2002 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT review from North America
"Ram tough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than oil changes, absolutely nothing has gone wrong.
Great engine, excellent brakes, great cooling system.
General comments?
Just an all around good 'ol truck.
I'm used to driving high HP vehicles, and this Ram has more than enough power; you just have to know how to use it. It has boat loads of torque out of the box (light the tires and start some fires).
I had an F-150, but it wasn't even good - it was poor actually. I have driven 2008 Fords and Chevy's, and they both rattle, have poor load and tow ratings, not to mention MPG; in my Ram with a bed cover I pull 19-21 on the hwy.
Also a guy on a motorcycle drove into me at 45 mph while I was parked, and all that happened to the truck was a small dent in the bumper.
