1998 Dodge RAM 1500 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

performance- gets up and goes good, handles nicely, nice amount of power build quality- rear bumper is strong, front bumper pretty weak, body is pretty solid, tranny is notorious for not lasting long, most common rust areas are rear fender wells appearance- nice body shape, easy to make a bad ass truck cost- nothing too major or out of the ordinary except tranny, eats gas pretty quickly fun factor- love it!

The gas mileage aint great but respectable at 16 mpg. Ive never had any problems pulling my 2800 lb camper. The only weak point I have found in the truck is the front wheel bearings and axle u-joints. Other than that, I always get somments about the Intense blue paint.

Straight piped off the exhaust manifold. -no cats v8 318ci Rhino lining in the box. Painted interior dash white. Wicked loud 8) Black paint Parnelli Jones Dirt King 285 75 r16 inch Mud tires I love this truck very MUCH

slow acceleration, fun in the mud and snow, clean truck, little rust, gas mileage sucks horribly, and fun to drive. have pulled with it, and won and lost. it sits on 33 inch tires that do ok in the mud.

I love my truck. Ive put a good hundred hours of work into it, inside and out. Gas mileage is ok, if i drive normal but i speed. Even though its only 2wd, ive taken it offroad and gotten stuck in 3 foot deep hole. The door scraped the ground as i got out (couldnt see the hole by the way). Had a friend who came and literally jerked me out of the hole. Not a scratch on my truck.

Unfortunately i didnt have a great income at the time i bought so i bought a decent v6. I love my truck, it has vinyl floors, no electric windows or locks, so basically nothing major than can break on it... its dualed out and has a bed liner, toolbox, and running boards, and semi-oversized tires..

Was a solid running truck, motor wise, suffered from two common dodge problems, rust on the bottom of the doors, and the infamous transmission issues. Cost of ownership on the truck was very high, as it only had the 318, and averaged around 11mpg -16mpg (on a good day). other than that a good truck, towed our 24' rinker boat with a tiny bit of problem, but not bad

Took A Beating And Kept Goin, Nothin Special Added A Custom Made Light Bar N Lights For Lighting Up The Night.

Well I had a front hub bearing go out after 253,000 miles so I am a do it yourself person problem is that the spindle nut is so tight I could not remove it I broke 3+ Craftsman ratchets trying I finally had to pay a shop just to loosen that one nut for me. I like the truck but the auto hubs are not worth the money put into them my 4wd quit working over a year ago.

My dodge RAM 1500 gets you from point A to B, and thats about it. It can also haul anything I could ever want. However, it is starting to develop transmission problems. Other than that though, it is a very fun car to drive

i like the interior and how it looks but i do not like the gas mileage i have not had to do anything to this truck the only thing i have done is i put dual exhaust on it. it runs great

v8 magnum rear wheel drive. needs a new paint job. needs a cd player. cold air intake and a rumble bee kit with supercharger would be sweet. runs great gets about 17 miles to the gallon. really good vehicle. i

It's an all around good truck. All seasons, all the time. Only 15 MPG tho haha...Fun as hell to drive though. I would recommend it to anyone who likes to drive a truck and wants to get a little puch behind em.

amazing truck for everything. lots of power

Very reliable truck considering the work it did. Lasted the hard work on a spread out farm pretty good. Was going on 250,000 miles before wreck. The wreck was not the pickup's fault. Interior didn't have problem with taking a beating. This truck was awesome. I hope to get one soon.

Its kinda like driving a school bus. Ive never driven a school bus but if I had to imagine what driving a school bus would be like, this is it. Pretty fun to drive, but with the 5.9 liter V8, it drinks gas. Ive driven through a foot of snow and have not got stuck. Have had to get a few repairs on the drive train, transmission, transfer case, and rear u-join. Going to have to replace the front ball joints and drive shaft soon. Overall a good buy for $2,500 and a 97 buick lesabre with 200k on it.

i love the overall truck. i should have bought a truck along time ago. the only thing that sucks is the gas mileage but thats what i get for buying a 360 v8 prolly get around 10 miles to the gallon

i love my truck because it is big, powerful, and can go through anything. I have raced it against a 92 mustang and WON!! That should prove just how fast my truck really is. I just really love my truck.

the steering is ok not the best truck i ever drove. it tends to move back and forth in the lane and doesnt hold speed very well up small inclines

definitely improved all around over my old chev if it was taken care of this couldve still been in good shape mechanically after a few hours of work its good to go but its still pretty fast always starts right up even if its 50 below out

Build Quality: Very strong Car Comparisons: Jeep wrangler. More power, bigger axles Performance: Bad acceleration, stopping, top speed. Thats what 37" tires do though. More About My Car: Its big

This is my 98 sport 4x4. Its loaded with leather, and has the 5.2 with manual transmission. Very reliable truck, just a little slow and hard on fuel. But you have to pay to play, right?
