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.

Pros — Build quality, Handling, Interior space
Cons — Brakes, Spark plug problems, Weak exaust manifold

Had this truck since new, 10 years! I loved it. Durable V8 engine, the last of the 318's (5.2L). Rock solid transmission. The interior was OK, but it had a lot of options, some even my 2007 Honda Accord EX-L V6 doesn't have.

Smaller compact size outside, but it felt and pulled like a full-size. These trucks were over built, they shared many parts from the full-size Ram.

Overall, I don't think you can go wrong with this truck.

Pros — Great looks, powerful, go anywhere, no problems.
Cons — Gas mileage...But what do you expect with a V8, 4X4 and 4500lbs?

I bought my 98 Dakota Slt brand new in 1998. No major problems with the truck. The only bulbs I replaced are the driving lights. 125K now and not burning oil. This truck does not like performance parts. Keep it OEM and it will last
