With our coverage of the 2010 Paris Auto Show in full swing, we looked over our shoulder at the other guy’s covering this show and realized that they are in the wrong place. Apparently they were hoodwinked into showing up at some lame ass show in France. Fools! We celebrated by getting blind drunk and then we woke up on a street corner where people were speaking French!
Luckily for us, the piece of newspaper we were using for a blanket alerted us to the fact that we were in Montreal, Canada. That same piece of newsprint had a small announcement about a Chrysler press conference that was set to reveal the 2011 Ram trucks. We snuck in the back door and were greeted by the magnificent sight of a brutish looking creation that will sell like hot cakes in this world of coddled truck buyers.
We were so excited to see that the boys making the calls for Ram trucks have decided to ditch heated seats, big inch wheels, plastic exterior cladding, overhead valves, fuel injection, seat belts, a modern HVAC system, and all power accessories. This is a BangShift approved machine!
By thumbing their noses to the softie trucks being built by their rivals, Ram will steer the market in a whole new direction. Gone are the days of cruising at more than 45mph, listening to the radio, and not getting frost bitten during the winter. If you’re afraid to scrape ice off the inside of the windshield, this isn’t the truck for you. Man up or get the F out….that’s the message they are sending, loud and clear.
Sure, you are thinking that $25,000 is too little to pay for so much truck. How could they be making a profit on this masterful piece of engineering? They’ll make it up in volume we guess.
