2018 RAM 2500 TRADESMAN POPULAR EQUIPMENT HEMI BRILLIANT BLACK 4K WALKAROUND 16717Z
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video presents a comprehensive 4K walkaround of a pristine 2018 RAM 2500 Crew Cab short box, currently available at Summit Auto in Wisconsin. This specific unit is finished in Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl and comes equipped with the Tradesman package, complemented by the popular equipment group, the Snow Chief group, and the chrome appearance package. The truck features a powerful 6.4-liter V8 HEMI engine generating 410 horsepower and 429 foot-pounds of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission that includes optional tap-shift functionality. It is listed as stock number 16717Z and boasts a clean title history from New York, having been fully safety inspected, serviced with fresh oil and filters, and topped off with all necessary fluids to ensure it is ready for immediate use.
Exterior inspection reveals a vehicle in exceptional condition with highly reflective paint that shows no signs of significant wear despite its age. The truck rides on 18-inch steel wheels with chrome covers and nearly new Supermax LT275/70R18 tires, retaining approximately 70 to 80 percent of their original tread. Key features include the 4x4 Off-Road package with Bilstein shocks, factory-painted step bars, a Husky toolbox, and comprehensive mud flaps designed to protect the lower rockers from debris. The bodywork is free from major dents or rust, though minor corrosion is noted underneath without affecting structural integrity, and the only cosmetic imperfection is a single tiny touch-up spot on the tailgate. Additional utility features include full towing equipment with a receiver hitch, four-pin and seven-pin wiring, backup parking sensors, and a spray-in Line-X bed liner that extends to the tailgate.
Moving inside, the cabin offers a clean gray cloth interior with 40/20/40 split bench seating in the front and rear, showing no rips, tears, or smoke damage. The dashboard houses a digital speedometer, an outside temperature display, and a backup camera system integrated into the rear-view mirror. Driver controls are well-preserved, featuring information center and Bluetooth buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, cruise controls on the right, and a central console equipped with climate controls, factory brake controller, downhill assist, stability control, tow/haul mode, and five auxiliary upfitter switches. The vehicle has accumulated only 40,301 miles, and the interior includes practical amenities such as three cup holders, USB ports, 12-volt power outlets, child safety locks, and fixed glass rear windows with ample storage space underneath.
Under the hood, the engine bay appears very clean and runs smoothly without any exhaust manifold leaks or check engine lights, aside from a low fuel warning. The presenter highlights the quality of the LED cab lights and the overall mechanical soundness of the truck, emphasizing that it has been thoroughly maintained by the service shop. With its combination of heavy-duty capability, modern technology, and immaculate condition, this RAM 2500 is presented as an excellent value for buyers seeking a reliable workhorse or daily driver. Viewers are encouraged to visit the dealership's website for full photo galleries and descriptions of this vehicle and their other inventory, which includes new and used trucks, SUVs, and minivans.

Hey everybody, this is Brett providing
with the most in depth and accurate 4K
vehicle reviews and walk arounds on the
internet. Thank you so much for choosing
my video. I really appreciate it and I
hope everybody's having a great day out
there today. I'm having a great day
because I get to do videos with some of
the best looking and cleanest RAM 2500
trucks in the state of Wisconsin and
bring to them bring them to you each and
every day here at Summit Auto. This is
no exception. This is a 2018 RAM 2500
Crew Cab short box. This one has the
Tradesman package with the popular
equipment group, the snow chief group,
and the chrome appearance package. It is
stock number 16 717Z and I am here at
Summit Auto once again, your new and
used heavy duty truck and RAM
headquarters. This 2018 RAM 2500 has a
6.4 L V8 HEMI engine puts out 410
horsepower, 429
foot-pounds of torque. It is paired up
with the six-speed automatic
transmission and this truck has been
fully safety and inspected by our
service shop. Has a fresh oil and filter
change. All the fluids have been checked
and topped off and this thing is 100%
ready to go. And really quick note guys,
I shoot all my videos in 4K. So if you
have HD capabilities on a computer,
tablet, or smartphone, turn them on now
cuz it is your best way to check out the
quality and condition of the truck
before seeing it in person. Let's get
started. This is a one owner clean title
history, clean Carfax out of New York.
And speaking of New York, if you're
watching the video on YouTube, let me
know in the comments below where you're
watching the video from. I always love
seeing where our viewers, subscribers,
and future subscribers are watching
from. If you are new to the videos and
the channel, welcome. Thank you so much
for joining us. What I'm going to do is
go all the way around on this truck.
We're going to go inside, underneath,
start it up, going to show you all the
options, and give you the most accurate
representation I can of this vehicle.
And if you like how the truck looks and
want to see what we use to work on
trucks, there are Amazon affiliate link
in the description below. There's a link
to all the stuff we use there.
Buy anything, we get a a bit of the cut.
Comes with the 18-in uh
steel wheels with the chrome covers.
And this one has Supermax tires on here.
These are LT275/70R18s,
and they are pretty new tires. I would
say probably 70-80% of the tread left on
them. This one does have the Bilstein
shocks as it has the 4x4 off-road
package, and the frame and unibody looks
like it's in pretty nice shape. You do
get the fender flares on this one as
well as the mud flaps. I always
recommend putting mud flaps on any
vehicle you guys get cuz you get the
lower rockers staying looking really
good.
Even though this is an '18, those look
great. Front fenders in excellent
condition. Headlight lenses are nice and
clear, and the front bumper is in
excellent condition as well.
The grill is in nice shape.
And the hood is in excellent condition.
I didn't see any dents or dings on
there. Does have the cab lights up top.
Passenger side front fender is in nice
shape. And the passenger side front
wheel is in nice condition as well.
This color is called Brilliant Black
Crystal Pearl, one of my favorite blacks
out there. It's got a lot of metal flake
in it.
Purples, greens, aquas. Really
good-looking color, and you can see just
how nice that paint is for a 2018. Looks
really good. As you go down this side of
this 2018 Ram 2500, take note of how
clean the body is. How reflective and
mirror-like that paint is once again.
I take these HD videos, so if you're far
away or even if you're close by and you
just cannot make the trip down, but
you're still interested in purchasing
the vehicle, you can see the truck, hear
the truck, and have confidence in what
you're looking at before you even get
here. So, when you do get here, there's
absolutely no surprises, and you can
make a smart and informed buying
decision from wherever you're at. And if
this video helps you make that buying
decision or just make the decision to
come take a look at the truck, let your
salesman know that you saw the video, it
was helpful, and that Brett sent you.
Back wheels in nice shape as well. And
the back tires have just as much tread
as the front tires.
Again, frame and underbody looks pretty
good there.
It's like that all the way underneath.
A little bit of corrosion, but nothing
too bad.
Lower rockers and cab corners look
really good. I didn't see any
rust there. Bubbles, looks good. Nice
factory painted step bars on here as
well. Does come with this Husky toolbox.
And uh
that's pretty nice.
Little dish in there.
That shuts nicely. Coming around to the
back, you get the 4x4 off-road package
there. Backup parking sensors.
Rear bumper is in nice shape. Full
towing package, which includes receiver
hitch, four-pin and seven-pin wiring.
Tailgate is in very nice condition. I
didn't see any major dents or dings in
there. Only thing to disclose really is
there's just one tiny little touch-up
spot right there, but nothing terrible.
Comes with a Line-X spray-in bed liner.
That is in really nice shape as is the
bed. That spray-in bed liner goes on to
the tailgate, which is great.
Tailgate shuts nice and solidly. Coming
around to the driver side, just as clean
as that passenger side.
Got the mud flaps on back as well.
And for full disclosure, this back wheel
is in excellent condition, too.
Down the rest of the side of the truck,
cab and doors all look fantastic.
This one does have the heated power
mirrors, built-in directional signals.
Let's take a quick look at the back
seats.
Inside, you get the gray cloth interior.
No rips, no tears on the seats. You get
the latch child safety system for any
child car seats you may have. Fixed
glass rear window.
You get some nice floor mats back here
as well.
Storage underneath, and you get in-floor
storage as well as some auxiliary wiring
for um trailers, and then you also have
receiver hitch reducer.
Very nice and clean back here. You also
get the child safety locks on the back
doors, and the inside and bottoms of the
doors
all look really, really good on this
truck, as do the cab corners.
I didn't see any corrosion on that.
Here's the VIN sticker. No Canadian
market trucks here.
And then the tire and loading
information sticker.
Up front, Tradesman package gives you
the gray cloth interior, 40/20/40 split
bench seating in the front.
No rips, no tears. Smells very clean
inside this truck. I don't think it's
been smoked in.
Power, or I should say a factory format,
auto headlamps, tilt steering wheel,
power windows, locks, and mirrors. Hop
inside, check out the miles, the radio,
and everything that this one has to
offer on the interior.
You can see this one has 40,301
mi on it. Pretty low miles, and yes,
we're going to be putting some fuel in
here right after this video. Outside
temperature display, digital
speedometer, and the instrument cluster
is very nice and clean.
Comes with the uh information center
controls and Bluetooth controls on the
left of the steering wheel, cruise
controls on the right. Steering wheel's
in pretty nice shape, no major wear on
there.
There's your shifter for that six-speed
automatic transmission with the optional
tap shift. And this one has AM, FM, and
Sirius XM radio capabilities on here.
Volume and tune controls, climate
controls, turn dial four-wheel drive,
you have your factory brake controller,
downhill assist controls, stability
control, tow/haul, and your rear rear
reverse parking sensors. Uh you can turn
those off and on. Five auxiliary
upfitter switches. Get a 12-V power
point right there.
Uh USB plug-in right there.
And you get a little bit of a storage
area and a couple pennies
come with this truck.
Three cup holders on that center
console.
Passenger side floor mat and seat
excellent condition as well. And the
headliner's in really nice shape. I
didn't see any rips or tears or major
stains up there.
And uh I think this one has the
auto-dimming mirror.
There's your backup cam and that shows
up in the rear-view camera there or
rear-view mirror.
And the windshield is in excellent
condition. I didn't see any chips or
cracks on there. Looks really good.
Let's start it up and take a look under
the hood.
Starts right up. No check engine lights
or anything like that other than
says we're low on fuel. We almost got a
quarter tank though.
Let's take a look. I would personally
like to thank you for checking out the
video today and hopefully from this HD
video you've been able to verify the
quality, condition, options, and of
course cleanliness of this truck inside
and out. For being a 2018 she's in
really nice shape.
Oh, check that out. We got some really
sweet LED cab lights up there.
Those look great.
Get those for my truck.
Under the hood we have the 6.4 L V8 Hemi
engine. 410 horse, 429 foot pounds of
torque. Engine bay is very clean, runs
very smooth. And once again, this truck
has been fully safety and inspected by
our service shop. Has a fresh oil and
filter change. All the fluids have been
checked and topped off. Shocks do a
great job holding that hood up.
There is the emission sticker.
And this truck is
100% ready to go. I would highly
recommend it from a quality and
condition standpoint considering the age
on it. She's in really nice condition.
Nice and quiet. No exhaust manifold
leaks or anything.
Think whoever's going to get this one is
going to absolutely love it.
Really a good looking truck.
