This truck was awesome, never had any problems with it.  It was modified in many different ways, suspension, exhaust, drive train, paint work, interior, the list goes on...  I sure had a lot of fun working on this toy with my friends in Chilliwack, we had many hours and beers invested into this truck.

Pros — great truck, great memories
Cons — our family outgrew this 1500 4x4, moved up to the 2500HD MEGACAB 4x4

i love everything bout this truck.it has a 5.9 liter 360 engine that has more balls than anything else out there. it sits up high and just remember, fat chicks can't jump!!!!!!! overall i give this truck a 9.0 rating. the paint does start to chip and the wheel well catches water so you start to get rust. but that is easily fixed with a drill to drill holes into the wheel well to let the water out and a new coat of paint only costs a couple hundred. so it is pretty sweet

Pros — everything
Cons — rust round wheel well

Its a 1996 Indy Pace Truck with low miles. it performs great with awesome acceleration. sucks up gas like none other tho with its big 360 5.9L V8. gets lots of looks driving around town and people cant believe when i tell them its 12 yrs old. they think its at the most 5 yrs old.(haha) well not to much to say other than i love it so much. i would so recommend this car to anyone, only problem is that is a rare truck an may be hard to come by.

Pros — Everything
Cons — Gas mileage and RWD...suck in winter an rain :(

INDY 500 Edition. Really fast, will spank any "muscle" truck. Very loud and sounds mean. If you really wanna spend a litle money, the dodge ram of 96 is the one to own because its awesome.

Pros — Quick, Loud, Special Editon
Cons — age

Pretty truck .. I had to of the line loaded. Haul the devil out of roots. Typical for a 318. Pig on gas after 3500km. Dealer & even area Chrysler rep had no answers. If someone offers to give you one that means they hate you!

Pros — Looks, power
Cons — Tranny, brakes ( four sets on front in 80,000kms.), front end, power window & lock trouble. Rear wheel cylinders. Catyletic converter. Daytime running light sensor. Piping all cracked on the seats. Worthless when traded .. lowest offer at Chrysler dealer. Would love a new Challenger, but never another Mopar for me!!

the interior is huge and can fit 6 adults in it. the excelerations is good for a truck. same for the handling, it is a truck so don't expect a sports car but it is alot of fun off road. i love the look of these dodges and mine will soon be going under the torch with a baja truck look make overwhich will include a interior roll cage all the way from the engine compartment to the rear bumper.

Pros — it is big and can haul alot
Cons — it is big and can't park every where.
