ram 1500

I have 2012 allegro bus thinking of getting a ram 1500 rwd diesel for toad does anyone have any insight on this
  • thanks all I'm thinking cc 5.5 bed and as to rwd I'm not offroad much rwd is lighter and cheaper I need diesel for pulling 16" trailer with small tractor. I will look into drive shaft disconnect thanks
  • As noted in my Signature, I have a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. And, from the others, you want either 4X4 or you will need a driveshaft disconnect installed. Also, not sure what you're looking for, but the EcoD is available in Std Cab 8' bed, Quad Cab (extended) 6.4' bed, and Crew Cab 5.5' and 6.4' bed. Unfortunately, it is not available in Std Cab 6.4' bed.

    X2 It MUST be a 4X4 to flat tow it!
