I also don't want to buy another SUV type Dodge Truck. Yeah, yeah - I know about the modern trucks with upgrades to make the more formidable.
1) Our old trucks are what they are...old, tough, rugged work trucks. And they look like a work truck rather than a luxory SUV.
2) My modern Ram is an SUV that doesn't even have a frame so to speak. Yep...it is safer, drives 100+ mph relatively safe, comfortable, strong, pulls great - powerful, etc. but it is not a pickup like what I want.
Problem is I have to live with it because the world has changed...that is my reality.
3) I still say it is possible to make a Powerwagon today that resembles the legend a lot more than the concept they built. And I think they could sell a lot of them. If not...they why do jeeps sell so well????
