1998 Dodge Ram SLT review from North America
"The truck is more than I expected in almost every aspect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to put new brake calipers on the front, the old ones were rattling, but this is normal wear, blew one fuse for inside lights, 2 new tires. Nothing else so far.
General comments?
Truck is very dependable, it is the most comfortable to drive, seats are very durable, engine has more than enough power. I drove it on a 2500 mile trip and it ran flawlessly, no problems and got 18 to 20 mpg. The cab is very spacious. I am very happy with buying a Dodge Truck.
