GM doesn't have a car on the list due to the 5 year/100,000 warranty on all of their cars and light duty trucks.

The reason the Viper is on the list is because it is EXCLUDED from the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty (for good reason). It is very expensive to maintain. Dodge is anal about warranty claims on big ticket items.

Thats what got me to change a few years ago.  They lost that "cheap" feel.  I really wish dodge could with their trucks.

2009 Dodge trucks are a new body style.....They are shorter in the bed area and have went to a true four door. Slight changes to the interior and cab. We've yet to get one due to the abundance of 2008 product still on the ground. Normally by this time, we have a handful of 2008, but this year we have several.

Went back and inspected the Edge a bit closer. Not quite up to par with some others, but still a great offering from Ford.

Happened to notice that the chrome 20" wheels are actually Chrome plated wheel covers.   :confused:  But...Not really a bad idea, my wife has a tendency to "curb check" when parallel parking. :grin_nod:

Brian, I've been holing out on buying a new truck.  I love my Dodge, but I would really like to see them do some serious upgrades to the interiors.  Any rumors floating about '10 Rams?

2009 trucks are a complete body style change. 2010 will be the same as 2009 year model I'm sure.

No diesel yet....only 2500/3500 series trucks.

Thanks Brian  :thumbs:  

I looked at the website, but I couldn't find anything for the '09 2500 or 3500  :mad:


I REALLY LIKE THE INTERIOR OF THE 1500  :grin_nod:  (nice copy of the f-150 interior  :lol:)

The exterior not so much (looks like a Dakota)  :mad:

Just think that Ford has been doing that since 2004. Only took Dodge 5 years to catch up.

Anyone like the new Ford Flex? They may take a bit of getting use to, but overall I think I like them. Where eles can you get a 7 seater 4x4 that gets just aroung 26MPG? If you like the f-150 interior then this has three row of that..LOL.

Odd but cool.
