25 Years of Evolution

Just took delivery of the new company truck last Thursday. 2011 3500 crew 4x4 auto. Here is my truck parked beside it. Dodge trucks have changed alot in 25 years.

Yep, They asked me what I wanted and then we ordered it. It is replacing the '08 Chevy Dmax on the other side of it in the pic.

Unfortunately for you...my 12 valve will get better fuel mileage . In a way, not much has changed in 22 years.

Glad they spent the money on a cummins though.

On the flip side that baby probably weighs like 2x as much as your 12v and can seat about 3x as many people.

On the other other flip side...she sure is ugly!

The new one looks good but I'd take the old one given the choice.
Glad to hear they got you what YOU wanted.

I'll take the 1st gen over the new one. All these new trucks look really cheap too me.

I pulled into a dealership last week, (I was there for a quote on a bed liner) and the sales guy asked me if I wanted to trade my fresh crew conversion in. I had to say no.if there was no sentimental value, it was my grandpa's truck, and they would go straight across I would have said yes though.
