Little Ram with the Big Guns

by eharri3 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
Jan 18 '01 - Updated Feb 11 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great acceleration and handling, no silly jump seats, closest thing to a V8 compact truck.
Cons: Iffy Chrysler build quality, poor wet traction
The Bottom Line: An excellent value... a tight suspension, aggressive wheels and tires, a muscle-car engine, and even some real hauling capacity to boot.

Greetings, epinions readers, it’s my pleasure to be writing my first opinion under the ‘new system.’ Fittingly, in these times of great change, the subject of this latest review is a truck that revolutionized the compact pickup market with its redesign...

Pros: Best looking small or mid size truck. Inside or out.
Cons: gas mileage and tie downs in bed of truck

Quad Cab

by jtreviews
Nov 19 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Extra cargo area, streamlined design (destined to be a classic) and descent budget features
Cons: Low Gas mileage, sluggish 3.9 V6, and needs more creature comfort options
The Bottom Line: Compare this vehicle to all others you were considering, before deciding which one to buy; I think you'll return to your dealership to get another view

The overall truck is a nice package for the dollar. 4 doors is a great addittion whether you have a family or not. I use practically every inch of this vehicle for all my crap. I opted for the Infinity sound system, I probably would have saved about ...
