New Car Test Drive Review

Summary:

Improvements make this bold truck better.
By Jim McCraw, NewCarTestDrive.com

This four-door Ram is so terrifically easy to use for a group of four or five people that we no longer think of trucks solely as work vehicles. Four-door pickups make so much sense for so many families that they'll be as common as minivans in a few years. Dodge was the first to offer four doors, but its success has forced Ford, Chevy and GMC to follow.

Dodge offers an excellent package. Improvements to the instrumentation, new powertrain and body combinations have made it better. For cruising around town or going to the beach, the Ram offers loads of room, loads of power and loads of style.

Overview:

Dodge Ram backs up its bold looks with powerful engines. It boasts excellent street manners with a smooth ride, quick steering and excellent brakes.

And it comes with a host of significant changes for the new model year: more powerful engines; new front suspensions and steering systems for improved ride, directional stability and steering precision; new brake systems. Two new options have been added to the lineup for 2000, a special off-road package and a luxurious leather SLT Plus package.
