1987 Dodge D50 review from North America
"I'd buy another just like it if they still made them."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At approximately 80,000 miles had to replace factory tires.
At approximately 86,000 miles had to do a tune-up.
At approximately 100,000 miles had to replace rotors, pads, shoes, etcetera.
At approximately 168,000 miles loaned the truck to my sister and it came back with a blown head gasket. At 285,000 miles replaced alternator.
At approximately 175,000 miles had to replace the tires.
General comments?
When my truck was new, the average miles per gallon it got was 33. At its present mileage, the average miles per gallon is 28.
I think this is probably the best truck around.
