Not sure if Fiat is following suit.

I'd like to see this inside information you have, Mr. Ford Man.*
*I know your probably right, but I can't stand the thought of you being right...
:lol:
I think it was a dumb idea to make the bed out of alumi. just for the simple fact that it's not ridged or dent resistant.
Plus you would never be able to drive over mud, ice or snow without slippin and slidin, (no rear weight).
A front wheel drive car would actually do better then that truck. But everyone's just gotta have a pick'em up truck, even if they never drive off of the state highway.
They should of just went a alumi. cab only. That's where all the weight is anyways.

And I won't allow a manual on the farm. Compleatly useless now and nothing but one more job when the clutch goes out cause someone can't drive a standard.Nesikep":b8d6hcr0 said:Once again, Ram trucks are the last ones still building a truck.. they were the last ones to offer a manual tranny too, which I consider essential
200k miles on any of the new autos are a piece of cake IF they are taken care of.Nesikep":n6p832g6 said:It's rare I see an auto last for 200K... and with the new 6 and 8 speeds I shudder to think of what a replacement costs... usually more than the truck is worth
While I can't say it's a fun job, a $300 clutch is a whole lot cheaper
