2003 Dodge Ram SLT quad cab long bed and opt. review from North America
"The gas mileage is far from economy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Whats wrong with the truck? Well, I am now at the Point after only a few months of having to trade it in on a smaller truck. The reason this is so is because the truck is frankly a service station dream. with the average cost to fill it up ranging from 60 to 80 dollars. With a 35 gallon tank and having to fill up every 450 miles. Other than that I have had no problems what so ever.
General comments?
I love this truck how ever It has come to the point in which I must trade it in.
The reason is because keeping it gassed up in this economy is a huge task.
My Truck is the SLT 4door long bed V8.
It is very comfortable and reliable. It could Sit 6 people comfortable.
In few months I have owned this truck I have gone on 2 round trips from TN to NY and one round trip from TN to NY with no problems what so ever.
The Problem. If you aren't a wealthy businessman then you might want to reconsider buying this truck. the cost for keeping the tank even somewhat filled is more a costly expense that I can afford.
If extreme cost for gas isn't a problem in your house hold I would strongly suggest this truck for its comfort, reliably, cargo capacity, and Room for the whole family.
