92 Dodge B 250 Conversion van
andrews, 09/25/2007
1992 Dodge Ram Wagon B250 3dr Ext Van
This has been an excellent vehicle for family vacation and fun to drive. It handles very well in the changing weather in Nebraska, and mechanically, it has been a sound car. Never had a mechanical problem, just general maintenance has kept it rolling.

Best Passenger Van Out There

1995 Dodge Ram Wagon 1500 3dr Van
My wife and I purchesed a full sized
Dodge Van in 1995. I cant tell you how
happy we are with that purchess. We
have driven over 115000 mi without so
much as a hiccup. We cahnge the oil
regurally and get most of the required
serviceings There is not so much as a
flake of rust and the engine and drive
train still look brand new. I firmly
believe this vechical will be … running
long after I go to meet my maker.
Thanks Dodge.

Big Blue Van never dies!
duckboy, 04/15/2002
1996 Dodge Ram Wagon 3500 Maxi 3dr Ext Van
I admit it. I own a big blue van. The
big, 15-pass airport shuttle bus van.
I bought it because I race motorcycles
all over the country and I don't like
towing a trailer. I can fit two bikes,
all of my gear, my significant other,
and still have room to crawl in the
back seat and take a nap. Very noisy,
interior trim is very cheesy, and I've
broken a lot of plastic … pieces.
However, the drivetrain seems bullet
proof. I almost ran it out of oil once
and I just refilled it with no
consequences. Has a lot of highway
power, but oviously slow off the line,
seeing how it's nearly 6,000 lb. dry.

95 SLT 2500 conversion van
Steve V., 05/24/2004
1995 Dodge Ram Wagon 2500 SLT 3dr Ext Van
This is the best vehicle that I have
owned as far as repairs. The only thing
that has ever gone wrong with this van
are the general maint. things. Teh van
has been all over the east coast with
no problems. I ordered it with the 318
in case I ever wanted to tow anything
with it. The van with the V-8 still
gets 20 mpg over the road. I would
highly recommend these vans as … they
comfortable nad fun to drive, and are a
good vehicle for the money..
