The Flex is just ugly.

It won't make it. Ford just can't get it right on SUV's.

GM holds the market share on Tahoe/Suburban.

I may agree with you but people seem to really love that flex.  So we'll see how it goes.  And I HATE the new tahoe/suburban look.

There are soooo many tahoes and subarbans on the road, to many for me to want one anymore. (I loved my old school '86 suburban though  8) )

Can't stand it.  And I liked all the styles before this one.  Plus the inside layout is crap IMO, the seat was uncomfy (a big shock to me, gm seats rock) and the 3rd row doesn't fold away easy like the other brands have gone to.

Yes it is the best one yet, but that is'nt saying much. This last generation of suburbans were pretty bad. I have a couple of die hard chevy fans that own them and have had nothing but problems. Interior rattle (BAD!!!), and feels cheap. Suspension is not up to todays standards. Torsion bars, what are thoes??LOL


Fords SUV are leaps and bounds ahead of the chevy! 4 wheels independant suspension, quite interior. The only thing is that they may not get as good of gas milage. maybe 2MPG worse.

The Expedition is SUPER tough!!!! long story short I have a friend of a freind that stole one and we spend the whole night trying to kill this thing. We jumped it 6-7 feet in the air with no landing, mudded it, hill climbed it and so on. IT WOULD NOT DIE. It would take higher jumps than the passangers inside could take. It ran for an hour with NO fluids AT ALL!!! jumping, nurtral bombs, ANYTHING!!!

At the end of the night we launghed it down a creek (without us in it) 30 ft or so and it still drove after that. We said screw it and left it there.

Fun night!

Expedition drives like shit in my opinion......I really don't care much for them. They road walk all over the road.

I like the ride of a Tahoe better than the Expidetion.  But the Expo feels more like a truck to me  :grin_nod:

Nah, I'm a Ford guy at heart, but I got a good deal on my Ram back in Jan 06.  I paid less than 14,500 for an '03 QC 4x4 with less than 60K miles.

It's nothing special, but it looks good and does the job.

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.

~Brian

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?

Aaron

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

Interior has been upgraded!

ummmm, yuk!  Not a fan of that new dodge's look. Sorry, guys....Might grow on me, I didn't like the Dakota at first , but i dig it now.
