Our small town has a very high% of 4x4 Diesel trucks, usually they are bought new here, and replaced every few years. Any time a new model/improvement is introduced, you usually see it within the first month.
Not so with the Mega-cab. Nobody seems to be buying those up. They are flat out ugly, and I am disappointed that Dodge can't seem to get it right when it comes to crew cabs.
The Fords sell like crazy here, and the dealership is very nice, damn near looks like a resort. The Dodge dealer looks like a ghost-lot.
Rioght or wrong, looks usually sell a vehicle. Ford trucks have better colors, and way better interiors.
Dodge trucks in the past have been viewed by most as the odd truck. The Cummins engine was a stroke of genius, but the truck they stuck it in initially was very dated. Not until 1994, when the new style came out, did the trucks get noticed and start to sell to indiviuals, not just commercial. It is the Cummins that has made Dodge, not an in house built drivetrain......
