Great Van

2003 Dodge Ram Cargo 1500 3dr Ext Van (3.9L 6cyl 3A)

Review

Bought used with 34k,the conversion package by Elk automotive is top rate. Has leather, cd, dvd, rear air, tv, rear stereo, all the goodies. Very easy to drive despite its size, ride is nice and quiet inside. With the 318 engines and regular service these things are allmost bullet-proof. As most manufacturers produce very few of the large van conversions any more and the new ones costing 50k that are available, I feel that for 20k I stole this thing. One of the best things is it's still under warranty with Chryslers 7/70 plan. These are the only way to travel, if you are buying for everyday use, it's probably not the right vehicle.

Favorite Features

Power folding rear sofa, 13 inch tv that is game ready.(a must for the kids.) Generally I feel these vans are the best looking of the big three.

Suggested Improvements

Maybe a little more foot room up front. But,hey ,if you're not driving why not lay on the sofa and watch tv?

Review

This is a left over new van. Great deal especially with the 0 % interest. Van is very comfortable for travel. The built in antennae for the tv is awsome for watching local chanels. Van is very quiet and rides smooth. Regency does a great job on their conversion packages. Awsome family vehicle

Favorite Features

Conversion pkg.(tv dvd head phones etc..) driving comfort and overall quietness of the van due to the extensive insulation pkg from Regency

Suggested Improvements

more power the 5.2 litre has a little trouble with the 5900lb. weight load. Fuel economy is not the best at 15 mpg on the highway.

Review

I bought the van new with a conversion package, Raised roof, TV, VCR etc.. 2003 leftover good deals still available with zero financing. I have a 5.2 Ltr V-8, plenty of power, nice tight smooth ride. A little short on leg room but overall very comfortable. Lots of windows, everyone gets a window seat. It looks great, I've been getting loads of compliments.You won't be sorry.

Favorite Features

V-8 with towing package. The kids love the captain chairs and the television.

Suggested Improvements

Too late for improvements they no longer make the van. This I think is a huge mistake. Dodge now makes a Sprinter looks more comercial than consumer.
