Best older Dodge pickup for daily use?

I'm not a big fan of the 88-91 throttle body injection systems. Had and seen too many that will rev to high heavens, and just not do what they are suppose to do. I would say anything 1987 on down (carbureted), or '92 and above. 1999 or above you will get a better overdrive tranny. '87 on down you would be getting a good ole' 727. Just my 2 cents, I would look for a '99 or above. Why? Because fuel injection is nice, especially in the winter, A/C is nice, OD is nice if you want to travel 70 mph, and these years are very easy to get, and price matches condition.

This is when they went "Magnum" motor, correct? What method of aspiration did they use for 92-93 1st Gen Rams?
