Wazz up @ Dodge Truck?

Just for kicks, I went to the '09 Dodge site. One can compare the tow/haul capacities of Dodge vs. Nissan, GMC, Toyota, or Chevy. The new Dodge tows as much as 1 TON less and carries 500# LESS than Chevy half tons. In fact, the weakest of all listed.

Ya think the weak link could be that highly touted Dodge independent rear suspension? Maybe some old left over Mercedes Benz parts? :D:D:D

I'm fairly certain it is the new suspension. In reality, how many trucks have been sold that hardly ever carry more than a bag of trash or a few 2x4's over the last 5 years? Dodge had good plans in place for this truck- but the rear suspension should've been optional.

Every automaker is kicking themselves in the ass over R&D with their truck lineup right now except GM. Let's keep it that way!!
