This 1993 Dodge Ram W250 LE Club Cab represents the final year of Dodge's first-generation Cummins trucks before the redesigned body arrived for 1994, which makes a clean, well-kept example like this one worth a closer look. It spent its life in Washington and North Carolina through 2023, well away from road salt, and it shows the undercarriage is rust-free and has been treated with Ducarle undercoating, while a lifetime Ceramic Pros ceramic coating was applied to the truck, windows and wheels in 2023 to keep the finish protected going forward.
The heart of the truck is the 5.9L inline-six 12-valve Cummins turbodiesel, the engine that built this platform's reputation for durability and easy, torque-rich towing. Behind it is a heavy-duty, custom-built BD automatic transmission paired with an HD torque converter a setup chosen to stand up to the Cummins' output far better than a stock unit and to make this a confident tow rig. A 409 stainless steel exhaust handles the gases, and 4.10 gearing keeps the truck pulling hard where it matters. It's a powertrain combination built around the way these trucks actually get used.
The supporting hardware follows the same theme. Braking has been upgraded to discs at all four corners, and the truck rolls on BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires measuring a healthy 12/32 of tread. For towing duty there's a Commander electric trailer brake controller, and the driver keeps an eye on the diesel's vitals through Isspro pyrometer and transmission temperature gauges mounted cleanly on the A-pillar. Inside, this LE trim includes power windows and locks, and the cab has been brought up to date with a Sony touchscreen Bluetooth head unit, with a TRC-415 CB radio along for the ride.
First-generation Cummins trucks have become genuinely sought-after, prized for the simplicity and longevity of the 12-valve and for being the platform that put Dodge diesels on the map. This one combines that desirable foundation with sensible, towing-focused upgrades and the kind of rust-free, climate-favored history that's getting harder to find.
