Product Description
FOR SALE: 2023 RAM 5500 4X4 BUCKET TRUCK – DUR-A-LIFT DTAX2-42 – 47' WORKING HEIGHT – LOW MILES – FACTORY WARRANTY
Offered for sale is a 2023 Ram 5500 4x4 Bucket Truck equipped with a Dur-A-Lift DTAX2-42 insulated aerial lift, an exceptionally versatile and late-model utility truck designed for electric utility contractors, telecommunications companies, sign installation contractors, municipalities, streetlight maintenance departments, property maintenance firms, and general aerial service providers. Combining the rugged off-road capability of the Ram 5500 chassis with a modern insulated aerial device and remarkably low mileage, this truck represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a nearly new bucket truck with remaining factory warranty coverage and years of productive service ahead.
Powered by the legendary Cummins ISB 6.7L turbo diesel engine producing 360 horsepower and paired with the highly respected Aisin AS69RC 6-speed automatic transmission, this truck delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and durability. The Cummins diesel platform is widely regarded as one of the most dependable powerplants available in the medium-duty truck market, while the commercial-grade Aisin transmission provides excellent drivability and long-term dependability under demanding working conditions. The truck is also equipped with an exhaust brake, helping improve downhill control and reduce service brake wear. A large 52-gallon fuel tank provides excellent operating range for daily utility and contractor operations.
Built on a Class 5 medium-duty chassis with a 19,500 lb GVWR, this Ram features a highly desirable 4x4 drivetrain with a limited-slip differential and a manual shift-on-the-fly transfer case. This combination provides exceptional traction and mobility when operating in construction sites, utility easements, undeveloped properties, storm recovery areas, and other challenging environments where two-wheel-drive trucks may struggle. The chassis is supported by a 7,000 lb front axle and a 13,500 lb rear axle and rides on a heavy-duty spring suspension system. Hydraulic brakes provide confident stopping power while all-steel wheels contribute to long-term durability.
Mounted on the chassis is a Dur-A-Lift DTAX2-42 aerial device featuring a combination articulating and telescopic boom design. The unit provides a maximum 47-foot working height, 42-foot platform height, and 28-foot side reach, allowing operators to efficiently access power lines, communication infrastructure, signs, lighting systems, and elevated work areas. The boom is insulated to Category C standards, making it suitable for utility applications when operated according to applicable industry safety standards.
The aerial lift features continuous rotation and a desirable 180-degree platform rotator, allowing operators to precisely position the bucket and significantly increase productivity while working aloft. The platform accommodates one occupant and is rated for a 350-pound capacity. Additional features include platform tilt functionality and simple, intuitive single-handle upper controls that provide smooth and precise operation.
One of the most attractive aspects of this truck is its outrigger-free design. Unlike many traditional bucket trucks, the DTAX2-42 does not require outriggers, dramatically reducing setup time and increasing productivity when multiple service calls are performed throughout the day. The bottom-mounted boom configuration further enhances maneuverability while maintaining a compact overall footprint.
Finished in white with a gray regular cab interior, the truck is equipped with air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and power door locks. Additional factory equipment includes the Tradesman Level 1 Equipment Group, Uconnect 3 infotainment system with a 5-inch touchscreen display, integrated voice command functionality, and a ParkView rear backup camera. Notes indicate the truck is a one-owner vehicle with a clean CARFAX report and that the remainder of Ram's 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty remains in effect.
With only 24,723 miles and 1,816 operating hours, this truck is exceptionally low mileage and low hour for a utility vehicle. The combination of four-wheel-drive capability, Cummins diesel power, Aisin automatic transmission, insulated Dur-A-Lift aerial device, outrigger-free operation, remaining factory warranty, one-owner history, and clean CARFAX makes this one of the most desirable compact bucket truck configurations available on the market today.
