Have had small electrical problems from the start, eventually resulted in transmission overhal and replacing computer. This with just 66,000 miles. I had planned on keeping this vehicle forever, now I am dumping it. Worthless piece. I am so disappointed... will never buy from Dodge again.

Dodge cut some corners to save pennies and made a truck of lower quality. Cup holders are 100% guaranteed to break at the hinges. Paint is very thin at places. My work truck (read no carpet) floor mat pulled from doorsills in first few months. Dodge could have left 2 inches more material and eliminated this problem. No front end grease fittings from factory. My local Dodge dealer added them for me. I had the top of the dash crack on a cold morning. I live very close to Florida! Again a cold morning 40F! At that point not covered under warranty. I bought a cover A good truck that could have been better.

I lost my S10 in the hurricane. I have been a Chevy guy but I really like this truck. Powerful roomy and great styling. You ride up high get the step bar to make it female friendly. Dodge did an awesome job putting this truck on the market.
I'll never buy another one!

This truck is a nightmare. I've had several full brake jobs, calipers, and master cylinder. Heating coil went out with 80000 miles. Now, after 6 times to ALLEN SAMUELS DODGE in Fort Worth Texas, I'm told that I need a new engine. Their suppossed 5-star service is truely pathetic. After several heated exchanges with service advisor, manager, I talked to the general manager, and was told that this is normal for the RAM1500 with 134000 miles. He actually tried to sell me another Dodge, I wouldn't buy another Dodge if you held a gun to my head!
Don't buy if you plan to tow!!

I purchased this unit new, on price only. It was left over from 1998 into 99 sales year and discounted deeply. Now I know why. 12 - 15 mpg empty and 6 mpg towing a single car carrier (trailer gvw is 7000). It is a nice looking truck, but I could have purchased a diesel Ford and saved the difference just in fuel. Fuel guage failed recently, $800, thank you Dodge.
