Hodson’s 1996 Ram: long bed, 12 valves, Carli suspension
The 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 in Hodson Motors’ current giveaway combines a Club Cab, long bed and four-wheel drive with a P-pump 12-valve Cummins. The published build list pairs it with a 47RE automatic and a Carli Backcountry three-inch suspension system.
The interesting part is how much of the equipment list concerns the chassis. Hodson Motors lists Carli long arms, reservoir shocks and progressive rear leaf packs, together with an adjustable track bar, extended sway-bar links and Thuren bumpstops. The suspension is a substantial part of the build’s identity, rather than a lift-height figure standing by itself.
The drivetrain list retains the stock turbo, injectors and exhaust while adding a 4,000-rpm governor spring and recording a KDP fix. Dana 70/60 axles, 4.10 gearing, 17-inch Method wheels and 35-inch Milestar Patagonia XT tires complete the published mechanical picture. Inside, the list includes an Apple CarPlay radio and backup camera. Mileage wording varies between “less than 175k” and “175k Miles,” so approximately 175,000 is the useful reading.
If you win: the rules offer $20,000 cash instead of the truck-and-$10,000 package. Taking the vehicle includes one plane ticket to Las Vegas; shipping is at the winner’s expense. Taxes, registration and any required Canadian import changes also fall to the winner. Confirm the current odometer and emissions eligibility before accepting.
Prize details are as described by the sponsor and its official rules. WTW has not inspected or driven the vehicle.
