I fully expected a Roush truck to be a racer, not a mudder

Intriguing indeed.















Your move FORD ...
Keeping the Dodge/Ram tradition going strong I see...

Judging by where the TRX is on the flatbed... Oakland University entrance... The mighty TRX only made it about a mile away from head quarters before breaking down.

It could have broken down farther away and they just caught a picture of it there too.

Kinda surprised they don't have their own tow trucks really, seriously I don't care the brand.

Oh, I'm not switching sides, but Dodge seems to be leading the pack when it comes to trucks. They ditched leafs for springs and those trucks do have a smooth ride. Dont know about how they haul a load though.

If they could just make camshafts that didn't go round, trucks that rust away in a few years and rear suspensions that need airbags IMO they would be doing a lot better.

It isn't hard to find a 5yo Ram with almost as much rust as my 18yo F-150. Rocker panels and wheel arches... just like forever.

I like the looks of the last gen, I actually checked into getting a 3/4 ton... I had a hard time talking myself into one once I started paying attention to them.

I love the concept of the Power Wagon though...

To add to the confusion of the New "Tremor" version, Ford is now offering a STX "special addition" for 2wd & 4wd models
