1996 Dodge Ram Laramie SLT review from North America
"An all around truck great for comfort on the long haul"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well Obviously with all Chrysler trucks and cars the Transmission tends to go out around 90,000 Miles (So when buying a Dodge always get the extended warranty!) I brought my truck in and they gave me a new factory built transmission. I've ran this car on Slick 50 4x4 oil for the 119,000 miles that I've had it... and man there hasn't been a problem yet.
General comments?
Only problem is that I pay $55 dollars to fill my 40 gallon gas tank... within 1 week I'm back to filling it back up again...
Great truck, a lot of power, I recommend it over Ford, Chevy, or Toyota.
