The others know better , I still prefer the 98.5 to 02 CTD 2500's myself .
A big plus for the 05 is it's PRE DEF ... If I didn't think the front end was ugly , and I prefer the suicide door cab , I'd consider stepping up .
Steered like crap, trans needed upgraded off the showroom floor, and was begging for power upgrades. Very few out there that the dashes haven’t crumbled in yet….. but the A/C absolutely ROCKED in that era pickup. I “kinda” miss my 01, but our 17 3500 is soooo much more relaxing to drive. I REALLY like the 14-18 Rams.
