Somewhere between muscle car and workhorse lies this very cool 1988
Dodge Ram pickup. This aggressive red truck has a nicely enhanced
V8, plenty of work-ready sensibilities, and best of all, a loaded
A/C interior to keep you comfortable no matter how you want to
enjoy this Ram.
This pickup has one of the coolest presences around. Big 20-inch
wheels, and an aggressive stance mix nicely with the factory
elements like the protruding Ram hood ornament and bright bumpers.
But overall, it's the blocky, muscular bodylines that make this one
cool intimidating machine. It's especially nice that the smooth red
paint highlights how solid the body is - that's a near-miracle on a
vehicle designed to be used as a work tool. But don't think of this
one as a trailer queen. Beneath the folding bed cover is plenty of
space to haul home your Home Depot run, and the trailer ball on the
rear step bumper can tow even larger loads. So this one is how to
look cool during the week, and be envied as you haul around the
toys on the weekends.
Inside is even more bold red. The cloth bench looks great and has
been padded correctly to be extra comfy. Plus, it coordinates
nicely with the door panels, dash, carpeting, and headliner. The
classic two-spoke Dodge steering wheel gives you an excellent grip,
and it provides an unobstructed view of the tri-pod gauge setup.
You can easily enjoy this one over the long haul thanks to a long
option list that includes power windows and locks. There's also
great upgrades like the AM/FM/CD stereo and ice-cold R134a air
conditioning. But even with all these features, we bet you'll just
love opening the vent windows and sliding the rear glass open to
get that perfect breeze flowing through the cab while you enjoy the
country backroads.
The moment you lay eyes on the 360 cubic-inch motor, you know there
is plenty going on with the V8. After all, those Mopar Performance
valve covers and matching air topper are not stock. And beneath
that you'll find go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, a hotter camshaft, and
headers. So while Dodge's 360 is a mainstay of reliability, this
one also can put fear into others with the unmistakable throaty
rumble out of the exhaust. It has an amazing sound like no other in
our showroom, and the power is on demand when you push the go
pedal. No matter if you use this as a hauler or a muscle machine,
you'll be glad to have great features like a three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes backing you
up.
A classic and powerful Ram like this means you get to be the most
interesting person at the jobsite, or campsite, or concert tailgate
- all for an unbelievably affordable price. Don't let this
opportunity slip by. Call now!!
