New RAM commercial

Follow-on to "Half Time in America"*






(*Which was not intended to be political according to Chrysler and the ad agency BTW).

Ehhh, doesn't make me want to spend $30k + for a new pickup.

I still like the one w/ the dually pulling up to the Ford with all the heavy equipment surrounding it.

Serviceability and longevity are not mentioned in that evaluation.

Always a day late, and a dollar short.

Ram wouldn't even be in the top 10 if it were on the list.

That is why there is a aftermarket to fix what dodge did wrong.

My deleted 2012 Dodge beat a 2012 Deleted Duramax 3 times

I thought this was an interesting graphic showing the HP/TQ "war" since 2003:

Yeah, truck ratings from Car and Driver, people who complain if a shift is too firm and if it rides like a 1-ton truck instead of a Caddy.

I don't think I've been all that inspired with any Chrysler commercials since the first "That thing got a hemi" ones.

And for once I would like to see a truck getting bashed over some ground that I couldn't drive a front-wheel-drive car across.
