1997 Dodge Ram Pickup Sport Club Cab review from North America
"Worth every $12k that I spent, and more!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission gave out, found out later that there is a defect with the 1997 overdrive button that effects the trans.
Radiator had to be changed 5 months after I got it, but was told that it was the original radiator.
Cruise control and AC went out, had to change the vaccum hose and recharge the freon.
General comments?
This truck is great for family weekends at the beach and camping.
Seats our family of 6 comfortably.
Interior is still immaculate, no wear and tear.
I have the total Premium package with tow package. It just makes driving totally enjoyable.
