Video 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.
