It'll be the world's first truck offered exclusively with FWD and a 2L 4-banger. ;)

Just wait till the riceboys get their hands on that. Soooooo much extra room to mount and even bigger spoiler on the back.

Actually, the subaru brat was a full time front wheel drive 4 banger truck (it was 4wd also, but i know that a few models were 2wd only with a 5 speed stick)


Dont forget VWs attempt at a Rabbit based truck way back when. Didnt Dodge/Chrysler also offer a small pickup that was based on one of its econo-boxes?


VW

Dodge/Chrysler version

augh, that's a terrible pic of one, why not show a nicer one like this? :)

Armada sales should be bad. That thing is a grotesque monstrosity, in addition to being another damned full size SUV. I saw this skinny woman lumbering around campus in an Armada. I wonder if she knows how dumb she looks in that bloated humpback beast.

We're all Nissan fanbois here but.. <picard>The line must be drawn here</picard>

Ram* > All


<small print>
*Dodge Ram pickups were not engineered to handle the amount of power produced by the high output engines. You may experience unusually high failure rates of both transmissions and suspension components on pickups utilizing the diesel engines. All Dodge pickups should only be used in "around town" settings to minimize possible failures in transmission and suspension components. Also, tralier weights should not exceed 1/2 of the rated maximum towing capacity in order to keep stress to a minimum on the not-to-spec suspension and yes, transmission components. Only buy Dodge pickups if you want to brag about the available power without ever intending to use it

The local Nissan dealer area has trying to sell the Titans and the Armada pretty hard, I almost see his ads on every local channel on the hour. But I've only seen a couple of Titans and Armada on the road. People are very loyal to their trucks around here, I mean they consider the people who sold their Ford, Chevy, and Dogde pickups their friends. They may drive Camry and Accord sedans, but their pickups are another story.
