The 1998 Dodge Ram 3500, the second generation of Dodge's full-size pickup, is both durable and power-packed. It comes in three variants, the Regular Cab, Club Cab, and Quad Cab, with mostly rear-wheel drive, and an optional four-wheel-drive layout. The engine choices include a 5.9L V8 gas engine that delivers 245 hp and a relentless 5.9L inline-six turbo diesel engine outputting 215 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to a smooth 4-speed automatic or a more hands-on 5-speed manual transmission. Other features include front airbags, optional 4-wheel ABS, a standard AM/FM stereo with cassette player, and optional CD player. The heavy-duty frame and powerful engine options made it a favorite among truck consumers in '98, especially those needing a reliable workhorse for towing and hauling.
