What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Dodge Ram Wagon 1500

"Van is a beast"

"This ban is awesome and unstoppable. Have owned for years and it's been in shop twice. Once for fuel pump, once for rear blower motor on AC. Engine and transmission are bullet proof. If you need a long time running, no hassle van, buy one if you can find one now!"

"I love my van!"

"I have owned my Dodge Ram 2500 12-passenger (we added the 3rd seat) van for about 8 years now. I absolutely LOVE my van. Plenty of space. Runs really well. Tows our pop-up (and a few rental trailers) beautifully. The body just started to rust this past year (it is 12 years old), with a few patches here and there. The interior has held up really well, even with dozens of kids, adults, bikes, fishing poles, kayaks, furniture, and even a kitchen sink being hauled in it! You can fit just about anything in this van: when we vacation we put 4 kids, 2 adults, a dog, 4 bikes, suitcases, coolers, beach stuff, and a TV with DVD IN the van and still have room to move! The only drawback is the gas mileage...under 12 mpg. It now has 160,000 miles on it and has had a new radiator, new shocks/struts, new tires, and a thermostat in the past 8 years. Which is hardly any repairs for 8 years!"

"awesome vehicle"
