1997 Dodge B2500 Explorer Day Van review from UK and Ireland
"Absolute space and comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have had with the van has been with the battery going flat. This was eventually traced to faulty after marker relays.
Apart from changing the battery, I have only had to change routine things like brake bads and oil filters.
General comments?
I purchased this van in the UK from a local dealer, because I wanted a vehicle with plenty of comfort.
In 2002 I drove through The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Right round the cost of Spain and into Portugal. This was a total distance of 5500 miles, in 17 days. Need I say More.
