Evaluating Future Trucks not yet released to the public.

I have an apt. on fri to evaluate trucks that have not yet been released to the public. Should be interesting, and I will keep you guys updated on any changes made in the trucks compared to the ones already on the market.

I did this for Can Am but I had to sign a confidentiality agreement. Couldnt talk about any thing until after the release date. I was picked of a forum Can Am talk

Ya, I am assuming there will be some type of confidentiality form. I will read it and see what can and can't be discussed. Hopefully I can shed a little light on the future trucks coming out.

They were never made to drop houses on

These are actually stronger than the Gen 1 and 2. Made to bend on the inside and not out. But there are limits. . . .

Compared to my 04 i feel like its going to fold in half when i step in the middle.. I'm only 285 lbs... what happens when i put a round bale on it ... Don't get me wrong there are a lot of things i like over the 04.. but the 2011 sure seems to have a cheap body on it..

Ya, I don't like how the hood bounces when driving. Cheap thin sheet metal.

My hood use to bounce too, drove me crazy. I made a slight adjustment with the hood latch and it's all gone.

Well my hood doesn't necessarily "bounce". The back side closest to the window flexes a lot in the wind.

Geno's Garage sells a grill removal kit for the Dodges that all you have to do is remove 4 pins and the grill comes off.
