I bought this truck in the spring of 2005, when I finally accepted the fact that I cannot continue to afford to restore old-school Mopars. In addition to that, I purchased it because it was cheap with a plugged cat, and I missed my black '97 Ram Sport Club Cab 4x4 that I was forced to trade in on my '03 Cavalier LS Sport (because the gas mileage and payments were too high on the Ram). Now I still have a Ram to play with and drive in the winter while still enjoying the 30+ mpg of the Cavalier and the sportiness of it (believe me, it handles well compared to a full size truck LOL).
