I really try and not bash other manufacturers trucks but....

Did doge just straight copy the fx4 especially 2004-2005 models for their new truck? Reason posting this i saw one driving and thought to myself wtf that looks exactly like my yellow fx4.

vs.

Like i said sorry if this is a repost or in the wrong forum i just was pissed when i saw it. But whatever my truck is still nicer than the new rip off.

Except the Dodge also has the power wagon option/trim level. Now that would be a worthy package for ford to copy since they are dropping the FX4 as a model, down to a trim.

Where on earth did you get that info? In fact, for 2010, they are adding the FX2 back.

YES, they did copy Ford. Of course, when you are chasing the same target for so long, it becomes all consuming in your mind. Nothing else can be thought of or even matters. Food looses its taste, water no longer quenches the thirst, satisfaction becomes a faded memory, ecstasy is.............. Well, you get the picture.

Looks good from the side... Don't like the front of the new Dodges and I would really be concerned with that type of rear suspension in a four wheel drive truck. That doesn't sound like a very bright idea...

Great lookin truck!

I've only had 2 DOGE vehicles in my 50 years of driving......

1.) 1966 DODGE CORONET "383" ...........SUUUUWWEEEEEET!
NEVER had a problem with that car and I ran the **** out of it (I was 19!)

2.) 1984 DODGE Pickup........... FAST AS HELL for a truck......
NEVER had a problem with that truck and ran the **** out of it (I was 37)

Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another DODGE TRUCK, especially with the HEMI!

Having said that, I DO like my F150!
