Tough, Trusted, and Ready to Work: 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 ST with 5.9L Cummins Diesel
By tlachance | Posted in Uncategorized on Wednesday, May 14th, 2025 at 9:26 pmAt Red Deer Motors, we know that some trucks just don’t go out of style — and the 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 ST is a perfect example. Built during the golden era of diesel power, this Ram is equipped with the legendary 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel, making it a favourite among towing pros, haulers, and diesel enthusiasts alike.
Power That Lasts
The heart of this heavy-duty pickup is its 5.9L inline-six Cummins diesel engine, known for its durability, simple design, and long service life. Producing up to 305 horsepower and an impressive 555 lb-ft of torque, this powerplant can easily handle trailers, equipment, or whatever your workday demands. It’s also one of the last Ram trucks to feature the pre-emissions Cummins, free from complex emissions systems that came later, making it easier and more affordable to maintain.
Rear-Wheel Drive with Heavy-Duty Grit
This 4×2 (rear-wheel drive) setup keeps things simple and efficient, ideal for drivers who spend more time on the road or job site than off-road. It offers excellent towing stability and better fuel economy compared to its 4×4 counterparts — a practical choice for serious work without the extra weight or cost of a four-wheel-drive system.
Quad Cab Comfort
This Ram 3500 features the Quad Cab layout, offering seating for up to six with a rear bench that folds up for extra storage. The ST trim is built for function, with a no-nonsense interior designed for durability and easy cleanup. Whether you’re heading to the job site or loading up for a weekend project, this truck delivers what you need without unnecessary frills.
Built for Towing and Payload
The 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 was engineered for real work. With its heavy-duty frame, dual rear wheels (if equipped), and high payload and towing capacities, it’s more than capable of hauling trailers, fifth-wheels, or work equipment. Whether you’re in agriculture, construction, or towing RVs, this truck has the backbone to back you up.
