Since the days of the wedge combustion chamber shape have gone away, especially with 4 valve/cylinder engines the norm, it is now just pure marketing bullshit. I know that, it's what they're calling their engine and I was using it to differentiate from the "Magnum" V8 which is still being built and is in some of the other Ram pick-ups.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

FlyinseivLP2 0 #32 April 21, 2007 The Nissan trucks are great. I have the 4 door Frontier. A very good friend of mine has the Titan and we both love them. The Nissan truck drive better than the Toyotas IMO. Mine is only 2 years old but I have never had any problems with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolas 5 #33 April 21, 2007 Quote I like big!!Bobbi I got new a 2002 Avalanche that I really liked. I got rid of it because I hardly ever took it off road or used it as a truck. Basically used it just to tow a trailer or drive on the highway. Sold it and the trailer and got a used RV van. Best part was no more vehicle payments. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sundevil777 102 #36 April 22, 2007 The Honda Pilot seats 8, has sunroof, DVD player, leather, navigation system available, probably has more interior room. Enjoy your Denali, but at least learn how to spell it correctly. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveStMarys 0 #37 April 22, 2007 Yeah, but its a Honda.My seats fold down and or come completely out....its got all the room I need. Yeah, yeah...it was the excitement of the moment of sharing the good news that made me spell incorrectly.Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

Phillbo 11 #38 April 22, 2007 I took advantage of the 0% financing and bought an '06 F-250 Diesel last august. Nice truck. MPG is not bad: 13-17 around town 18-20 highway (mexico and back = Flat) 14 towing the boat (about 7500#). If you can wait until the end of summer, you'll get a better deal if your going new.

livendive 8 #42 April 24, 2007 QuoteYou do NOT lose any bed length in "real" four-door pickups. You can get domestic 1-ton duallies in short or long bed, two door, extra cab, or "real" four door. Yes, you are going to lose bed length if you buy an import four-door pickup. The new Toyota Tundra is available in double cab (regular doors) with a long bed. The Crew Max is only available with a short bed, but that's understandable given the size of the rear bench (attached). Having test-driven (and owning a Tundra for the last 6 years) I plan on buying a double cab standard bed 4WD 5.7L in a few months. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

gonzalesna 0 #45 April 24, 2007 I like my ram just fine... even with it's 13-15 MPG Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
