Tow Worthy H.O. Cummins Diesel

Tow While Getting 18-20 MPG


Cummins powered pickups hold their value for a reason.  This 2004.5 Ram 25000HD is a perfect example to why.


With only 110K miles on the clock and being a Florida born Cummins, this particular example offers its new owner a ton of investment potential.  A stock, untuned Cummins powered pickup can have an average lifespan of 350,000 miles and many have reached far beyond the 500,000 mile milestone.

This stock, untuned/unmodified Ram 2500 is a perfect candidate for someone looking for a vehicle in which to tow.  Without a load, this Cummins power-plant is averaging around 23 MPG City/Highway combined.  In tow, you’d still likely see around 16-18 MPG due to the two-wheel-drive setup.

We just picked this 2004.5 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins Long Bed Quad Cab apart.  We performed the 100K mile scheduled maintenance and much more.  For full details, photos and video, check out our inventory pages.
