1990 Dodge Power Ram W 150 review from North America
"A well built work-rated truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The steering shaft has been replaced twice.
The steering box has been replaced once.
Typical Dodge fender rust.
General comments?
This truck runs very well for the mileage and the abuse it takes.
Gas mileage is OK, I normally get 13-14 miles a gallon.
Performance is good, it was built to work and it does just that. It tows with very little power loss and when off-road very seldom gets stuck.
The stock suspension is stiff and it rides like a truck, but that's what it is.
All in all, the best Dodge, and vehicle I have owned.
