One thing that really bothers me about Chrysler is that when they get on to something good they dump it instead of making it better and more popular. They canned the Dakota which is a shame because it outclasses the ford and GM offerings in that model range... PLUS, they just looked cool before the last couple of years changes.
You made some great points and brought a lot of information to the discussion which is the most important part of it all.
I also want to note that my current campground neighbor found out the hard way that just because a truck has a manual transmission and it is set in neutral does not mean that it can be flat towed. He has a late model Chevy 1500 with manual transmission and burned up the transmission to the tune of 6500 bucks for new tranny, clutch and the works while flat towing it. The only way to flat tow his truck is to remove the driveshaft.
