Shame about the Ram...it's a much better truck than it's numbers suggest.

Yeah if the wife didn't have bought this Durango I'ld probably buy one of the Dodges.  I really like how they ride and the power- nothing else in the segment even comes close.

i especially like the ram hd. if over all truck sales improve, i think dodge will be one to see increased sales.

i think some of the trucks (like gmc) showed greater dips as their vehicles are not as readily sold into fleets. less costly trucks (chevy, opposed to gmc and cadillac) are typically the brands that go out to bid. my experience, anyway.
