They make a Crew Cab Dakota, but keep the Extended cab for the Ram. When will they learn!

Yeah, I've never understood why they never made a crew cab in the Ram, just stupidity I guess.

Hek even Nissan has a crew cab.

 

>>>>I think I remember reading somewhere that Dodge had an agreement with Ford that they would not make a full size crew cab, in not doing so Ford would let them continue to use the cummins turbo diesel in thier trucks. Anyone else hear this????

But Ford does not own any % of cummins.

 

In the early nineties, Dodge restyled their RAM truck and added a V-10 option. My wife immediately feel in love with it, test drove the V-10 from 0-100+ and asked for a Crew-Cab - insisting that she needed/wanted 4 doors.
The manager took her name and number and told her they'd call when they had one.
In 1997, they called offering a V-10 Quad-Cab LOL

In 1998, Ford introduced the Super Duty with a V-10 and a Crew-Cab.

The rest, shall we say, is history.

Cummins makes their own deals. they have a long term agreement w/dodge for 3/4 & 1tons, and since dodge does not have super duty and up in this country (usa), there is no conflict selling the same engine to ford (beefed up) for their larger trucks. besides, ford has no problem selling every powerstroke that comes off the line.

 

Jeez Fast, you just now figured that out? I figured that out when they still were making the old Ram's in 1993. HAHAHAHA

 

Actually I believe they do, Ford put's the cummins engine in there F700s and now the new F650's and F750's.

I knew that a while ago also, Just need proof.

 

You got it now Fast!

 

I tend to think the dodge drivers are dumb!

 

Right on Fast!

 

Maybe Dodge drivers are dumb, but did anyone see that Dodge PowerWagon retro show truck that's making the rounds? Looks mighty good, especially the front end. Can't imagine a crew-cab or SuperCrew version, though.

I'd like to see Ford bring back a modern version of the 1950 F-1. Or how about the Marmon-Herrington-converted Ford-based trucks from around 1937. Anybody recall or read about these brutes?

Basically, a Ford 1.5 ton pick'emup converted to 4-wheel-drive since Ford didn't do it back then, with huge (and I mean tall) tractor-type tires. They were sold by Ford dealers and had the swoopy open-at-the-front fenders and a split windshield and split-oval grill.
