Steal a design and make it ugly! That takes some real talent there! They took the Ram and f&%^ed it up!

I spoke with Chase about this last night, but I'll elaborate here too.
This isnt as big a rip as you might think. Look at any current Toyota Tacoma...and you'll find some very striking resemblances to that new Tundra. Instead of adding flares, they built it into the truck. Otherwise, it does look a lot like the current Tacoma. I know the Tundra is the fullsize truck, but go look at a current 2005-06 Tacoma.....you'll find some very similar looking items.
Does it borrow some of the Ram's styling? Sure it does. Every new car borrows something from a popular model from the year before. Whether it be lights or a certain hood scoop etc.
The whole fist shaped front end is not exclusive to Dodge. Ford has used it. So to sit here and compare it exclusively to Dodge is a load. Also, the whole 5.7L engine part is also again, not exclusive to Dodge. Nissan has a 5.6L, which is basically the same thing. Chevy has a 5.3L and a 6.0L engine and Ford has the 5.4L V8. I mean, if borrowing the same engine size were a crime, well, you better arrest every car manufacturer on the planet.
Is this a Ram wannabe? Probably, and with good reason. The Ram is easily the best looking truck out there right now. That said, if I wasnt buying a Dodge, I'd be buying a Toyota. Outside of a diesel anyways

Hahahaha!! They most definately did get most of their designs from the Ram. I'm just glad that they idolize the Ram, America's best selling full sized pickup. Go Toyota!!

We all will have to wait for the next Ram body. I'm sure it won't look like anything else out there. Dodge does not follow industry truck design, they lead it!

. If it werent for the auto economy jumping around so much lately it prolly wouldnt come to a copy-cat war between automakers.
