1998 Dodge Ram Pickup Quad Cab SLT Laramie review from North America
"A very reliable and attractive pickup that is perfect for a work truck, as well as for fun."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced a coolant hose at 120,000. Replaced brake pads twice.
General comments?
This truck has outdone all my expectations of a Dodge, since I was formerly a Ford only person. This truck has not had any engine or transmission problems at all.
It has always been reliable and functioned properly. It gets decent gas mileage, 17mpg in town. I am very impressed with the Dodge 1500 pickup.
