1996 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT review from North America
"I'd buy another one in a heartbeat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far <Knock wood>.
Just routine maintenance.
General comments?
This truck has been very solid. No real complaints other than the cruise control buttons should be illuminated.
I use it for towing my travel trailer, and we went over 8,000km this past summer in complete comfort with no issues.
