You could hardly ask for more from a truck than you get with this 2001 Dodge Ram, 2500, V10, Automatic 4WD! If you need something pulled, this truck does it and hardly knows anything is back there!

This truck can pull regular trailers, a fifth wheel, or an in bed camper! It’s set up to do any of these. Inside the flawless spray lined bed are fifth wheel rails and included with this truck is a Reese 16K sliding fifth wheel. We used this to pull a 33 foot fifth wheel and maneuvered with the slider in the rear position. Then just slide the fifth wheel forward and you’re ready for the road. We even towed with the fifth wheel all the way back on the highway and there is no noticeable difference! This truck is that heavy and that capable.

The original owner set this truck up for an in bed camper, so the rails that go underneath the bed are already in place. There is also an electrical outlet in the bed to supply power to the in bed camper, along with the same kind of outlet at the rear of the truck to power your fifth wheel.

If you want to rough it, the camper shell that comes with the truck also has lights in the ceiling than run off the truck battery. The bed is clean and lined, so all you need to do is throw down some sleeping bags and take a nap!

The truck has a Class VI hitch installed, in case you have a pull trailer that you use instead. Once again you can plug your camper into the outlet integrated into the hitch and power your electrical needs.

Don’t worry about too much load on this truck! It has helper springs in the back, along with air bags for the rear suspension. There just isn’t a way to overload this truck!

The four wheel drive will make sure you don’t get stuck. The four almost new all-weather tires have never let us down. You slip it into 4 HI or 4 LO and you GO!

Here’s a write up on the V10. http://www.allpar.com/mopar/V10.html The hp rating of this engine is around 310 and the torque is around 450. Once on the road, with a fully loaded 33 foot fifth wheel trailer, I watched the engine hum along the Interstate at under 2K rpm like there was nothing to it. The overdrive transmission helps keep the rpm low once you’re on your way. If you’re thinking of full time RVing or just want the best and most reliable rig to tow with, then this is it! Compare these numbers with any diesel, and then compare the price of fuel. This V10 runs on regular gas and likes it!

What about mileage you ask? If you’re serious about pulling a camper, you’re going to use some gas with any rig you buy. The secret of keeping a V10 economical is to not mash the gas like it was a V8. This torque producing monster 8 liter comes on strong at low RPM and keeps on pulling. I learned to keep the RPMs at 2K or less when pulling and we did as well as a large V8 pulling a load – a range of 11-16 depending on the road. Level interstate is your friend when RVing! The road to our home is about a 30 degree grade and we pulled the fully loaded fiver up it with no problem.

So what about creature comforts in the cab? Leather, heated seats for both passenger and driver keep you happy for long hours on the road. The SLT interior package leaves very little to add. Just a CD and a navigation package perhaps, but we were satisfied with a plug in Garmin and the factory AM/FM/cassette, and we added a plug in MP3 player (all included). All the music you could ever want! The drivers’ seat also electronically adjusts up and down, so shorter drivers can get good position to fly this rig down the interstate! The steering wheel tilts which I like on long drives. If you run into some fog, just turn on the factory fog lamps integrated into the chrome bumper. And don’t worry if you have to hit the brakes! The brake controller mounted on the lower part of the dash runs through factory wiring to activate the trailer brakes!

This is the four door version where both doors open from the center, so you can have lots of room for rear seat passengers to climb in and get comfortable without fighting a center post. Underneath the rear seat cushion is a long storage space which is where we store the towing mirrors (included) and other things you like to have handy.

At a little over 97K miles, this V10 is just getting broken in! That’s less than 8K per year, which is just enough to keep it healthy, without running up the mileage! It has been a powerful, trouble free truck, but we have decided to not travel like we used to for health reasons. We sold our fifth wheel, but we do have a 33-34 foot fifth wheel cover that will also go with this truck. In the winter I used to drive this truck to work if the snow was deep and I never once got stuck.

There is nothing else you need to hit the road. You can pull whatever camper you have to any spot you want, then unhitch and explore in this powerful and dependable 4WD monster!

Blue book on this truck ranges from $17,035 to $19,735, depending on whether or not you buy it from a dealer or a private party like us.

Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.

2021 L.A. Auto Show roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures

Thu, Nov 18 2021

The L.A. Auto Show took place this week for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. It was a show packed with news and reveals, which hasn't really been the case with other shows we've seen this year, and Autoblog was on the floor covering every minute of it. Well, Riswick and Stocksdale were, anyway. The rest of us were sitting at home in our sweatpants, but hey, we'll take credit anyway. Let's get to it. Hyundai Seven Concept This is theÂ HyundaiÂ Seven Concept, and it’s meant to act as a preview for anÂ incoming electric SUV for the Ioniq brand. It leans more toward the concept side of the spectrum than a production car, but expect the final SUV to take design cues from the Seven Concept. Kia Concept EV9 TheÂ HyundaiÂ Seven counterpart isn't the only big, bold electric SUV at L.A. this year.Â KiaÂ has its own take, and it's a modernized version of the traditional boxy utility vehicle called the Concept EV9. It also previews one of the next productionÂ electric carsÂ for the brand, which should look right at home next to things likeÂ the Telluride. 2023 Kia Sportage HEV As promised, theÂ 2023 Kia SportageÂ HEV has been revealed. TheÂ hybrid powertrain makes the compact SUV the most powerful version available, and it goes on sale next year.Â The engine is a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder paired with a 44-kW electric motor. Total output is 226 horsepower. The company didn't give a torque number, but it should basically be the same asÂ the Sorento HEVÂ that has the same basic powertrain: 258 pound-feet. Those numbers are a healthy step up from the 187 horsepower of the base 2.5-liter engine. 2022 Range Rover If you noticed how extra smooth and suave the new Range Rover looked during its recent reveal, Autoblog's James Riswick got a design tour that revealed some of the technological secrets to its success. "Less is more" is harder to achieve than it looks. Fisker Ocean FiskerÂ has brought the new Ocean EV to theÂ L.A. Auto Show, with a public preview at Manhattan Beach and a presence at the show itself. You can watch the public show reveal above, and see more shots from the show floor below.Â Fisker says the Ocean will start at $37,499 before incentives. That entry model would be the Sport trim with a single, 275-horsepower motor driving the front wheels and 250 miles of estimated range. It also has a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds. 2023 Toyota bZ4X This is the 2023Â ToyotaÂ bZ4X, due to hit U.S.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
