The new 1/2 tons are here

[Hale on wheels]

On my way home from work yesterday, I saw three (3) transports all fully loaded with new 02 ram 1500s, they were all black quad cabs and they looked like the sport models. I was trying really hard to go fast in the opposite direction to get out of town before traffic got bad, but they looked pretty good to me from across the highway (granted I was 200 feet away). They looked similar to the existing trucks to me.

Very close, with some hints of Ford and Chevy in the lines... . or is that hints of Dodge since Ford and Chevy based their designs from Chryco anyway? At any rate, the truck sits pretty low to me. Looks like Chevy 4x4 trucks... like an elcamino with 1" lift kit. When I buy a truck, I want a REAL TRUCK. Chryco better build that Power Wagon cocept truck. By not using Cummins, and going to this new low profile truck, they are going to miss out on a bunch of sales in an already sagging economy.
