1995 Dodge Ram SLT Laramie review from North America
"Awesome, but problematic at times"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission.
Oil pressure drop.
Defective hood latch.
Temperature sensor in the transmission.
Water collecting in the door panels.
Paint on bumpers are starting to peel and a sleeve had to be fitted on the steering column to prevent loss of steering control.
General comments?
Despite all these problems, I think this is one of the best built trucks on the market. The problems have been an inconvenience, but, this truck has out-performed any that I have test drove.
It is built to take abuse and lived up to all my expectations. I will recommend buying a Ram Truck just make sure you get a good warranty. You're going to need it!
