1997 Dodge Ram 3500 12v. If you’ve been waiting for a true survivor, this is it. This 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 single cab 4x4 is powered by the legendary 12-valve Cummins diesel — the motor that built a reputation for reliability, power, and longevity. This truck was purchased brand new by a North Carolina fire department and has been in their fleet since day one. It’s been meticulously maintained, used lightly, and stored indoors for most of its life. With only 33,000 original miles, this is as close as you’ll get to a time capsule from the golden age of diesel trucks. Outfitted with a heavy-duty service bed, this rig is ready to go to work or show. The body is clean, the interior is in great shape minus the steering wheel and everything functions as it should. no A/C from factory
About this machine
This 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 is a used service and utility truck — a category of heavy-duty commercial vehicle, sometimes called a work truck, built to carry equipment, tools, and personnel to job sites and support maintenance, repair, and field service operations. Dodge, a long-established American vehicle manufacturer with a heritage spanning light to heavy-duty commercial trucks, has supplied fleet vehicles across municipal, industrial, and emergency service sectors for generations.
At the heart of this truck is the 12-valve Cummins diesel engine, widely regarded as one of the most durable and dependable diesel powerplants ever fitted to a light-heavy truck, and a major draw for buyers seeking long-term reliability with minimal complexity. The truck is configured as a single cab, four-wheel-drive unit, giving it the traction and capability to operate across varied terrain and working conditions. It is outfitted with a heavy-duty service bed, making it ready for practical deployment in a trade, maintenance, or fleet support role from day one.
The documented provenance of this truck is particularly notable. It was purchased new by a North Carolina fire department and remained in that fleet from new, meaning it has a known, single-owner history under institutional care. It has been lightly used throughout its life, meticulously maintained, and stored indoors for the majority of its service period. The result is an odometer reading of just 33,000 original miles — a genuinely low figure for a 1997-model vehicle now in its late twenties.
Condition is reported as clean throughout: the body presents well, and the interior is described as being in great shape, with the exception of the steering wheel. All functions are reported to be working as they should. It is noted that this truck was not equipped with air conditioning from the factory. The truck is located in North Carolina, USA, and is offered at $39,500.
