1985 Dodge RAM Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners have a fondness for the 1985 Dodge RAM, appreciating its reliability and strong performance from the slant six engine. Many drivers mentioned how the truck is easy to work on and surprisingly durable, even after many years. However, a few noted that it can be tough on fuel economy and parts availability can be a challenge. Overall, it's loved for its toughness but criticized for being gas-guzzling and harder to maintain as it ages."
Bought this truck used with 78,000 miles now has 148,000 the slant six power plant is the best engine I've ever had in a vehicle. Easy to work on and it takes all the abuse I give it without a wimper.
April 22, 2008The power in this truck is on the weaker side, but that's were the fuel mileage comes into play. It gets on average around 20 mpg. Not to bad for an old pickup. Its not the prettiest but it'll get the job done. Looking to model it after the red dodge in the television show Smallville.
November 29, 2011this was a great starter vehicle! the 318 was strong and teh POSI rear end was very nice! the truck had been kept good care of since it was origanally owned by the city of medicine hat. other then the gas it was a beautiful truck and i really wish i hadnt sold it long ago...*sigh* but i guess if i hadnt i wouldnt have been shown the wonders of imported cars :P the truck was very origanal tho being a base model truck but no big problems with the interior. everything workd the way it shouldve!

February 12, 2008i like the size and the handling of it, but it really is bad on gas, and its hard to find the parts i need to fix it right now, i love that its a mini truck and i can do tons of things with it, i just wish it had a lil more power.
