It’s not every day you come across a true modern Mopar classic with low miles, but this 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Daytona Regular Cab 4×4 is just that. With only 32,401 original miles, this truck is more than just a head-turner—it’s a time capsule from the golden era of Dodge performance pickups. And right now, it’s for sale at Lifted Trucks Humble in Humble, Texas, for $24,990.
The Ram Daytona was Dodge’s tribute to the legendary 1969 Charger Daytona, and it showed. Offered in Go ManGo or Bright Silver, these trucks were built to stand out, just like their muscle car ancestor. This one comes in Go ManGo and still rocks all the bold styling cues that made the Daytona famous: a massive bed-mounted spoiler, 11-inch matte black “Daytona” stripe across the rear fenders, and a sport-performance hood with functional ram air—borrowed straight from the Ram SRT-10. That’s a big step up from the Rumble Bee’s fake hood scoop.
Under the hood, you’ll find the tried-and-true 5.7-liter (345 cubic-inch) Gen3 HEMI® V8, pumping out 345 horsepower and mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. This one’s a 4×4, giving it extra capability, whether you’re on the trail or just want some added confidence in bad weather.
Inside, the Daytona package is based on the SLT trim. That means comfortable cloth seating, a large center console big enough to stash a laptop or your lunchbox, power accessories, keyless entry, CD stereo, and all the creature comforts that made these trucks great daily drivers back in the day.
A few extras set the Daytona apart: 20-inch chrome wheels, dual side exhaust, a serialized dash plate (this one is #3777), and a unique chrome fuel door. You won’t find gimmicks here—this was Dodge doing a special edition right, back when Ram wasn’t just phoning it in with recycled special editions with a few special paint colors like today’s “Built To Serve” editions.
This is one of those rare trucks that still retains its original character, hasn’t been modified, and is only becoming more collectible. If you’ve ever wanted a true mid-2000s muscle truck with street presence and real Mopar attitude, this Daytona 4×4 might just be the one.
You can check it out right now at LiftedTrucks.com for $24,990.
