1987 Dodge Raider review from North America
"Good all-around off road vehicle. Best going"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed Alternator at 125,000 miles.
Replaces Exhaust at 132,000 miles.
Rear U-Joints went out at 215,435 miles.
Water Pump and Timing Chain went out at 315,263 miles.
General comments?
Probably the best 4-wheel drive vehicle I've ever owned. I've had Jeeps, Toyota Land Cruisers and a Chevy 4x4 pickup, but I'll take my ole Raider any day.
The only real fault I have to the vehicle is that it LIKES gas, and was a little top heavy around corners, but $1200 and John Baker Performance fixed the leaning problem.
