I THINK that's what this article says....

And from that picture I'm glad I got a quad cab. That thing just looks dorky.

 

Have you seen the interior pics yet?

 

Yeah - I've seen a couple of pics of the interiors - I think they look cool on the inside, but the outside.... Well, I do live in the 'Show-Me' state now, so I guess I'll have to wait and see what they look like in person....

 

Just curious, the article does not mention that 3500's are made in Mexico, are they made somewheer else?

"Saltillo's 2,100 workers also build the Dodge Ram 2500, the Ram 2500 Heavy Duty and the Ram SRT10."

 

The 3500's are only built in Mexico, the article just overlooked it. I have two of them due to be built the 29th of this month, so they should show by about the 15th-30th of september. I think they look good, I love the new 06' interior. Everybody complains when something new comes out. I remember all the when the 3rd gen's hit and how ugly they were, funny how people change their minds after a year or so.

 

Good article, thanks.
I wonder what those 2100 workers make an hour? 26.3 hrs to build a truck in Mexico and 19.8 in the USA yet they still opted to build an even bigger truck there.
There must be one heck of a profit margin on trucks made there.

I'm also surprised at the sales figures, Ram down 4.3% and F150 up 5%. I see a ton of Dodge trucks anymore and hardly any F150's. I have to admit I looked at an F150 before deciding on a Ram and it's seats were hard as bleachers. I assumed sales of that truck were way off as Ford made such a big deal of redesigning their flagship model and you don't see that many on the road.
