Default i am so sick

....and tired of getting 4x4/truck magazines or catalogs and its jeep, jeep, jeep, ford and chevy. then maybe a dodge.
dodge is one of the biggest manufactures of trucks. i love my dodge and would love to see these 4x4 parts or truck magazines show more dodge parts.
i was just browsing the 4wheel parts online site and the one page i started out on has nothing for dodge.
jeep parts gm&ford parts. its sickening.

It's all about who invests more in advertising and the support for aftermarket products.

What gets me is the apparent "millionaire" projects everyone seems to do in magazines and TV shows. They install all these top-of-the-line parts, in state-of-the-art shops, and everything works flawlessly, then prove it on their personal dyno, then title the article "DIY." Sheesh.

Yeah I know. I used to subscribe to Petersons 4wd and offroad magazine. Got so sick of the Jeep/Ford/Chevy (even though I drive a chebby) build articles. I bitched at them once in a letter and finally got my Dakota in, but still..Ram is usually included in some head to head test but they dont often "build" one like they do other makes. I let my subscription expire.

I think Ford and Chevy have more of a "cult" following than Dodge....

They obviously have not visited the 2nd gen Ram section of DF. This place is beyond cult.

Dodge has always been the smallest of the big three. Compared to Ford and Chevy is sheer numbers of trucks out there Dodge pales in comparison.

Still get Petersons 4wd (letting it expire). I'm a firm believer that off road should be gas 4x4's, however I too get sick of jeeps, Chebbies and Fords. I also get Diesel Power and there, Dodge/Cummins does reign supreme (content and advertisers). The wife went back home to NC with the Chevy, so it's nothing but us Dodges for now. K.

watched some show this am on spike tv and sure enough everything geared, including commercials to jeep.
or at times i have seen a head to head test and the trucks they choose are like F250 vs ram 1500. so yea i would expect the dodge to not fair so well.

Were im at here in Idaho you see more Dodge trucks than any others. I have owned a couple of ford trucks in the past and they were good trucks, but I like Dodge trucks the best. I also have to agree that when it comes to most magazines and parts catalogs it seems Dodge is left out of most of them.


Maybe its because there scared of what a Dodge Ram is capable of ?.


I use LMC truck or Rock Auto to find most of the parts I need for my
2000 Ram 1500 4x4. Ive always had good service from both of them.
