Brian, you're right about the yuppies. I wish the guys at Dodge would have talked to some of the people who own the old wagons before investing in this thing. What they have built is a truck for fifth wheels. A few horse guys; maybe some campers, but certainly not for anyone who would use it as a powerwagon was supposed to be used. There is no function in this form. It's too ...uh,.. pretty. This thing should not carry the name of Dodge on it's side, much less Powerwagon. I can see something like this with C--- or F-- but why Dodge? I've always been able to brag to my friends that my trucks may not be the best looking out there, but they are the toughest. Unfortunately, they're going to build them (there's already some in Mexico) so it's probably too late to change their minds. The yuppies seem to have the money, and they do have the numbers, so they get the truck. Just keep reviving the old metal, boys. Function always seems to win in the end. Go (old) Dodge!
