" But pulling the car hauler, slogging through a tough off-road course made wonderfully miserable by the soaking rain, and also toting 3,500 pounds head-to-head against Ford and Chevy heavies made this pretty clear: Ram rules. "

Oh yes!

We received about six this week, and they are examples of what good fit and finish can be. I drove an HO six speed, and the torque curve is so smooth and long, it's amazing. Sweet job on these Mr. Zetsche!

Premium Fuel for the HEMI!!!!

Wow, bad mileage and high costs - sounds like they're after the BMW crowd! - Opps, I guess that soulld be the Mercedes crowd. Now all they have to do is put those "21" ego driven tires and wheels that last 10,000 miles and these folks will think the new Dodge is Woody Allen's old "Orgasmatron"

Quote from USA Today:



"Dodge has decided that 'heavy duty' isn't a synonym for ''spartan. '' That's opposite the Ford Motor approach. The F-250 and F-350 heavy-duty pickups have sloppy steering, unfriendly-feeling brakes, bottom-of-the-barrel dashboard appearance"



I was starting to feel that I was the only person that saw those problems in a Drof.
