1996 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT Sport Ext Cab review from North America
"A great looking and performing pick-up"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the front axle bearings seized up at 80,000 miles.
The starter is going (right now) at 103,000 miles.
No real problems or excessive wear with the truck, still looks great.
General comments?
This truck offers a nice quite ride for a pick-up. I do a lot of driving and it has power to spare (with the 5.9 V8) and good handling.
I have a black colored Sport SLT package with extended cab and it is more of a head turner than I expected.
Totally satisfied.
