Test Drove the 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab

[HDH]

The Gasser Truck Itself is Very impressive, In the Overall Design of it. The Radiator is Offset to Pass Side While the A/C Condenser is offset to the Drivers side with a Electric Fan for Air Handling.

Rack and Pinion Steering was Very Responsive.

But the Best Part of was the Room!. I adjusted the Front Drivers Seat to my liking, Then Hopped in the Back seat, Room Galore!.
One thing i did Notice was the amount of storage bins, Cubby hole, And the Use of Dead space, Very Nice.

For a "Hotrod Truck", Its Very Comfy.

About the Dash, I sensed a retro Approach back to the 97 and earlier Trucks.

The Radio was Ok, And labled as "infinity Sound system"

List price for this 2wd Quad Cab SLT was 27k plus change

I hope they use the same inginuity on the 3/4 and 1 ton platforms with the Cummins.

We received a shipment of 02 Dakotas last week. I see some very interesting changes under the hood; maybe not earth shaking, but well thought out. The windshield washer reservoir is molded to fit over the top of the radiator tank to warm the fluid, and the overall engine compartment hose and wiring routing was layed out very well . The interior was much nicer around the center console.

5 Screw dealer rip-off

Local dealer has a sport, loaded, but no leather. MSRP ~$27K



Additional dealer mark-up of $3995 on top of that. Plus, the truck is locked... . I didn't even ask if they'd open it.

The Dealer In Taft Ca Said he had 14 more order in all colors, With No Dealer Mark up.
