Well, I finally traded in my old 93 dakota a week ago for this 98 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Laramie. Hate to see the dakota let go, it sure was one reliable truck. But I was ready for something bigger and 4wd, so I took the step. This has power everything, tow package w/ trans cooler, 4 doors, & the 360 V8. The guy that owned it prior to me, was an older guy who always kept it in the garage and never ONCE took it in the mud. As you can tell its still in excellent shape. Shes got 100k miles on her at the moment. Now, Only if fuel prices would come down
