+1 for the interior
-1 for hiring a 300 designer, I can't imagine the intial problems that might arise the first year out on these things, the guy never owned a truck until he got hired to build one? and only 1 person on the lead team actually worked on pervious Rams?. I'll bet none of them ever wrenched on an engine before. Lord, that thing could be one hell of a disaster. I'll what until at least 2011 to purchase a new one and see how the problems shake out.

well honestly listening to him I could care less if he was a 300 designer and now he's a truck designer. there isn't a hellish lot of difference between the two. other than looks and capabilities. the guy is a designer/engineer. the principles of making a vehicle that is strong and works properly is standard for all vehicles. I have good confidence in that guy he seems to know what he's doing and I like his work. more power to him.
