 You are looking at an extremely clean 2011 Ram 3500 crew cab, full size bed single rear wheel diesel pickup truck.  This beautiful truck went into service on April 1, 2012, and has 7,556 miles and 212 hours on it (yes, Dodge puts an hour meter on its HD trucks!)  It is under factory warranty for 3 years and 36 months from 4-1-12, and the successful bidder can also get special priced extended warranties during the first year, or through the end of this March.  It has been lightly used on weekends on a small hobby farm in Crown Point, IN, plus one round trip to Detroit and one to Minneapolis on two business trips.  It has hauled very little--about 200 miles total pulling an equipment trailer loaded with an approximately 5,500 lb. farm tractor.  It pulls effortlessly and runs very smoothly as you would expect from the top of the line heavy duty Ram model with the famous Cummins diesel engine.  Note that it was only in the back half of 2011 that the 800 lb. ft. torque heavy duty Cummins engine was available--this truck DOES have that engine, a $500 option.  Also note that recent HD diesel engines from Ford, GM, and now even Dodge I believe require Diesel Emission Fluid (DEF) to meet EPA requirements.  In 2011 Cummins was able to meet requirements without DEF, which can add as much as $75 to the cost of running about 3,000 to 5,000 miles.  This truck does NOT require DEF.  

This window sticker on this truck was $58,965, with a dealer cost of $53,666 before the hold back.  In addition I put about $2,500 of additional accessories consisting of extra long chrome steps, a full bed rug, and  a BackFlip solid bed cover.  The bed rug is a great product--it covers the entire bed and tailgate, including up the sides, but the tie downs are still accessible.  It is extremely durable, and was put down before ANYTHING was in the truck bed, which is still showroom new underneath.  I also put on a 4 panel BackFlip solid bed cap, which flips up in sections as shown in the pictures.  It is weather tight, and because the truck has a locking tailgate, with the cover closed the entire bed is secure, like a very large car trunk.

This truck comes with single rear wheels and a 3.42 Rear Axle Ratio.  This combination is best for fuel economy, but to get the best towing capacity the 4.10 gears with dual rear wheels is required, albeit at the expense of fuel economy.  Having said that, this truck will tow just about anything you would want to tow, but I wanted to be clear on the gearing.  With respect to mileage, it has a real time MPG screen which hits 20 to 21 mpg on the highway, but over the time I have owned it I have tracked all fuel purchased and total miles driven, and over about 7,200 miles I got an average of 15.1 mpg, but much of what I drive is local--up to the feed store, hardware store, etc.  Note I have NOT put any aftermarket exhaust, engine chip, etc. to try to enhance mileage.  This is a stock truck all the way around except the side steps and bed accessories.

The options on the truck are:  6 speed A/T ($1,100), Deep Water Blue pearl paint ($225), leather bucket seats ($500), rear video system including headphones still in the box ($1,695), 800 lb. ft. torque ($500), remote start ($185), power pedals ($150), rear backup camera ($200), on/of road tires--LT265/70R17E ($200), Navigation with CD/DVD/MP3 media center ($800), sunroof ($850), front/rear rubber floor mats--no one has EVER stepped on the carpet! ($80), snow plow prep (but never seen a plow) ($135), cold weather group ($90), and clearance lamps on the roof ($80).  I believe this truck had every option available except dual rear wheels, including satellite radio and an electric rear window above the bed.

I am putting the truck up for sale because I got a used wake board boat for the kids, and figure I could sell the truck, pay for the boat, and get another, cheaper used pickup or SUV for the farm.  Since I will still need a truck or SUV, if you are interested in this auction and have a decent 4x4 crew cab pickup (gas or diesel) or full size 4x4 SUV (prefer Suburban or Yukon XL) and want to upgrade to a Cummins diesel and are interested in trading in on this truck, I will entertain a deal with cash plus your vehicle.  To do this you MUST call to discuss what you have, and we can establish a trade value to apply against my truck, which value we must both agree to.  I don't care about age as much as condition, and would prefer less than 100,000 miles.

This truck has never been in an accident, has had its first oil change, is stored indoors, is in near showroom condition, and is available for inspection and test drives before the auction ends.  I have the title in hand, and the vehicle is located in Crown Point, IN, about 48 miles southeast of the Chicago loop.  This is a local pickup only, and payment in full will be required at delivery with a $1,000 paypal deposit required within 48 hours of auction end.  Miles may be slightly higher as I still use it on weekends.  Please call Mike at 219-765-5910 with any questions. 

I forgot to mention that this is a non-smoking vehicle, drivers or passengers.  Also the step bars are the Westin brand.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

FCA's large, LX-based RWD cars will stick around until 2020

Mon, Nov 7 2016

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles plans to stick with the Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 until at least 2020, reports Automotive News. The information comes from two unnamed sources and was loosely confirmed by details in the automaker's new labor contract with Unifor, Canada's auto union. The plan, according to two anonymous sources, is to lightly refresh the Challenger, Charger, and 300 until the vehicles make the switch to FCA's new Giorgio platform. The refresh, as Automotive News points out, will happen in 2018. The Giorgio platform currently underpins the Alfa Romeo Giulia and is expected to find its way to two of the three large American vehicles for the 2021 model year. At that time, FCA will discontinue either the Charger or the 300, claim AN's unnamed sources. If one of the vehicles were to go, it would most likely be the 300. The 300's LX platform would be approximately 15 years old in 2020 and the vehicle doesn't draw in as many sales as the Challenger or the Charger. The Charger made the switch from the LX platform in 2010 with the current model utilizing the mildly updated LD platform, while the Challenger recently moved from the LC platform to the LA platform last year. All of those rear-wheel-drive platforms are closely related. Automotive News points out that FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne stated that the new platform could be utilized across various applications in a conference call with analysts last month. The plan, according to the report, is to stretch and widen the Giorgio platform for the next-gen Challenger and Charger. The new platform is also rigid enough to allow the automaker to add a convertible to its lineup, which could lend further credence to rumors of an upcoming Barracuda. Hopefully, the move to the new Giorgio platform doesn't delay the all-wheel-drive Challenger GT AWD or the wide-body, Hellcat-powered Challenger ADR. We'll just have to wait and see.
