The same way a 2 liter or a 4 liter become hybrids, engine size does not determine whether or not it is a hybrid.

LOL, what is he smoking and where can I get some.

And ya, Dodge reliability is not that great compared to Chevy and Ford.

? Then you have not really used these trucks Ive used both and neither one of the 2500 chevy or Fords lasted that long unless you constantly repaired them.

Especially the chevy it began saggin in the middle after two years with its supposed "hydroformed frame" and the brush gaud bumper had to be taken off cause it was bending the frame so they can have their bloated towing numbers. I didnt become a dodge fan due to choice it was due to experience.

BTW since youve came to almost every 4th gen post bashing the 09s clear superiority for what it is what do you drive and what have you driven.

I drive an 98' Ram Sport, and I love it. The new trucks look great, don't get me wrong, they just should have worked on towing capacity a little more.

i was talking about my 99 getting over 20, i have seen it get 22 on the highway.

chevy's are junk and ford's are a little better. All the rednecks i know who beat the hell out of there trucks, drive dodge's.
