This one is an auto, I kinda called about it last week but it's a respray and has a rusty frame. Almost caved...but this thing would be a beast with a 6sp manual.

Factory: 2" lift, skid plates, electronic locker out back, winch, electronically disconnecting swaybars, forged wheels, fender flares....they're juat awesome.

@Gunbuffer has a nice red one like this for sale, but it’s a diesel.

A regular 2500 won't have all the offeoad goodies...and I have tons of performance parts for a 3rd gen 5.7 that I could transfer over and bump the 5.7hp rating way up.

That baby got sold last Tuesday an hour after I posted it!!

From what I've heard the 5.7 hemi is a great half ton motor but really lacking in the 3/4 ton and 1 tons, everybody hates them. No power and no gas mileage. A guy I work with has one in a 3/4 4x4 with 3.73 gears and he said it shifts all the time when he's pulling his car hauler.

 

[adamsredlines]

Depends what you want, and what you have. PWs come with 4.56s which helps a ton, and a manual would help even more.

I also have the parts sitting around to make that 5.7 hit around 500hp pretty easy.

I promise in stock form it'll outperform my current truck in every department...let alone with the aftermarket parts installed.

I like 04/05s, and need 4x4.

I did rear wheel drive on a truck one time, sold it a year later. I guess as long as you don't use your truck or take it off the road that is fine, but the first time you have to pull a trailer off the road, rear wheel drive is trash, especially around here on farmland.
4x4 ever since and I have never regretted haveing the capability.
Buddy has a Power Wagon and he said really likes it. Not sure what year but he said it rides really nice for a truck and has plenty options.
