The 1999 Dodge Ram truck has a powerful engine in three sizes, the truck in 4x4 model is loaded with torque. I chose the 1500 sport 4x4 and have been happy with it. This truck is full of feature and has a comfortable ride for a 4x4, the available engine choices give you what you need. It has a cloth interior and fold down center armrest for the bucket seat option. The 4x4 model sits high for ground clearance and has the most available torque for towing. The truck comes with a rear anti lock ABS system that improve stopping distance and power steering for easy parking in tight situations. The truck came with an automatic trans as standard with the choice of manual as an option. Am/fm cassette player with CD and a power amp speaker system. The truck comes with overdrive to conserve fuel sine the large v-8 engine consumes it's fair amount of it. I purchased the tow option and this truck has pulled every trailer we tried with ease. The tow package comes with lighting and installed receiver hitch.

I love my truck for many reasons. For one thing, I use it almost weekly to haul manure, for my extensive garden beds, and because it has a liner, washing it out is so much easier. I also love the electric seat position buttons on the side of the seat. I have back issues, and these position change buttons help accommodate me in this area. Call me old fashioned, but I am so grateful for electric A/C and door buttons. I can haul my Irish Wolfhound in the cab for rides to the park, by putting the back seat up. The front bench seat has a storage box that pushes up and makes room for another front seat passenger, or separates the front seat into two rider spaces. I use this down when hauling my dog, so he can see me. The truck bed has a tool box attached which I use to store tie downs, and cables for a jump start, as well as a first aid kit, and blankets. There are two bars that point up, like horns above the cab, which must be roll bars for an accident or maybe for hauling wood, or something, I like them because whenever I am in a parking lot, I have difficulty finding my truck, so the horns help me find my truck more easily. I have been having trouble with one of the rods on the steering wheel column-the one on the right side. The very end has come off, and so we have wrapped electrical tape on it. This may be something designed to wear out by a certain age. Also, the A/C is making sounds, and again, I do wonder if it was designed to fail by a certain amount of usage. My truck is a work horse, despite these small flaws, and I am so grateful to have it.

This truck's style is pretty nice. I like the fact there isn't really a whole lot of blind spots on this truck. It sits up relatively high on the road as compared to other vehicles and allows for a nice view around the vehicle. The quality of the truck is pretty good. It can haul quite a bit in the bed and is plenty spacious in the cabin. It has good get up and go and can really roar when you want it to. It really is a lot of fun to drive, especially with the four wheel drive in the winter time. With that being optionally turned on or off in the cab, it made it easy to enjoy the winter weather without sacrificing the ability to get where you needed to go safely.
