1983 Dodge Ram Pickup Royal 150 SE stepside shortbox review from North America
"Great value if you maintain it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first bought the truck, the seats were worn, the headlining in the interior was torn, plastic lining in the interior was missing, engine ran like a piece of crap, the body had lots of rust.
General comments?
This truck is powerful and reliable. I was not the original owner of my truck. I restored it. It is a superb little truck now, but it was not well looked after. If you take the time and care for the truck, it will perform very well, and it will be very comfortable and fun to drive.
