I bought a 97' Club Cab 4X4 Sport Plus with the V-8 and a stick shift.
I picked up every option but the anti-lock brakes and the automatic
and I love it. I have had it in for an alignment and nothing else. It
runs great and I am currently getting about 16 MPG city, and 21-23
Highway. I traded in a 91' Nissan truck with over 109,000 miles that
gave me no problems what so ever and I beleive the Dodge will too. I
have pulled my dad's 16 foot bass boat to the lake and I never knew it
was there....
