1997 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Laramie Extended Cab 4x4
Here is a very clean, well-preserved example of Dodge’s iconic second-generation Ram pickup. This 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Laramie Extended Cab 4WD has just 132,806 miles and stands out for its solid body, good frame, excellent interior, and strong-running 5.9-liter V8.
Finished in white with chrome trim and chrome wheels, this Ram has the bold, unmistakable styling that made these trucks so popular. The extended cab provides extra interior room, while the long bed adds plenty of everyday practicality.
Under the hood is Dodge’s dependable 5.9-liter Magnum V8, paired with an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. It runs and drives great, shifts properly, and feels solid on the road.
The biggest story with this truck is its condition. The body is extremely clean, the frame is solid, and there is no rust-through. The underside shows normal surface aging for a truck of this vintage, but the important structural areas remain solid and present very well.
Inside, the tan leather SLT Laramie interior is exceptionally clean. The seats, carpeting, dashboard, door panels, and trim all show that this truck has been well cared for. The extended cab gives you additional passenger space and storage while retaining the classic two-door pickup profile.
