    I think pricing looks great.  A 3500 Limited Megacab is basically a full-blown luxury car interior, but this is a luxury car that can tow your house! And it still costs less than an S-Class

    And it's available in brown.   They should bring back the name Imperial and put it on the top of the line 3500 Limited Megacab.

    As some may know, I am definitely a "Ford Man".  

    But, as it is right at the moment, I am working in sales at an FCA dealer.  I have for the past year.  I had no qualms doing so because I grew up in Mopar house as much as a Ford house as a lad.

    So, on the new Heavy Duties from Ram.  I believe they will be as big a hit as the 1500 was last year.  It took me a while to warm up to the new '19 1500, but I didn't have that with the '20 HD.  It is definitely a dynamite looking truck.

    It doesn't appear to climbing up too high in MSRP and capability should be at least as good as the outgoing model across the line.

    All in all, I am happy to be where I am at right now.

    • My Bitch of the day, trucks like this need to be impounded for being illegal. The tires outside the wheel well, no mud flaps and way too high to be safe to other autos on the road. Sadly due to most states having this as such a low penalty, police ignore it when they should not as those tires especially during fall / winter throw so many rocks and other debris that it can crack and cause all kinds of problems for drivers. On top of this, I have seen these truck owners replace the fog lights with normal driving LED lights to light the road since the normal headlights are too high now and then they end up blinding people. Totally agree with this article, I do not think the modern small turbo motors will last the way V8 and V6 engines have in the past. Yes, I know not all V6 and V8s have lasted, but I feel the points in this article are pretty spot on. Downsized, Efficient, But Fragile — Why Today’s Engines May Not Last - Autoblog

    • I betchoo that most of Luigi's supporters cheering him on were females.  The guy is a very well dressed and groomed individual. He is also kinda good looking too.  Some girls like that kinda thing in a guy.  Plus the whole murder thing and he is the bad boy some of them crave to tame.    (maybe...what the hell do I know???!!!) Well...he does know what looks good on him at least.  Knows what works for him. If nothing else, he does not dress like a slob and look like a bum.  Better to look good than to feel good, I guess.  Which brings up his mental well being...     Perhaps, a loved one may have gotten their insurance claim denied, or their policy terminated and he vowed revenge on the next insurance CEO suit he observed...  "Let them eat cake" kinda thing and with a "off with her head" result.   Im indifferent to murders like this one.   People gonna snap when injustices are prevalent. People revolt... Maybe this CEO was a sweet man and his insurance company he represented and worked for accomplished the tasks of angels.  Or maybe not.     All I know is that human beings are supposed to have 2 eyebrows...  
    • Well...I do not know about all that... Its easy for me to hate on ANYTHING american right now.  As you guys know...   But I will give praise where praise is due.  u.s. airliners are amongst the safest of all airliners in the world.  Maybe not THE safest but BECAUSE the FAA and the NTSB are quite strict and those entities are BASED in the us, american based airliners COMPLY.  And to be fair, the AMOUNT of americans flying for coast to coast daily, INCLUDING ALL the professional sports teams that fly coast to coast, there isnt ANY incidents.  This year was an anomaly. Quite a few of them incidents did happen. Most of that had to do with trump firing air traffic controllers and the like all in the name of musk's doge bullshyte.   Delta had a couple of questionable incidents and I get it...   But all in all, the airplane industry in the u.s.(except for maybe Boeing the last 15 years and doge) is the ONE industry where money does NOT come before safety and human lives...
