1999 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT review from North America
"Excellent vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmisson flush at 50,000 due to slipping sounds in transmission.
General comments?
This is an excellent work truck and family vehicle. Ours has leather interior and is still in excellent shape. This truck is not a 4x4 and does not do well in mud or sand. We bought this truck used with 44,000 miles on it and the people before had taken very good care of it. We have made a 2000 mile trip and drive it everyday to work. Gas mileage averages at 15 mpg. The transmission slips when in overdrive when it needs to be flushed, about every 20,000 miles. I feel we have a luxury ride that does not cost us a lot.
