Medium duty trucks include the Ram 4500 and 5500. The Ram 2500/3500 etc are not heavy duty.

Your choice as to whether Dodge importing chassis cabs from Mexico is a real threat to national security.

The 25% was supposed to start on October 1. There was the usual wait for “appeals.” The automakers did appeal, using words.

Ram 4500, 5500 to be hit with 25% tariffs any day now… maybe

The beancounters are crunching the numbers. Do they eat some of the tariffs to keep them competitive? Or move production to Warren? Given they have nothing to replace the products Saltillo, I bet they stay put. I hope I'm wrong.

One evening when the alcohol was flowing, stories were being told. Seems like one guy use to be US legislature.

When he arrived , he was asked, What color?
