About This 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab Long Bed

This Ram 1500 comes configured the way serious truck buyers want it — Quad Cab for extra passenger room, a Long Bed for maximum cargo capacity, and 4-wheel drive for when Oregon's weather stops cooperating. With 152,521 miles on the odometer, this truck has clearly been used, but that's the nature of a working pickup.

At $4,995, the price reflects the miles honestly, making this an accessible entry point for buyers who need a capable truck without financing a new one.

2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Dodge's legendary 5.9-liter V8, one of the most respected truck engines of its era. This engine produces strong low-end torque — exactly what you need for towing, hauling, or navigating rough terrain. Paired with an automatic transmission and full-time 4-wheel drive, this Ram handles Pacific Northwest conditions with confidence, whether you're heading up into the Cascades, pulling a trailer along the Willamette Valley, or just dealing with a wet Oregon winter.

The 4WD system gives you genuine off-road and all-weather capability, and the automatic transmission keeps daily driving relaxed. This isn't a pavement-only pickup — it's built to work.

Dodge Ram 1500 Features and Interior

The Quad Cab body style sets this truck apart from a standard cab. The rear doors and extended cab space give you genuine rear seating — room for a crew, kids, or gear that needs to stay dry. The Long Bed configuration adds serious cargo length over a short-bed, making it the right choice if you regularly haul lumber, equipment, or just need that extra room in the bed.

While this is a base-era work truck without modern infotainment screens, the interior is designed around function. You get the controls you need, visibility that trucks from this period are known for, and a cab layout that's intuitive and easy to live with day to day.

Dodge Ram 1500 Reliability and Ownership

The late-1990s and early-2000s Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.9-liter V8 has a strong reputation among truck enthusiasts for durability and longevity. The 5.9L Magnum V8 is considered one of the more robust engines Chrysler produced, with many examples surpassing 200,000 miles with routine maintenance. Common ownership experiences include very manageable repair costs, widely available parts at any auto parts store, and a massive community of owners and enthusiasts online who share knowledge and troubleshooting tips.

At over 152,000 miles, a pre-purchase inspection is always a smart move — particularly checking the cooling system, front suspension components, and transmission fluid condition. But buyers who go in with eyes open often find these trucks deliver years of reliable service well past this mileage mark.

What should I inspect before buying a used Ram 1500 at this mileage?

Focus on the cooling system (thermostat, hoses, radiator), front-end suspension and tie rods, transmission fluid color and smell, and any rust on the frame or undercarriage. Also check the 4WD engagement to make sure it shifts in and out properly.
