Had a 2005 Ram, loved it. Have a 2007 Ram, love it more. BUT, I won't have a FIAT!!!!
Or a Government Motors. Next truck has to be a Ford!

 

MotoTread LOL, I remember when they awarded the Honda Ridgeliner the truck of the year in 2006, with its car like uni-body and smushy coil sprung IRS rear end and a box that could barely fit a lawn tractor and only come in a V6, it has the least towing and load capacity of any truck made even against a mid size trucks with a real frame and left sprung soild axle.

Not saying the Honda is not a nice "what ever it is" but its like naming a snowmolibe "ATV of the year".

 

No offense to any owners, I'm sure it is a practical vehicle for a lot of folks, but I don't think most people would even consider it a truck.

Kind of a Minivan El-Camino cross breed...

Anyway, HD trucks generally have a gross vehicle weight rating of 9,000 to 12,000 pounds and a combined rating up around 26,000, so it's kind of comparing apples and oranges.

 

Can't remember where I saw it, but they had the Ridgeliner's tag line as:

Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.

 

Speaking of El Camino's, am I the only one that thinks making those or Ranchero's again would be a good thing?

Put it on a decent car frame for a nice ride, still have towing capability of a Ranger or similar. Heck, I'd buy one.

 

Thats what I mean about Motor trend ,I don't think they have anyone working there that knows anything about vehicles.

When something that has nothing bigger then a 3.5 V6 motor wins "2006 Truck of the year",you should get you vehicle info elsewhere.

 

No don't do it Luke! Don't turn the dark side.......Well guess we all have to learn the hard way LOL

 

I was there before the first Ram. 91 full size Bronco Eddie Bauer. 351 performance pkg, 10.50 31 real all terrain tires, trailer pkg. They called them a SUV when that became "in", but they were all TRUCK! Not a suburbanite wifey's grocery getter. Wish they still made them.

 

BTW 57HEMI, you on Dodgetalk.com to?
