Multi-Tasker: 1990ish Dodge 1500 Ram Pickup Forklift

What is red, white, and can pull its own motor? Yeah. a Dodge pickup with a forklift hanging out the back.  The fork lift pickup might seem like an odd vehicle, but I've seen many running around the street hauling dumpsters from behind apartment complexes to the street for the big trash machine to do the dumping. Personally, I'd like to have one to drive around and use for various tasks around the yard/garage/house (wash the windows on the 2nd floor?), but you'll need to get a title because this one isn't street legal according to the seller. Find this 1990ish Dodge 1500 Ram Pickup Forklift offered for $1,500 in Lake City via facebash marketplace.

Viper Truck: 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10

The Dodge Ram SRT-10 isn't pretty, nor is it sporty.  It isn't really a pickup or a sports car.  It is a physics defying 3-ton hunk of metal powered by a 500 horsepower V10, with room for a few adults, a few mangy dogs, a BBQ grill, and $500 of groceries.  It is as if Dodge had turned over the Viper design authority to a collective of shoppers from Walmart and told them "design the next Viper for your cousin Bubba and his sister/wife." It is, however, breathtaking.  Find this 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 offered for $19950 near Chicago, IL via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.

12 Valve 5.9 Cummins: 1993 Dodge Ram 2500 Extended Cab

If you enjoy the clack-ity-rack-ity sound of a good diesel, then look no more because the Cummins 12 Valve inline-6 is the heavy fuel burning engine that you want in your pickup.  The 5.9 are legendary for reliability, ruggedness, and surviving all kinds of abuse because they were an industrial/tractor engine that somehow ended up in the engine bay of a light truck, which is a far less needy application.  Find this 1993 Dodge Ram 2500 Extended Cab here on eBay bidding for $2,247 with 4 days to go, located in Clackamas, OR.

El Chupacabra: 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10

Cursed: 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 Van

Unlike everything else posted on these pages, this next feature is a car that you don't want to own, but I'm going to post it because the description is priceless.  The short version is that the van is likely cursed and has crashed into multiple objects, including a John Deere tractor, and a loaner vehicle -- just read the ad for yourself. Find this 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 Van offered for $750 in Keysville, VA via craigslist.

155 MPH Pick Me Up: 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10

Ford beat Dodge (and Chebby) to the full sized performance pickup game with the 1999 release of the F-150 Lightning (there was an earlier Lightning, but it wasn't that fast all things considered) and the nuts at Chrysler's SRT (Street & Racing Technology) division realized that they needed to compete.  So the engineers who built the original Viper and Prowler did the only logical thing and shoved a 8.3 liter Viper V10 into a full sized pickup. Find this 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 offered for $16,500 in Bloomington, IL via craigslist.  Tip from FuelTruck.

Silence of the Cans: 1980 Dodge Ram D50 Based Muffler Car

Whenever I write about an interesting car, I try to reflect some of that car's personality in my words -- perhaps I can make a unique car a bit more interesting...but there are some times when the car is so utterly over the top that I can't say anything to improve the car.  This is one of those times.  Find this 1980 Dodge Ram Based Muffler Car here on eBay bidding for $3,500 with a $4,500 buy-it-now with 2 days to go, located in Voorhees, NJ.  Tip from Jeff S.

5k: 2 Fast 2 Furious Extra: 2004 Dodge Ram

If you thought yesterday's Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift Mustang was the only Fast n Furious movie car lurking quietly on craigslist in Los Angeles, you've got another thing coming.  This next car was the star of the show, more of a silent uncredited walk-on part, but its asking price is about what you'd pay for the roll cage setup in the bed.  Find this 2004 Dodge Ram from 2 Fast 2 Furious, located in Los Angeles, CA via craigslist.

6k: Magazine-Rack Famous: 1989 Dodge Ram 50, 4G63-swapped

Unless you have a chop-top '57 Chevy, a Fox-body Mustang, or a K-swapped Civic, getting into a supermarket-variety car magazine probably isn't in your future. Those masters of ubiquity appeal to the bell curve of auto enthusiasts, unlike a DSM-swapped domestic truck from the late '80s – a time when Mitsubishis were Dodges, Chryslers were Mitsubishis, and Boy George may not have entirely been a boy. Find this 1989 Dodge Ram 50 with 2.0-liter 4G63 swap, featured on the dearly departed Modified Magazine, for sale in Worcester, MA for $5,500 via craigslist.

10k: Orange Blossom Special: 1993 Dodge Ram 3500

2k: Santa's Work Truck: 1988 Dodge Ram 350 Utility Truck

5k: A Clockwork Orange: 1983 Dodge Ram Van

The Stanley Kubrick directed A Clockwork Orange (1971) is a disturbing and thought-provoking film about violence and rehabilitation with a sublime classical soundtrack.  The basic premise is that a psychopath commits all kinds of horrible violent crimes, is locked up and subjected to a torture/therapy and is cured...but not really cured.  Anyway, the movie may be a classic, but why anyone would create a "Clockwork Orange" van (complete with a bed in the back) is completely lost on us.  Find this 1983 Dodge Ram Van custom for sale in Etowah, TN currenlty bidding on ebay for $4,051 reserve-not-met.
