confusing info from Dodge

what, last year they said they were moving production on the Ram from Mexico to the USA. I guess they just moved the 1500 production to the US. Now they say this, Quote:

"The 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 Chassis Cab joins an impressive lineup of bold Dodge Ram trucks already built at Saltillo, including Dodge Ram Mega Cab, Dodge Ram Power Wagon, Dodge Ram SRT10 and Dodge Ram Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 models."

So, will the new chassis cab evolve to a 4500 option next year?

They never said they were completely moving HD Ram production to the USA. They moved some 2500 production to St.Louis, but very little. Nearly all HD Rams come from Mexico.

Apparently, The 4500 and 5500's are going to be built at Sterling/Fliner on Freightliner M2 frames with the 6.7l CTD EGR with VGT and The G56 or Aislin 6 auto. They probably won't have as much power as the 3500 HD pickups because they are class 4 and 5 rated. ks

But the million dollar question is when are they going to release the 450 550's??
