Win a 2021 Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel from Mud Lick Outdoors

What you're looking at

The grand prize is a 2021 Ram 2500 powered by the 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel inline-six — the engine most heavy-duty buyers cross-shop this generation of Ram for in the first place. Mud Lick Outdoors is upfront that this is a used truck: it's disclosed at approximately 110,000 miles and "will be awarded in existing condition," with the usual caveat that it may carry ordinary cosmetic and mechanical wear from prior use. The rules don't state the trim, cab, bed length, color, or whether it's 2WD or 4WD, so treat this as a known drivetrain on an unknown spec sheet until the sponsor confirms more.

Why it matters

Diesel three-quarter-tons hold their value better than almost anything else with a six-figure odometer, which is exactly why a 110k-mile Cummins is still a real prize and not a throwaway. The 6.7 is built to run well past this mileage with maintenance, and a 2500 diesel does the towing-and-hauling work that gas half-tons can't. The flip side: a heavy diesel with this many miles is also where the bigger maintenance items — injectors, the emissions system, the transmission — start to come due, so the true value swings hard on service history and trim. A loaded Laramie is worth far more than a base Tradesman 2WD, and the rules leave that question open.

The fine print worth knowing

The sponsor lists an approximate retail value of $40,000; our own read of the comps puts a realistic transactable number lower, nearer the low-to-mid $30Ks for an unknown-trim diesel at this mileage — see the value notes. There is no cash alternative except at the sponsor's sole discretion, and the winner is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes, plus title, registration, insurance, and licensing. The giveaway runs May 27 through July 27, 2026 (Central Time), and one winner is chosen by a randomized drawing; the exact draw date isn't published in the rules. The no-purchase route is real and straightforward: mail a handwritten entry with your name, address, email, and phone to Mud Lick Outdoors in Gamaliel, KY, one entry per envelope, postmarked before the end date. Paid entries come bundled with merch purchases — the homepage frames it as "$1 = 10 entries," but the rules say the exact entry count is shown on each product page, so confirm the ratio at checkout before reading anything into it.
