Ha ha. The Ram is the prettiest, tough rig on the road, That's all that matters. Can't beat a Cummins with 6 speed tranny. Chicks will dig you.
Funny how irrelivent this chest-thumping is when 25 years ago I was jumping a K-Car over the dunes at the playas just south of La Mision.

I noticed that the video was produced by the Ford Motor Company.
Maybe the rest of the companies should produce their own test.

Ram is in last place for looks.
1. Chevy
2. Toyota
3. Ford (Raptor jumps Toyota and maybe even Chevy)
4. Ram

Once Toyota is allowed to sell its diesel version Hilux and Land Cruisers here in the states, I'll be selling everything and buying one heh. But that
won't happen. Government blocking it or what? I don't know.
