1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport review from North America
"One of the best trucks out there"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Top of steering wheel has started to wear.
Cat converter went out at 154,000 miles.
Very slight stumble (hardly noticeable) when accelerating from a complete stop.
The track bar wore out at 152,000 miles.
General comments?
Very comfortable truck. There's more interior space than other trucks of the same era.
Great styling.
Gets good mileage. About 17 highway, 15 in town.
One of the best trucks I've ever had.
My only complaint is that I was just in a minor front end collision, and trying to find a Sport front bumper and the 4" fog lights is tough.
