    Maybe he likes it just the grill?

    Might not know how. Just pm a modd and tell them to make it fit in the box.

    I love the tool storage on the sides of those types of trucks. I've often wondered why they don't use all that space for built in storage bins in regular street trucks (f150's....). Actually, I think I once saw a newer truck (Dodge??) with some bins built into the wheel well area's accessible from the outside, can't remember the model of that truck. BUT, why don't they all offer that as an option>?

    You got it, googled and found pics.... wonder why more models don't offer this? What a great idea, could keep a saw back there, for those drive by scrounges!

    A wood buyer I deal with use to have one before he upgraded and bought a real truck, whoa watch out, put my asbestos suit on now.

    And a kid on the fire department has one as well.

    All I know is dodges seem to fall apart faster and Ram has struggled for decades with weak auto transmissions.

    The one good thing they got is that they got cummings onboard for their diesel engine.

    My 2001 Ford F150 Screw with 135k on it, is on it's 3rd tranny. Which brand has tranny issues??

    I have 3 Yanmars in my boat, have yet to have any issues with any of them (knock knock knock on wood of course!). I'd much prefer a Yani over a Cummer. So now what? ;)

    Three trannies !!o_Oouch.

    I have an Yanmar in my Yanmar tractor, I love them too:D. I dont own a cummings but were I to buy a truck I think id lean toward the cummings but most likely get a ford. But I dont need a diesel truck so that probably won't happen.

    Ram boxes can be had on pretty much any ram pickup. It's a neat idea, but there's some flaws with the manufacturer that makes the hinges for the ram boxes. Mostly corrosion issues from the supplier not meeting the specs that are called out. I used to work for that company, so I saw the quality and non conforming issues.

    My sister bought a small Ram similar to this. It has four doors and those nifty side panels. But the bed is tiny. It also has no springs on the rear axle. My truck is the 3/4 ton with a Cummins diesel. Her "truck" is more like an El Camino - a car with a bed..... It would not haul much wood :(
