I like most everything about this truck. It performs well and cranks every time. It's not the front end of a Dodge's faults that people don't know how to handle it. It's roomy for its size and decent on gas. You don't have to know rocket science to work on it. It's still going strong and takes me wherever I need to go. The only dislikes I have are problems that all old Dodges have such as paint, turn radius, etc. I would recommend anyone to get one.

4x4 was a champ in the snow. Great quality parts hardly ever broke down. Little sucky on gas mileage but it was a pickup truck. Great as a work truck too.

While I was initially happy to find a truck with basic features to fit my budget, over time I've found repair costs have far outweighed any savings. Cheap materials and construction have led to a number of needed repairs to parts that should last. Manifold bolt corrosion led to multiple exhaust leaks. I've also dealt with multiple oil leaks, transmission fluid leaks and coolant leaks, all well before 80,000 miles. After many trips to parts stores and repair shops, I've found numerous others with the same model of vehicle all suffering from the same series of mechanical failures I've experienced.
