Rocky Ridge Trucks: Ohio Finally Gets Altitude While the Dodge boys do a great job of producing a solid truck, the unavoidable realities of any mass produced item means that it makes sense from an efficiency standpoint to only offer a limited number of options. The options which are in fact offered by the factory are the ones that have the greatest numerical demand, which means that those who value a truly exceptional truck have to go elsewhere for the custom options that are beyond the regular factory list.

 

The problem with customizing modern vehicles, however, is that so much of the truck’s equipment is computer monitored or controlled so that even something as simple as adding on a set of non-factory-standard rims and tires can seriously upset the balance of the system. For those customers who really crave an [...]

2015 RAM Heavy Duty Trucks: Best in Class or in a Class all by Itself? Fiat Chrysler’s Ram Truck division has raised the bar yet again. This time, the bar itself weighs 30,000 pounds and can easily be towed by the Ram Heavy Duty 3500 – a feat which it’s closest competitor falls about a ton and a half short. Towing capacity, however, is only one of the Ram Heavy Duty’s strongest suits. With best in class power and payload capacity, the Heavy Duty line throws down a gauntlet and dares other brands to pick it up.

 

While not everyone needs to tow 15 tons, the 3500 Heavy Duty towing capacity sets the standard high to keep the competitors at bay while still keeping to the SAE J2807 towing test criteria. This makes Ram Heavy Duty to go-to truck for those [...]

Ram Trucks Reinvent the Tailgate

 

There is nothing that is so basic and simple that it can’t lend itself to being reinvented or improved upon, and the venerable pickup truck tailgate is no exception. Ram is taking a fresh look at tailgate technology and they have come up with a great new take. Their “Multi-Functional Tailgate” design has the potential to add a new level of convenience and functionality to pickup truck loading, unloading, and transporting.

 

Basically, they have designed a touchpad-actuated split tailgate whose sections can open independently, as either a traditional tailgate, or swing out like the rear doors on a traditional van. The two sections can also be opened together as a single tailgate.

 

The advantages of this design are immediately apparent if you’ve ever struggled to control a heavy, unwieldy, full-sized-truck tailgate while trying [...]
