Proscorners like a sports car Consgas guzzler, balljoints u dodge guys know what i mean

Good And Bad — great in the snow, especially with goodyear wrangler silent armors as shows. gas mileage sucks but hey its a truck. 175hp down from 180 with 4x4 r u kidding me, stupid emissions laws. but it still does a nice brake stand two lines every time. Primary Use: Commuting to work

ProsIts speed ConsMuffler needs replacing
25
Thumbs Up — It's needed some tlc with a need for new tires, a tie rod and wheel alignment in the near future. It needs a new paint job it's not to costly a full tank of guess bone dry costs 55 bucks. It needs a new muffler right now. Its very fun to drive its acceleration is wonderful Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Pros4 wheel drive Consgas mileage

Great For Snow And Such Can See All Around You But Its Not Super Big Either — accelerates fine i guess same with brakes good turn radius. had to replace engine at 86,000 miles due to poor upkeep. exterior would be good if it wasn't dented and scratched. interior basic cloth stock. back seat with ext. cab. 16mpg parts not horribly expensive. very fun to drive Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Modified — Beautiful truck! Very fun to modify. Decent performance. Not alot of jam. Appearance was excellent inside and out. Terrible on gas but what dodge isnt? Not the greatest in the winter but it was only 2 wheel drive. Good summer driver. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Prosits a beauty... and its baddass having a truck Consfriends call it tonka... not ok
35
What? — Well, it definitely does not have the greatest acceleration, nor does it have great gas mileage, but the thing drives marvelously and purrs like a kitty. And its a stick shift which makes me a baddass- you really do need calf muscles for this one. And really, need i say more about the sexy thang? | ||

I Loved It — truck was very fast. it had a 5.2 v8. i had it straight piped so it sounded great. it was 4x4 so it was awsome going offroad even though it had stock suspension. it wasnt to fuel friendly. it burned through a crap ton of fuel. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

A Decent Truck — This truck has ok acceleration, has some good qualities when it comes to build and strength, it handles surprisingly well for a pickup, and for those of you that think ...man a full sized Dodge Ram is too much, but for instance a Chevy S-10 is too small this is the perfect size. |
