Default are these 4th gens a good deal

i found 2 4th gens i really like i think they both have the hemi, and the one has a tow package was looking for the hemi with the 4.10s so im sure with towing package it would come with 3.92 or 4.10 here they are

http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/ctd/2026591173.html

i really wanted a ram under 30 k as i dont make much money right now !

im sure i could sell my 2nd gen for about 8or 9xxx

No such thing as a tow package on a 4th gen 1500. You can get a class 4 hitch, but that is it. Only truck that comes with 4.10 is the RT, gears are most likely 3.55

As for a good deal, hard to say since they don't say what model they are or which engine. Both look something like an ST since the filler panel above the bumper doesn't match the truck. I'd look at the sticker and see what the full equip list is before deciding if they are a deal.

They are both more than I paid for my 2009 SLT crewcab, but who knows what prices are like now.

Guess it was easy enough to go to their website and look:
1st truck is a 4.7L Quad Cab ST - good price, not really

2nd truck is a 4.7L Crewcab ST - also not a very good price

An RT isn't for towing, it comes in Regular cab only and is the truck version of a rice burner.

There is too a tow package on the 4th gens, but people get a little confused about them. The true tow package is the tow mirrors with a 3.92 gear ratio. It's not listed on their website, but it is how it's listed between dealers and Chrysler.

Got an option code to support that statement?

Nope, but tell me, why does it state "TOW PACKAGE" on build sheets with rams that are equipped as such?

Went to the website that the dealer listed and searched their online inventory for the trucks they had listed on craigslist. Then when you are on the detail page there is a link to see the window sticker.
