1995 Dodge Ram Wagon 1500 review from North America
"The big jolly fat guy that refuses to die!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong with this van in 60,000 miles except the front brakes had to be replaced. The AC also needs to be recharged.
The only complaint I have is it takes 25 dollars just to get a quarter tank with gas under 3 dollars a gallon.
General comments?
Even for a big guy with a 5200 lb curb weight the 5.2 V8 will put you back in the seat at quarter throttle. The trusty ol' 318 never feels overworked or underpowered which is impressive for a vehicle with this many miles, and that has put up with plenty of abuse. I trust this van 100 percent, and I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off.
