1991 Dodge D250 LE review from North America
"Noisy old truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lower Control Arms replaced @ 200,000 miles.
General comments?
This thing rides like a truck... oh, that's right, it is a truck. This is a man's truck, no sissy stuff here.
It's real loud, and it rides terrible.
The clutch sucks, it's either in or out, nothing in between.
The bench seat is like sitting on a... bench.
Now for the bad stuff - gets over 23 mpg (remember, this is a full-size 2wd pick-up truck), will pull any trailer made (I pulled my 24 ft Haulmark with a 4400 lb Buick and a whole house of funiture 1300 miles (weight of truck & trailer approx 17000 lbs), and averaged just under 15mpg).
You have to shut motor off when at the bank drive-up window so the teller can hear you.
There is a 92 around town here with over 600,000 mile on it!
