You guys are forgetting one of the biggest benefits to owning a stubby little regular cab shortbox,there's a whole lot less truck to wash/wax/polish etc.,lol.I'm a nal about keeping my vehicles clean and shiny,and everytime,i'm hand paste waxing my RCSB,i think of the poor buggers having to do the same on a long box crew cab or quad cab truck,lol:Big Laugh:
How do you keep in clean up there this time of year ? I use the wash here once or twice a week this time of year.

I like the description of the RCSBs as: a Challenger with a bed. I didn't make that up, but I wish I had. That's a good one.

The local Dodge dealership had a RCSB 4X4 on the lot a couple of years ago. That was a rare sight indeed. It was so tough looking, black. I drove it. I really wanted to fall in love with it, but it had the 3.21 rear end. The 3.21 was a deal breaker for me. Sorry. I don't mean to offend owners who have 3.21s, and like that ratio. Everybody likes something different.

That truck was there for only 2 days! Now, you'd think if something was selling like hot cakes, they'd always have one in stock, right? But noooo. I'll never understand that. There is obviously a demand for that configuration. Seems like a lost opportunity. Go figure.

You're right. Just like all the years they (Mopar) said nobody wants a 2 door V-8 car anymore. In 2008 they made the Challenger and proved that "theory" wrong. Don't understand manufactures thoughts sometimes! There's obviously a market for RCSB trucks, find one for sale! Build a RCSB truck, they will come!

I told friends I bought an American 2-door mid-engine* V8 that sends power to all four wheels.. they got excited till I mentioned it can tow then somehow it became less interesting to them :(

*the block not counting accessory drive is just barely behind the center of the front axle. technically makes it a front-mid engine on paper if not in spirit :anitoof:

I do think of it as a 5/4ths scale GT car - maybe not as plush as a Continental but it eats miles and never complains about a grade or curve.

Plus I have a 2 door V8 GT (or pony, depending how you feel on the topic) car that can't tow but has three pedals if I feel like riding lower to the ground:driver:
