Used Dodge Ram 2500 trucks for sale near Hazelwood, MO

Jad, The salesperson was absolutely fabulous! He really knew his stuff and shared everything with me without any pressure to purchase the vehicle. Probably the best salesman I've ever dealt with and I'm 72! Steve j. Sisson

I own a landscape business and there is nothing this truck can't pull. 9,000 lb dum trailer with skid steer to enclosed cargo trailer...truck does it all. Runs good and has huge gas tank so only have to fill up once a week. After owning this truck, I will never have a gas work truck again...no comparison.

Here is a review of my start to finish process of buying a car from Gateway Classic Cars, Ft. Lauderdale: ----- 1. The sales people who you work with are not on site. They're working remote so they don't have eyes on the car. ---- So, 2. You'll want to be connected with someone on site who can start and drive the car, provide a walkaround video, pictures of whatever you want and give their input. I worked with Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location for my purchase and he was outstanding with helping me to know the car before making an offer. He is the reason that this is a 5 star review. -------- 3. Hauling: They'll get you a quote for hauling the vehicle. I chose Nexus Transport myself to use. They were a bit cheaper and top rated by Forbes. That went just fine. --------- 4. These cars are all on consignment. So, I feel that you have to be a little more careful because you have another party who may not have disclosed things to Gateway. Best practice is to get a pre-buy done from someone like Lemon Squad. That being said, I was so comfortable with my deal, took the risk and waived the pre-buy. And in my case, the Prowler is a mint gem and I have no concerns after receiving it. Also, there is a common thought then you buy a car like this, you should budget 10% or so of the price for maintenance right after you get the car because stuff always comes up, otherwise, don't buy a used car. --------5. Since they're on consignment, they have commissions they charge the seller. As a buyer, I don't care if I see a commissions line on the purchase agreement. As long as my out the door number was what I offered, that's fine. --------6. I wired money to them and within a few hours, I had all the fully executed paperwork back in my hands. Title took about 3 weeks to receive by UPS. And the folder had everything I needed to register the car in my state. Wow! Thank you Barbara! ------ 7. So here is what breeds loyalty. Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location made sure the car was completely ready to be picked up including accessories that were bubble wrapped. The car was supposed to be picked up at Noon on Saturday, plenty of time before they closed at 5pm. He stayed until the truck arrived...very late....AT 1:30am Sunday morning!!!! (Otherwise, it would have sat until Tuesday). I cannot believe he did that for me. I received my car loading video at 2am. That's unbelievable service that deserves more than 5 stars. ------- Summary: I'd have zero issues with buying from Gateway again....they just operate in a different dealership style than what I'm used to, which is just fine.

I bought my 99 dodge ram 2500 slot quad cab 4x4 diesel new and now have over 320,000 miles on it. I have done a lot to it over the years to make it more reliable than original. Most people don't and that's where all the negativity comes from. Start off by replacing all the weak points of the vehicle when the time comes to replace it, only replace with better parts and you won't be sorry. Here's my list: power chip from stock 230 hp up to 350hp and 700 plus torque. Before that upgrade transmission and torque converter to handle the power, not much more money than your stock transmission that came in the truck. Upgrade your exhaust to 5" and upgrade your pickup fuel pump to an AirDog fuel and water separator. The stock transmission and torque converter will never handle more power than what came with the vehicle. Bigger exhaust will let the truck breath easier with the added power. Power chip gave the truck the power it should have had in the first place. The Air Dog system has a lifetime warranty and will replace your stock pickup pump which was junk to begin with. I just replaced the Air Dog pump after it went out recently and the company replaced it for free. Was installed about 10 years ago, try that with your stock pickup pump from dodge. Also replaced the front axle with one from an 2001 dodge. Better calipers and brakes.
