1986 Dodge D50 review from North America
"This truck is very dependable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The tire rod broke soon after I got it only because I hit a pot hole on a clay road driving pretty fast.
Rear seal in the transfer case went bad at about 159000.
Dash cracking do to the heat in Florida.
Poor speaker mounts.
General comments?
Very powerful for a 4 cylinder.
Handles awesome for off-road experiences (gotten me out of a lot of mud holes)
Expect to run it another 100,000 miles.
I love everything about this truck and would never trade it for anything in the world (except for a ford)
