While I agree about the 1 1/2T trucks, I disagree with the 3/4 & 1 Tons. I honestly believe the best general purpose P/U truck ever built was the 89-98.5 Dodge with Cummins 12V.
Name any other vehicle that regularly got 500K miles with minimal repair, could tow mammoth loads at highway speeds day in, day out, were relatively comfy albeit a tad loud & rough around the edges,& often never even the head unbolted in that stretch & yet held their value like no other P/U in history.
These trucks are classics & yes, I realize it's mostly the non Dodge related parts that make them classics but Dodge still gets full credit for pairing the undisputed best powerplant together with a descent old truck & making it last.
Dare I say that in the future, there will be as many or more guys looking to collect these trucks than even our beloved FFPW!
That's what me thinks! :)
