Just saw this today

Just saw the Ram Cummins commercial (don't watch much TV) and found it entertaining to say the least.

Yea I saw this one too.
Entertaining is a good word to use. There's a longer version running on TV.
I'll take the Powerstroke, please.

Thanks Dodge for showing many different classes that have NOTHING to do with a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup except for that Dodge.
So you (Dodge) have a Cummins engine. That's great.
What about the rest of your truck?

can you say harsh ride, can you say rattling apart as you drive down the road.
Cummins always has made a good engine, but the build quality of the dodge (while coming a long ways) still lags behind that of the Ford.

I bought a 2011 F350, but the 2011 Laramie that I test drove was very comparable to the Ford. The interior was very nice (seats were better than the Ford IMO), the ride was very good (quiet), it had tons of neat storage compartments, but the engine was loud and lacking power and the overall look of the truck looks dated to me. Ya, I know the SD hasn't really changed in many years, but it just looks better to my eyes. Also, of the 2 Dodge dealers I visited neither one ever called me back. I told them I had no trade and that I was buying a 2011 3/4 diesel in the next 60 days and I was paying cash. Both promised to get back to me with pricing and availability. I even spoke to the sales manager at one dealership who took my information and promised a call.....

I didn't see the tow truck behind Dodge Ram dually. I'm sure they had it back there somewhere.

When I bought my 07 5.9 Cummins I scoured the internet. Found a place in NC that closed shortly after my purchase (Elgin Dodge or something like that) and I saved about 10K on my purchase. The sales lady sounded hot with a perfect southern draw. I told myself that I bet she was a big un. When i drove down to trade in my 04 2500 Hemi on the Cummins, I approached the dealer and out walked out one of the most smoking hot blondes I had ever seen. She was just stunning, 20 something years old. She told me she sold like 25 or something vehicles that month (top sales person) and I told her "I bet" lol. She went on to work for autotrader in advertising or something but the best purchase experience of my life When I traded in that truck, I lost about 2k off of my purchase price. It helps to shop around and buy from gorgeous blondes
