I assume its to do with the transmission being broken as described earlier.

We don't have these here (UK) thankfully but we are getting a load of crew-cab style 4x4s, ironically very few if any of them are American - all Japanese. All also driven badly with very fat, shaven-headed men with reflective jackets on pretending to be a serious contracting "boss". And all with Village People style names like Warrior, Navarra and so on.

One at my sons school reversed into a lamp-post, and then denied all knowledge - you know, like bits of glass that had fallen into the bed and so on. If they can't even see a post in daylight what chance does a child have ?

Not much. Since SUVs &c became popular, it's quite common to read of parents backing over their own kids in their driveway.

To be fair, the new Ram is an innovative vehicle. They've finally done away with leaf springs in favor of a 5 link. Still I would choose the Toyota Tundra for reliability.

GM had rear coil springs on pickups in the '60s. They didn't go over real big then.

Or full size Truck Nutz--but hang them from the rear view mirror like a pair of fuzzy dice. That'd make a statement.

Don't forget to fondle them for the enjoyment of other drivers!

Didn't your gramma tell you that if you touched that thing you'd go blind?

Well, don't want that while driving, eh?
