Better balljoints, better switchable reverse lights so I could flip them on when locking the gate or hooking up a trailer, manual locking hubs, manual shifting transfer case.
Tell me about the Fiat Diesels....

From another thread, posted by an owner who works with their truck daily, hauling livestock and such (In case the fellow from Chrysler is still listening!!):
Like I said........
Thanks Banyon and everyone. This is really a nice truck.
Looks I am getting about 16.5 mpg at higher interstate speeds out of the box. Same as my 08' when I picked it up. The 08' was almost pushing 20 at 35K.
I suspect this truck will eventually mellow out in the 18 -20 mpg range.
The 6.7 auto 4x4 has more than enough torque and HP for my needs. I hope they now concentrate on reliability, durability, fuel economy and getting control of their costs.

More to back up my post, slow2run, that owners are looking for MORE that just more HP and TQ!

Ford and GM are going to tout HP and hauling, showing their trucks hauling more bales of hay and pulling a larger livestock trailer or a flatbed of big tubes. What Dodge needs to do is show the Ram HD doing what it does best, WORK and differentiate itself by showing it doing that work and besting the others with class leading FUEL MILEAGE!!!
