Those 2nd gen Rams are just beautiful. One of the finest trucks to come out of Detroit in the 90’s...
Remember that the 2nd generation Ram is actually the first year in the Chrysler LH platform along with the Dodge Intrepid Chrysler Concorde and Eagle Vision!
I always loved this body style of dodge truck. I now own a black regular cab long bed 4x4. It's got the 5.9 magnum with 200k miles and still runs like new. I just need to go through and redo the suspension. And replace the front bumper. I got it off of my grandparents
The first vehicle I ever drove was my uncle’s brand new ‘95 Ram 1500 4x4, short box with the 5.9L and Laramie SLT trim, in bright red. Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels with BFG All Terrains. It was a really sharp looking truck.
Friend of my Dad either restored or bought a restored 2nd gen Ram almost a decade ago now. An emerald green, V10 powered, single cab, long bed, chrome wheeled, 5 speed manual driven dream! Every time I see it it looks like it just rolled out the factory.
Probably only drives it just often enough to make sure the gas in the tank hasn't gone bad..
I have a 98 dodge ram 1500 my parents bought for me for my first vehicle when I was 15. Today I still have it and I am 27 years old now and it has 293K miles
Old dodge trucks Back when trucks are solid trucks still see them on the road today
Rarely
flight2k5 😂😂😂😂
Ricky Davis at least you can laugh at yourself
@@flight2k5 an excavation I worked had 2 dozen of them. They all were rusted out and had over 200k on them. But they still got the job done.
sam anything can get the hob done. 🤣
I had a 98 Ram I bought used with the 318 and around 230 000km on the clock.. Unfortunately the motor needed a rebuild.. was used harsh.. I to this day regret selling it cheap, should have had it fixed.. But now I have a 2013 Ram I adore.. I was a kid in 1994 when this truck came out and to this day I am a dodge boy
Back at a time when you either had a Chevy, Ford or Dodge and they were all reasonably priced and built to work as well as enjoyed to drive. Nowadays, they are simply, an overpriced laptop with a box attached to it.
A few years later ford (who had massively more truck sales) changed their style of trucks to match dodge
brotherjesus still see more 2nd gen Ram on the road lol
Dodge built Ford, and built Ford moter company and Henry Ford was a back sabber and dodge said good luck, broke off from Ford lol so there's history for ya.
@@DavidD-yp6dh tell them again, I don't think they heard ya😂 There would be no Ford motor company without the Dodge Brothers.
@@rickydavis5541 Facts.
Motoring TV is the Canadian version of MotorWeek.
I have a 94 1500 4x4
The output speed sensor housing needs replacing . Other than that, it still a beast.
I have a 98 Dodge Ram 1500 200k on it with original engine and transmission still going strong
Ricky Davis me too! Just repainted it back the factory Intense Blue Pearl! Original trans
Me too ,i got 98 quad cab
Fun fact. 98 is the only year with the newer dash with a pullout headlight switch. They went to a knob in 99’. Also power outlet and airbag switch are in a different spot. Therefore 98 has its own black gauge bezel. Think twice before you break it pulling it out!
Mine has only 86k. All original still😄 5.9 engine. I guess mine has a lot of life left hopefully. Never had any problems yet. Except for a few bad paint spots it still looks brand new.
That’s not that many miles
This makes me happy to watch.
My grandfather bought my dad's ram 1500 v6 1994 just that year...and it's like new today except for two or three scatches, no mechanical issue with it and it looks just awesome.
I love my 97 1500 5.9 4x4! It's been the most reliable vehicle I've had, and is a blast to drive. Drove it back and forth across the USA last year and not s single problem. ❤️
I love my 96
I drive one I'll drive it forever .
Me too.best regards from France.
25 mpg on a 318?? no way..more like 12 -14 tops..
I got 17 out of my 96.
Prob possible If left bone stock and on a straight highway with cruise control
I get 16 on the highway out of my 8 l V10...
They talking about when the truck had zero miles lol or less then 15 thousand miles on it
I get 21 MPG on my 5.9 Magnum 2500.
I had a new ‘94 SLT in high school. It was truly a nice looking truck. I have since had a 2007 Ram Sport, 2019 Laramie Sport and now a 2022 Limited.
1994 RAM 2500 5.9 Cummins 12 v such a great engine especially with the 5 speed manual.
I love Ford truck but the 1994 Dodge ram truck is awsome
That's awesome!
We want more dodge ram commercials!!! :)
Back then they were afraid of airbags going off at random times?
I go over bumps that would scare them
They have been testing them since the late 70’s. People were not a fan of them until they became standard around this time. Took a long time for people to like the idea. Even engineers.
Even now in 2019 I think power windows are an excuse for more things to break
not really . the manual windows have more problems then the good designed power windows are actuallly pretty simple
Those 5.9 diesles are hard to come by.
I had a 2000 ¾ ton that's gone to live as a plow truck. You have to get them rustproofed or they would turn to powder
i have a 94 2500 man i didn't know that it came with more options
1994 Dodge Ram is the 2nd Chrysler vehicle added to the LH class of vehicles!:
Dodge Ram
Dodge Intrepid
Chrysler Concorde
Eagle Vision
A melhor pickup ja produzida ram 1500, pena que no brasil aja tão poucas e as que se encontrão em bons estados são um absurdo de caro, desdo o inicio da sua chegada aqui no brasil ja se tornou uma pickup de colecionador.
Oh man, $23k starting price for one of the best looking pickups? Wish I was around 30 years earlier. $23k nowadays gets you a base maverick. Modern half tons start at like twice that.
“It uses the new 134A instead of Freon” uh you mean instead of R12.. it’s ALL Freon. Lol
Ugggg CUMMIMS! Never will understand how automotive journalists can’t just read the word and correctly pronounce it?
Hmmm, and I always thought it was CUMMINS. With an N, not an M.
Lol, before they new about 12v Cummins!
What?
The first year of the 12 valve in dodge trucks was 89
For those that bitch about truck costs, this was a $24k truck in 1994. That equals $43k today. Think about it.
Moooooo
2:54, he actually said that a Dodge Ram got 25.2 miles per Gallon!! Not in this universe! 5:40, The center console is an office with room for a fax machine, or even a com puta! Hahaha! I hope no one believed this garbage!
