IMPORTANT NOTICE: RBP Automotive Inc. will be closed for our annual summer vacation from June 22, 2026, through July 12, 2026, and will reopen on July 13, 2026. Any inquiries received during this time will be addressed upon our return. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. This 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie SLT Plus Quad Cab Short Bed 4x4 is a well-kept example of the sought-after 5.9L Cummins platform, paired with the NV4500 5-speed manual transmission and 4-wheel drive. Known for its durability, simplicity, and long-term reliability, the 5.9L Cummins remains one of the most respected diesel engines produced. With 209,262 miles, this truck reflects consistent use supported by recent mechanical work and overall care.
Finished in Dark Garnet Red Pearlcoat over a black leather interior, this truck presents very clean with a well-maintained exterior and a straight body that shows well for its age. It rides on aftermarket 16-inch wheels wrapped in Dean Back Country Mud Terrain tires (285/75R16), giving it a more aggressive stance, while a spray-in bedliner adds durability and usability. Carr single steps are fitted on both sides, providing easy access while maintaining a clean, functional look.
The interior is in very clean condition and reflects careful ownership, featuring black leather seating with woodgrain trim throughout. As a Laramie SLT Plus, it is well equipped with heated and power front seats, offering a comfortable and well-appointed cabin. The seating surfaces, carpeting, and trim show minimal wear consistent with the mileage, and the truck includes its original owner’s manuals along with two sets of original keys and key fobs.
Mechanically, the truck runs and drives excellent with strong, consistent power delivery and a tight, confident feel on the road. Recent service includes new Bilstein 4600 series shocks, a complete front-end rebuild with new tie rods, track bar, sway bar links, and steering damper, followed by a fresh alignment. The A/C system has been serviced, and the drivetrain has been extensively addressed with a full transmission overhaul including a new clutch kit, new flywheel, synchronizer kit, and bearing kit. A straight pipe exhaust has also been installed, giving the truck a more pronounced diesel tone while maintaining its overall drivability.
Exterior condition is very clean overall, with only minor cosmetic imperfections consistent with age and mileage, and nothing that detracts from its overall presentation.
A clean, well-maintained Cummins-powered Ram that combines the durability of the NV4500 manual transmission with a solid maintenance foundation and a well-equipped Laramie SLT Plus interior—ready for continued use.
Trucks like this continue to be sought after, especially in manual transmission configuration, and are becoming increasingly difficult to find in this kind of condition.
