1997 Dodge Ram Surviving the test of time. By Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief, New Car Test Drive .com

Dodge has been refining the Ram Wagon and

Ram Van models for 25 years. This year, the side and rear doors have been

revised to open wider for easier loading and unloading. The Ram's front

end was completely restyled in 1993 and the steering and suspension systems

were re-engineered for a more controlled ride.
