DR facelift

For 1998, Dodge updated the second-generation Ram 2500 Pickup with a facelift that refreshed the front-end styling and kept the same basic body structure. The U.S. market continued to receive the heavy-duty 2500 through the end of this generation’s run. This facelifted phase remained in production until the next redesign for 2002.
