Used 1996 Dodge RAM 1500 for Sale near Palatine, IL

350,000k and the old 318 still runs as good as ever and the tranny is as strong as ever. Aside from a few U-joints here and ther and the steering box that wears out every 150k it's a good truck

ok, this isnt mine exactly, its my dads but i drive it a lot so theres my creditability. it has a nice acceleration, top speep, and braking, but the steering has a lot of play and it isnt the easiest truck to control. its been very unreliable for my dad and i as we've both had numerous problems such as, the ignition locking up, and being unable to go into 4WD sometimes.

I love my truck! Brakes are perfect for this truck. Because it is a truck it does take a lot of gas. This is my first and only truck and I wouldn't trade it for the world! It's black and kinda rusty but I LOVE MY TRUCK!

I hadn't actually owned this truck, it was my father's rig, but my God it was a beauty. He bought it from a guy at MVI in Charlottetown with only 100k on it, body in perfect condition. Since then, we had put 20k and a few new scratches on it in 6 years using is as a wood truck. The Dodge only had a 3.9L V6 in it paired with an auto transmission, so she didn't take off too well. Once you got going though, you could cruise at buck 30 easily. The brakes were always good, and never failed me once. After a while the front end got a bit loose so steering was a bit sloppy, but the rest of the body was good and solid, a heavy sort of ruggedness that we payed for in gas mileage I'm sure. I had a lot of fun with this truck until the summer of 2008 when my older sister wrote it off on the Souris River road.

Great except for the fuel costs!!!
