1st, 2nd, or 3rd Gen Dodge Trucks?
I am just curious to see what generation of ram trucks are the most liked on this forum. I personally like the 2nd Gen trucks the best. I think they look the best and are better suited for a hard days work. What do you guys think? .....Sorry, forgot to add 4th Gen trucks to the title.

I've always liked the 2nd Gen Rams, and when I was looking for a truck, I went with a 2nd Gen Ram. My vote is for 2nd Gen.
Tincan,
I've heard multiple people refer to the 2nd Gen Ram as a Real Truck, or an Old School Truck, and not the 3rd and 4th. Could you tell me what some of the reasons are as to why the 2nd Gen is a Real Truck? I'm curious as to why, and I'm glad I went with a 2nd Gen.

People call the older trucks "real trucks" because they were made in the wonderful time before the tree-hugging ****** in washington started sticking their fingers into every little aspect of the automotive market (and putting that filthy ethanol into our gasoline).
The older dodges are just rough, tough, old school machines with good ol fashioned pushrod V8s who will chug through anything and everything you throw at them...they're also built like tanks (weighing in at around 6000 lbs i believe) because vehicle weight wasn't as much of a concern. Things like this are the exact reason I chose to get an older truck...they are easier to understand, easier to work on, parts are cheaper and they can take a beating.

1997JollyGreenGiant,
jkeaton and CSDavies26 took the words right out of my mouth. Also note the poll percentage of 58% for 2nd gens. I've done the Hemi thing. Me personally, I'll run and maintain a second gen pickup. Now my wife likes a car/truck.
So I will clarify the wife's decision, she wants a Hemi. I will sell her current ride and she can use her own $ to buy the thing above the cost of what her current one brings. I'm a 2nd gen guy. K.
