1997 Dodge Ram 1500 Club Cab

The best truck I ever owned!

By Blades144 (AK) on Saturday, June 15, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 124,000

Pros: "Looks, power, comfort, prestige."

Cons: "NONE"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"My Dodge has done everything I ever asked of it from towing a 4500 lb trailer to everyday driving. I have it with dual exhaust and I got to say to it sounds better than any other dual exhausts out there. Outfitted with 17" aggressive tread and a tonneau cover it is the the prettiest truck you ever laid eyes on. Off road or on Dodge makes a solid truck at a great value."

Best Ram

By Kevin (OK) on Friday, June 14, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 210,000

Pros: "Power and cab room"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have a 1997 Laramie single cab, I'm a 6'4 guy and I fit with extra leg room. Plenty of towing power, I haul hay every other week and I never feel like there's anything but air behind me. Great truck, dunno if I'll ever replace her. Proud to replace or work on whatever breaks becuase I know it won't be in the engine, all I've ever replaced is the spark plugs and wires."

Tough, reliable truck

By Kaylie (OK) on Friday, June 14, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 168,000

Pros: "Power, large cab, 4x4 is strong, fun to drive"

Cons: "Cup holders are very shallow, dashboard cracks"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I bought this truck about a month ago. It was an old farm truck, noticable dings and dents in the body, worn seats, the works. I didn't think she would be an outstanding truck, but to be honest the only complaint I have is the dashboard cracking. The power from the 5.9L is just awesome; I tuned up the engine and she came completely back to life! Engine runs great, the cab is HUGE, my 6'5 boyfriend fits comfortably. Lots of room, lots of roar, lots of reliability. Love this truck!!!!!"

"me and my uncle work together, and we used this truck (1996 dodge ram 1500) and worked it everyday, harder than most people work they're 1 ton trucks. Pulled heavy equipment with it all the time. he finally got rid of it at 365,000 miles the only things we did to it was that was major was replace the re-end we replaced the starter, alternator, radiator, brakes, tune up parts, and u joins. you will most likely think i'm lying about all of this most people think i am when i talk about that truck but its the truth if you want to believe it or not"
