good luck with that ...



only an overpayed executive would think that a new 1/2 truck will help with all the trouble they're in

Cerberus are clueless about the industry they bought into. They thought they'd do a little window dressing and spin it off for a big gain, but quickly found out they've got a tiger by the tail... with no plan. The light at the end of their tunnel is an oncoming train.

No mention of the diesel, which should be what will help really propel the new 1500's launch, with its added fuel economy...

A version of the 300 and Durango with the diesel engines (like Europe) would certainly help also!

Well, in my area of the U,S. the Dodge 2500 Pickup was the Top selling "VEHICLE" in our state from April 2008 to August 2008. Dodge sold over 700 of them during this time, while the closest Competitor, Toyota, was just over 400 Vehicles. THe Ford F-150 was at the bottom of the heap!

I can agree with that, you sure see alot less new fords around than there used to be, whenever I see a new ford I think to myself look there is a new ford, from '06 till now, dodge has owned diesel truck sales in utah, I was suprised when ford just gave the 250 model a touch up rather than a whole new design, I think they made the grill look ugly on the new fords with a funky headlight arrangment with totally new models from dodge and chevy its really going to make the super dootyies look dated. whats fords plan for a new truck??
