Yep ram sales are so great thats why I've been laid off for two weeks for "inventory adjustments." This is the first time warren truck has been down for this reason in almost 15 years. But hey sales are going up right?

Yea Ram sales are down 13 percent so far this year, Even the Gm trucks have been up this year and they are ancient!

Currently, Dodge Ram and Dodge Dakota Push Truck Sales to 4 Percent Increase

Chrysler Group truck sales increased 4 percent to 48,106 units, compared to last year sales of 44,441 units. Truck sales were led by the company's volume nameplate leader, the Dodge Ram pickup, which posted sales of 35,986 units, an increase of 4 percent over April 2004 sales of 33,284 units. The all-new Dodge Dakota pickup posted sales of 10,535 units, 3 percent higher than April 2004 sales of 9,814 units. Retail results for the Dodge Dakota were particularly strong, posting an increase of 11 percent over April 2004.

I think they did the same thing chevy did. They made changes that don't look good with the style of the rest of the truck...The silverado went from kinda rounded to brick square in the front but the rest of the truck is still rounded....I think they could have gotten at least a few more years out of the current design with minor changes. I especially don't like the new dash. Didn't alot of designers leave recently...I think one guy went to gm.

Chase I think he was referring to year to date sales. Which I know are down. I don't know how much though, I'm sure they will tell us today on our first day back at work.

It's not just Dodge that's idling plants for "inventory adjustment". My son-in-law works at Ford's Michigan truck plant and he's home this week. Third time this year he's been off for a week and he's telling me they expect to be down two weeks in July in addition to the two weeks downtime for plant changeover.

Oh I know, we already had 2 weeks in Jan. 2 in May. 2 more coming the last week of June, and the first week of July. Then 3 weeks are scheduled in Aug. After Aug. our third shift will probably be gone. My point was there is no way dodge truck sales are up overall. April yes, but for the year, no.

Way to grab the camera quick Pat.

I love the new grill, I think it's even more mean and agressive. It's just that chrome bar on the bottom that gets to me, but it's still not enough for me not to like the truck over-all.
