tmoore,

If you are waiting on a 05, I remember reading someplace that ALL heavy duty Dodge trucks will be assembled in Saltillo. So if you want a Dodge with a Cummins and want it made in the USA, I think you are going to be SOL.

Just my opion.

my thoughts exactly. The oportunitys for more money are there. Some people need to be spoon fed though. a little "something for nothing" mentallity.

I dont think our trucks would be in the $30,000 range if most of them were made in the US and not in Mexico. I, as well as most people, like to see the lower price.

And one more thing while I'm here. Why is the Dodge in Mexico to start with? Answer that then blow steam. Truth is truth and needs no cover nor explanation. That's it for me. I'm out of here.

Well people being self employed I am not part of any union in any form. I'm glad you are all happy with your mexican made trucks. I take pride in the little sticker on the driver side window of my 98 that says something like UAW, what ever local it is, St. Louis north assembly.
