Yeah, IMHO, if they want to make the Durango bigger, just stick it on
the Ram chassis - heck they already do that in Mexico - how much additional
tooling could it be? Then they can leave the Dak alone. I think its a big
mistake to get rid of the mid-size truck in the lineup.

Ditto here - however, the Chrysler that my loyalties lie with died
in '98. I have no loyalty to Daimler whatsoever. At this point, I think
the only thing that would make me think better of Daimler is if they
sold back the company... I think the devious and blatantly immoral way
they took Chrysler over in the first place pretty much sets the tone
for their whole relationship with "the company formerly known as Chrysler".
