They are built for work and towing/hauling...not hauling ***.
As lest we get into the Ford/GM/Dodge debate...there are some of us who have had the misfortune over the years of owning Fords and GM's of various types and will NEVER go back...regardless of hp ratings.
I will admit however that the new Ram style looks really stupid and almost as cartoon-ish as the Echo. Kind of a Kenworth charicature. The previous body is much more appealing.
All the above are exactly my reasons for keeping the Ram and hanging onto it for a very long time...especially when MOPAR has a 380 hp crate engine that is a direct drop in should mine ever give up.

i don't give a $hit what there built for a 5.9 L should put out more than 245hp. Its just ****ty dodge that can't build a decent engine (except the viper)on any given day

Try towing a boat with full camping gear over rough roads in a Viper. By the way, there is always the V10 if you want a 'decent' engine in a Dodge.
Trucks = torque. End of story. And I DO mean real work trucks, not one off suburban cowboy mobiles like Lightnings, etc. They are great technological works, but not 'real' daily job site to job site haulers.

wow looks like you need to be driving an intrepid or something. I think you attacked first and I was just giving my thoughts. Plus i never said a viper could pull a boat thats just silly. By the way just get a new chevy more power and more reliable and i am IBTL cause this is way way off topic
