2003 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT review from North America
"Great truck, awesome power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In over 2 years of ownership I have not had any repairs on this truck. It runs beautifully.
General comments?
You can't beat the Cummins engine.
This has been a great vehicle. The hydroformed frame is very stiff and we have no shakes or rattles. We live in Denver and routinely tow a boat over the mountains. The Cummins doesn't even know it's back there and I rarely downshift from 6th to 5th gear. While I miss the utility of our Suburban, this is a far better vehicle with tons of power. I also get 18 mpg, 15 when towing. We love it!
