Hey. Nice JEEP.

I own many 4X4's, Mostly Dodge.

I do own 2 Jeeps too, and I can attest the JEEP 4X4's I have can hang and usually surpass my Dodges off-road. And on top of that, the JEEPs are mostly stock. I took one JEEP off in the sand, with low tire pressure. Just point and go, it would climb over what ever was in front, I was going places other guys wish they could have gone. with little effort.

Now, my RAM could do the same, but the I'd have to use the power of the HEMI.

Each has its benefits.

North Dakota!!! Where you at?

Approach angles are better on a Jeep and the weight of them helps but there is no bed! Had a 96 Grand myself with the 4.0L.

I'm in Fargo! To answer another question, at the moment im not as interested in a pickup...i like the jeep/suv style mainly because I am off road quite a bit and its just a bit more practical for me. but I'm really interested in what the ram has to offer in case I'm ever in the market for one. dont be mad but I have heard allot of stertotypes about dodges being built really cheap, so I want to put that to rest.

I am also from Fargo although just moved to Alexandria, MN for work. Your Jeep is a Dodge really so don't listen to the haters they will also tell you Dodge has bad transmissions since they had some issues in the 90's. Dodge is relavant and they are gaining market share day by day. I understand why you like SUV's I too love them. I have had a Jeep and three Durango's and I love the way they drive. Since my wife has the SUV (Journey) I have the Ram.

Go drive a Ram at Corwin... WARNING you will want one...

Once you Go (RAM) Horns, You Wont Go Back

I've had a CJ and two Durangos and once I bought the RAM I wondered why it took me so long to shift to a pick-em-up truck.

Careful, once you go horns, you wont go back.:dogpile:
