1996 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Indy 500 Edition review from North America
"A dependable, affordable, great looking truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The EPA canister went out once, but it still ran perfect anyway, it just made the 'check engine' light come on.
General comments?
This truck has the best engine of any pickup I've ever drove! Runs like a clock.
Dependability is WAY better than the (3) Fords I've had since 1992! Only been in the shop for a check engine light and normal service.
This truck, even with the limited edition 'Indy 500' package, was a heck of a bargain (right at $20K) I haven't seen anything before or since that even compares to what I got with this truck in the same price category.
