1997 Dodge Ram 1500 review from North America
"Well worth what I paid for it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the battery 3-4 times.
Stereo not worth what was paid for it.
Spark knocks with bad gas.
Paint began to peel on roof after owning it for 7 years, caught it early and repaired it before it worsened.
General comments?
Overall the truck has been a very good buy.
Strikingly beautiful vehicle, commands attention.
Powerful truck, performs well.
I, by all means, have gotten my money's worth out of it.
