So family has grown and have gone through a few cars since the "Divi's Beast from the North East"

2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon X
2015 Subaru WRX limited
2016 Ram 2500
2012 VW GTI

now it is time to get back into a truck. Gave the cousin a call at the local Ram dealer and he found an bought a truck for me in two days. This is where it gets interesting

2015 Ram 1500 Crew SLT, he sent me some pictures and I said there is no way it could be an SLT or some one modified it. He replied with an older gentleman owned it and it just came off lease.

What I saw in the pics, Body color front and rear bumpers, body color fender flares, sport hood, black 20 inch ram rims.

I got the Vin from him did some digging and found that it is a Pittsburgh Penguins edition Ram. which adds all listed above and decals, floor mats and sill plates along with dual zone, heated wheel and seats.


At this point I haven't seen the truck as its not here yet and is in transit. I run over on lunch to the dealer to put a deposit sight unseen with stipulation if its crap I get my money back. While there he prints the window sticker for the truck and we are shocked again to find that it is actually a Big Horn with a Pittsburgh Penguins package. so it adds a slew of other features and add-ons. There is also 14 months remaining on the 3 year warranty.

Feeling like I got a steal of a deal for this one, KBB puts it at a value of $34,000.00 and I'm paying an already agreed price of $28,000.00. That is if its not a POS, but judging by the few pics I was sent its in great shape.


Pretty crazy.

Sounds like a nice truck. How many miles on it? 2wd or 4wd?

never heard of the package but enjoy. while waiting you could look at the bumper to bumper lifetime warranty from chrysler. should be 2600.00. might be worth it if you plan on keeping it for awhile. as always, read the fine print.

Everything I'm finding about this edition shows that it's an Outdoorsman.

even weirder is my truck was bought at auction in PA, where he is from, but mine was a leased vehicle and car fax shows only one owner. He would be the second owner of his truck as he got it with 7k on the clock. small world.

I'm guessing most people remove the stickers and doodads. Once those are removed, you have a Big Horn with 3.92 gears, heated seats and wheel, and a sport hood. That's a nice truck. Are the seats cloth or leather?

Cloth, don't think its premium though.

Difficult to see the condition of the paint through the dirt

Looks like it says Outdoorsman on the back? Also, those are the premium seats. Power driver, manual passenger.

It looks like an Outdoorsman and a Sport made love. It's a new trim level. The Sportsman!
