They are the pair of Dodges that feel more like trucks and less like pickups. But for the 2010 model year, these big rigs -- in all five trim levels -- finally offer interiors and exteriors that are executive worthy, though the truck has blue collar roots. But now architects can finally arrive on job sites in the same vehicle the crews they hire use. Following the successful launch of the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500, it was only a matter of... Full article...
