I ordered this trk in Nvo of 97 & waited impatiently! The dealer had it cleaned and waxed siiting in the middle of the shop, waiting for it's Master! and the expirience goes on from there. Excellent TRUCK, and that is what I expected ..a TRUCK. Pulls like an ox, I pulled so many people out of the snow! People would ask just what kind of truck is that, or what model is that? It is my pride and joy Has won 1st place every year in the Mid Atlantic Jamboree 4 years in a row! Lots of mods done & alot of aftermarket available. What more can I say. A great Fun TRUCK!
OK, but...

Ever since the re-design of the '94 models, I lusted after one. Leased a loaded quad-cab. Then, reality hits. Had to replace rotors around 10,000 miles($500). Front bumper paint(Black Sport Model) started to bubble, flake. Now, the front bumper has rust spots all over. Dealer said "we've seen this happen before, but warranty doesn't cover". Had to replace speakers TWICE! Then, all was good until 55,000 miles (5.9 L - engine).Passing gear and poor fuel caused a sucked intake gasket, and COMPLETELY threw off the timing. Once again, no warranty coverage. But overall, the truck did it's job and it's had it's own hightlights as well.

Dodge Trucks are Ram Tough? My data says different. Not only did the thing break down on me at 63K miles, but the so-called "power train" warranty really didn't cover the power train. That is unless you don't consider the heads and head gasket as part of the engine. Also had a pass through window that leaked, brakes and bed that squeaked,and had the fuel pump go out at 30K miles.

I've had to replace numerous parts some of which include the steering column, power steering pump, right front wheel bearing and front brakes. All of this work was done before I even had 40,000 miles. Now I have a problem in the rear differential which I was quoted $1100 to fix. Fortunately my lease is up next month. This truck has cured me of ever purchasing a Chrysler product again. I purchased 15,000 miles a year and now with all the problems, I was unable to use all the miles. If your considering a Chrysler product it would be advisable to look at a different make.
