2002 Dodge RAM 1500 Road Test
Introduced in 1993 as a 1994 model, the bold highway truck inspired Ram pick-up took the light truck market by storm. Dodge faithful finally had a truck as good looking as it was tough while those who had never thought to purchase a Dodge product before flocked into showrooms. It was a giant success, selling over 200,000 units in its first year compared to 70,000 the year previous - peaking at 350,000 with the addition of the Club Cab. Eight years after its inception the all-new Ram 1500 is here. But is it as good as the truck it replaces?
