1997 Dodge Ram Pickup Laramie SLT review from North America

My truck has held up very well since I have purchased it. I once replaced the wheel bearing. I also had to replace the steering A-arm and that's about it. Now my O2 sensor is going, but I guess that is expected in a 9 year old vehicle. The body has no rust. I only replace the bumper due to hitting a deer.

I have had the truck three years now and have put on 74,500 miles. I "beat" the truck a lot and have fun with it going "4-wheeling." I have gone through six sets of tires during my three years of ownership duing burn-outs, etc. I have heard about a lot of people having transmission problems with their Dodge pick-up's, but I have not once had any with my transmission. I don't think I would sell my truck for any amount of money. I have owned Fords and Chevrolets in the past and had many problems with the motors and transmissions and all the other small things that add up. My Dodge truck has as much power and zip as it did the day I became its owner. The interior is still beautiful and the seats are very roomy and comfortable. It is hunter green with white racing stripes and the windshield has a decal on it that reads "Chicks love it." (Because they do)
