck no issues 65K traded for 15 RAM so far tows 32,500# very well!

RAM Baby! Just look around the VAST majority of independent hotshotters and RV haulers drive RAM/Cummins.

OH yea, LONG bed for sure!!!!
