I have fallen very hard for the new Ram, I know it is pure lust, am
going to read all i can about this new truck...My co-worker has
been reassigned to different division, there goes our car pool, shucks
riding in his T100 4x4 with DOHC 6 was fun....kinda gutless, but
it got us to work....

Back to topic....Hope Dodge does something soon...I'm gonna have to buy another truck in a year or so....and it ain't gonna be a Ford. Well, maybe a Lightning...
He just bought a new F-150 (only has 300 miles on it) - he saw I had bought a new truck since he has been home so he came over and ask me how I liked my truck.
He then went on to educate me about trucks -the Chevy is a nice truck, he looked at one before he bought the F-150, but Fords are better - they never break down , bla, bla, bla. He knows he will keep this truck for 10 years and by then it will have 150,000 miles on it but it will still run like a new one.
Then his wife comes out, they get in the truck to leave -
The loudest backfire I have ever heard - followed by clouds of white smoke. Engine sputters to a stop. He tries to start the Ford until battery is dead with no luck. I thought about saying something smart [non-permissible content removed] - but when he got out of the truck he slammed the door so hard it shattered the glass in the door. I almost choked trying to hold in the laughter.
I know this can happen with any brand of truck, but 10 seconds after you brag about how great the reliability of your truck is to have it break down is adding insult to injury.
I will give Ford some credit - the tow truck came and hauled F-150 way within 3 hours - not bad for a Sunday (New Years Eve to boot)

am eagerly awaiting the new GERMAN DODGE, Dakota
has comfortable seats but now I prefer a real one (full size). Enough already with the minis...owned too many of them,
need more room to carry more people....
All the legal problems will be resolved and the Germans will bring quality design and manufacturing to the former Dodge. Just as you look forward to the new German Dodge, the chevy fans secrectly hope the Toyota/GM partnership will improve the quality of their current CR "vehicles to avoid"
damaged the head gaskets on fourrunners several years back. Toyota made good on that but it was interesting how the ROBOTS software corrected the tightening of the heads, at least that was one of the stories from the INTERNET. I
printed out that article, must have mis filed it....
Not so sure on that 7 year old styling part though as it's very subjective. I'm sure the new Dodges will look more like a MB. Your thoughts....
