1989 Dodge Raider review from North America
"A real work horse!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil pan has a big hole and I'm too cheap to replace it !
Gas tank has a hole at the top.
Clutch blew last year.
Engine is getting old.
Transmission will go soon.
General comments?
I love this truck. I know it wasn't a good choice for a first vehicle because it needs constant repair and has no air bags or working seat belts, but it has such personality that I fell in love the first time I saw one. I hate it when the Raider gets compared to the Isuzu. ugh.
