1996 Dodge Ram Single Cab Utility - Blue - 79,416 Miles - 5.9L V8 Automatic
Overview
The first-generation Dodge Ram, launched in 1994, revolutionised the American pickup truck market with its bold, forward-thinking design and genuine capability. This 1996 example represents the heart of that generation, powered by the legendary 5.9-litre V-angle eight-cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission. The single-cab configuration keeps things simple and purposeful, delivering a no-nonsense work truck with genuine performance credentials. The Ram's distinctive grille and aggressive stance made it an instant classic, and today these trucks command respect from both working users and enthusiasts alike.
This particular Ram presents in its original blue finish with white racing stripes running the length of the body, a striking colour combination that has aged well. The paint holds good gloss across the visible panels, with the characteristic patina of a vehicle that has seen genuine use. The single-cab body is clean and straight, with the bed showing honest wear consistent with a truck that has done its job. The interior features the original tan cloth trim with a functional dashboard layout typical of mid-1990s Dodge trucks. The steering wheel shows appropriate wear for the odometer reading of 79,416 miles. A modern aftermarket head unit has been fitted, bringing contemporary audio capability to the cabin. The truck sits on black steel wheels wearing Radial T/A tyres, presenting a purposeful stance.
At this price point, a genuine 5.9L V8 Ram with automatic transmission represents solid value for buyers seeking an honest, capable classic truck. These engines are known for durability and straightforward maintenance, and the automatic transmission removes the complexity of a manual gearbox. The single-cab configuration appeals to those who want truck functionality without the complexity of a crew cab, and the rear-wheel-drive setup is ideal for work or weekend use. This is a truck that will appeal to enthusiasts, working users, and collectors alike.
