General Comments:

Bought this truck brand new, top of the line with all options except leather. Looked after this vehicle, never towed anything or carried more than 1000 lbs.

Spent close to $7000 on repairs so far when all it should have been was routine maintenance for a new vehicle.

When running it is a pleasure to drive, but JEEZ!

Faults:

All air conditioner components (made by a Japanese company, Nipodensa in Battle Creek Mich, who also makes Camry air conditioner trouble free components, go figure).

One fuel pump and two cruise control units (all covered by my Direct after market warranty).

Nearly all of the miles on this vehicle have been towing a 26' trailer on interstate highways.

General Comments:

Nearly all of the miles on this vehicle have been towing a 26' trailer on interstates.

Just today picked up a new 2001 Sport, and kept the 1996.

Am going to retire a 1985 Ram with 235,00 miles.

My first Dodge was a 1972 with a 360 and 3 speed colum shifter. It is still running around town with a 16 year old school kid trying his hardest to kill it. My son and my brothers son both tried but they couldn't do it.(it has over 600,000 miles on it!!

Faults:

One of the front axle bearings seized up at 80,000 miles.

The starter is going (right now) at 103,000 miles.

No real problems or excessive wear with the truck, still looks great.

General Comments:

This truck offers a nice quite ride for a pick-up. I do a lot of driving and it has power to spare (with the 5.9 V8) and good handling.

I have a black colored Sport SLT package with extended cab and it is more of a head turner than I expected.

Totally satisfied.

Faults:

The EPA canister went out once, but it still ran perfect anyway, it just made the 'check engine' light come on.

General Comments:

This truck has the best engine of any pickup I've ever drove! Runs like a clock.

Dependability is WAY better than the (3) Fords I've had since 1992! Only been in the shop for a check engine light and normal service.

This truck, even with the limited edition 'Indy 500' package, was a heck of a bargain (right at $20K) I haven't seen anything before or since that even compares to what I got with this truck in the same price category.

Faults:

Tranmission went bad at 30,000 miles.

Cost 1500.00 to rebuild. No warranty coverage.

Transmission acted up again at 75000 miles. Dealer can't figure it out.

Paint on entire truck orange peeled.

Carpet in the rear of the cab disintegrated.

Front stabilizer went bad.

Air conditioner turns off/on by it self.

Oil pressure sensor went bad.

General Comments:

This is a beautiful truck, however the transmissions are garbage.

The cabs are very comfortable, but the carpet is garbage.
