I just saw the most hilarious commercial in my life, it was for GMC and they were talking about how much better the GMC is, then at the end it said we will give you 1,000$ of a new GMC if you currently drive a dodge, what a good laugh I had.
Anyway, thought we could talk about truck commercials, your likes dislikes, etc.

Anybody seen the one where the brand-new Ford Super-Duty pulls the twelve-year-old Chevy and its boat out of the water after it slid down the boat ramp? The couple who own the chevy remark "That sunk fast.", and the Ford driver (an apparently single man) mutters "like a rock.", followed by the BS about ford SD's having "The most torque in it's class", even though any Silverado HD owner knows it's total crap. I cant stand that commercial at all.
remember the commercial about a yr ago.
Snow storm ford tow truck stuck. Chevy 2500 comes along and pulls him out. Ford guy says "i have to get me one of those"
rassom1-The current ram's change in the early 90's changed a lot of things, and added a lot of things that made trucks more personal. The next generation ram isn't going to be a far departure, and their not really changing much from previous years. And their new engines aren't as powerful as the current crop of GM's, back in the early 90's the engine lineup really blew away the competition, not so.
The next generation ram is going to lose a lot of customers that currently drive dodges for a couple reasons. (A buddy at college who owns I think it is a 97 1/2 ton 4x4 35in tires etc was appauled by these changes and said his next truck is Chevy or Ford)
No 4.10 gears in the rear end. Cutting bed lengths to allow for a bigger extended cab. Solid front axles is gone, that got dodge a lot of sales. The new styling though not a far departure, he said the front grill is way to big and hood is too sloped sloped now.
Not too mention dodges automatic transmissions as part of the deal.
Dodge might get back up to 400,000 sales, but it isn't going to steal any significant sales for dodge.
And though I give dodge credit for taking some sales away from Ford and GM what you have to relize is that pickup sales exploded during the early 90's, even when the ram came out, GM and Ford had a boom in pickup sales also. Dodge just caught a lot of that market by non tradition stlying and nice built in features that people that were just commuting in trucks wanted.
BTW, the Dodge Ram is a commuter truck? Wow, never thought I'd hear someone say that!
Ford claims it still has the highest towing capacity (12,500) & highest payload in it's class...
Of course my 2000 Chev. cc can hardly pull itself, amazing it can pull a trailer.
i guess the new rams will be weak then
However, at least you can still get the 2500 or 3500 Ram model if you want to keep the solid front axle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe even the 3/4 ton and 1 ton silverado HD's still have IFS.
I'm honestly not trying to start a war or anything; I even like the 'rado. But I like sticking up for the Ram because it tends to get ripped on by a lot of people who have never owned or even driven one.
