My 1996 Dodge RAM diesel pickup was an excellent choice for a full size, 4X4 vehicle. In 9 years (180,000 miles), I replaced a power steering pump (1 time), front brake pads (3 times), an alternator (1 time), a rear seal on the transfer case (1 time), a headlight housing (1 time), and 12 volt batteries twice (it takes two). It is a rugged truck that has required very few repairs over the years. Besides that, I have never paid for an oil change or lube job since I bought the truck in March of 1996. It came with a "Yellow Card" which includes oil changes plus labor (but not the cost of the oil filter).
"RAM TOUGH"

This is the best pickup I have ever had. It still looks good. It has never missed a beat in all these years. It gets about 17 mpg solo and about 9-10 mpg towing my light weight trailer. Don't tow anymore, but it is rated to haul a 13,500 trailer. It has heavy duty trailer towing pkg from the factory and "D" rated tires. Presently equipped with a 5th wheel hitch and has a factory installed class three hitch as well.

1996 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Laramie SLT 2dr Extended Cab 4WD SB (5.9L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)

I bought my 1996 Dodge Laramie 2500 diesel 4x4 extra cab manual in 1999. It had 125,000 km on it. I've used it for everything and have been so happy with it. Now it has 568,000 km. I've pretty much used it up. The rust holes started in the Alberta oil fields before I bought it, and only started to show through about 12 years after I bought it. The engine leaks oil now, and nothing much works on it. I just bought a newer Laramie 3500 quad cab 4x4 diesel dually. Everything works, and it's so big! I love it! I would have bought another 1996 Laramie, but I needed a truck that could carry 3500 pounds of water every day during the dry season.
