Used Dodge Ramcharger

By jersey devil (Wilmington, North Carolina) on Wednesday, December 03, 2008

"I've had two of these...88 & 89. Both with the 318. The later with FI carb. Most reliable engine out there. Easiest vehicle of it's era to fix. Lots of room in the engine compartment, though I rarely have to spend any time in there. Just a water pump on the 89, which I currently own. This one still looks new inside and out. On the highway? Rock solid ride. The beach? Goes through anything, but I reccomend softening the tires. Fuel consumption is always a problem. 11 in the city and not much better on the highway unless you travel around 60. Not made for speed. No overdrive on the transmission. But that will make repairs to less costly. In fact. the parts for this are so cheap, it makes up for the mileage. I've owned a lot of trucks, and this one is by far the most reliable. Dubbed "The Family Rig". A real truck. Have the chance to own one? Do it. Soon. There're hard to find anymore. Currently considering trading it for something more long trip/higway friendly and it seems the dealers can't wait to get their hands on it. Was offered something worth twice the book value as an even trade."

"This tank is a great car...tons of fun and looks good on the road...drives like a big truck but i think it adds to the experience...this truck is a work horse....has no limit to it and gets compliments...if u have the chance or thinking about buying u have to get it...my grandpa bought all of them since the first started and bought this one in 93 and then gave it to me in 07 and its been my first and only car and it has not disappointed me to date (knock on wood) truck is the best thing i have owned and would not trade or sell it for anything...a great feature is the room it has...for road trips even the people in the back have tons of room...gas mileage isnt the greatest i get 10 mpg city and 15 mpg highway but it doesnt bother me due to the large tank and i dont mind due to the performance and fun...the great part bout this truck is it looks great and yet can still be used to do some heavy work like towing and anything u can throw at it....also the 4-wheel drive is great on off roading and if u deal with snow handles like non other i actually have my friends call and ask if ill take them to work or where ever when it snows.....if ur thinking about buying it u need to make sure everything is good and working and if it is u will not be dissapointed...GREAT JOB DODGE"
