2018 Ram 2500 Tradesman Crew Cab 4x4 Cummins Snow Chief, Dual Alternators, and Six Years With One Wonder Lake Owner

This 2018 Ram 2500 Tradesman Crew Cab 4x4 with 78,952 miles was ordered as a work truck by someone who knew exactly what the work was. It has the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel a $9,200 line on the sticker with the diesel exhaust brake, the Snow Chief Group with anti-spin rear differential and on/off-road tires, dual 440-amp alternators, and an integrated trailer brake controller. And it has spent nearly its entire life with one owner in Wonder Lake, who has been putting about 13,000 miles a year on it since 2020.

The Cummins inline-six and 68RFE six-speed automatic are the reason people cross-shop this truck against everything else in the class: it pulls hard, idles quietly, and the exhaust brake takes the strain off the pads on a long downhill with a trailer behind. This one is set up for the plow-and-tow crowd. The Snow Chief Group adds the anti-spin differential, a transfer case skid plate, clearance lamps, LT275/70R18E on/off-road tires, and instrument-panel auxiliary switches ready for upfit; the dual alternators can feed a plow, a lift, or a light bar without complaint. The Cold Weather Group brings an engine block heater for the January starts. Power black trailer tow mirrors, ParkSense rear park assist, and the trailer brake controller round out the towing package. Inside is what a Tradesman should be a cloth 40/20/40 bench with under-seat and in-floor storage, Uconnect 3.0 with Bluetooth®, and floor mats front and rear dressed up a bit by the Chrome Appearance Group's bright bumpers, grille, and 18-inch chrome-clad wheels. Granite Crystal Metallic is the right color on it.

CARFAX shows this truck titled in Illinois from new first in Wonder Lake in 2019 for a few months, then to the owner who kept it from May 2020 until trading it to us this summer with 17 service records and no open recalls. CARFAX reports two events on the truck's history: damage reported in October 2021 to the front, left front, and right front, rated minor to moderate; and an accident in September 2025, described as minor damage from a front impact with another vehicle, airbags did not deploy. No structural damage is reported to CARFAX. We are glad to walk the front of this truck on video and go through both entries with you line by line.

The service record is steady: oil changes on schedule at local shops, and dealer visits at Crystal Lake CDJR and Kunes of Woodstock through 2025 for inspections, a cabin filter, alignment checks, and a computer reprogram. As with any truck of this age and mileage that has worked for a living, normal wear should be expected, and we are happy to show it closely in a walkaround video.
