Coming back from the dear camp this afternoon, I stopped at the Ford/Chrysler dealer my cousin works at, but he already left. Driving out of the Chrysler shop I noticed a 2500 Long Horn LWB 4x4 Crew Cab so I had to take a look at it. It was a '14 model with the new 3 link front suspension and the rear coil springs. The rear frame actually flares outward, the rear shocks go thru the middle of the frame, and a 5 link setup ties the differential to the frame, and surprisingly the rear coil springs are fairly small compared to the front springs. Looks like a very complicated setup, and a lot of moving parts.
On another note, I also saw what has to be one of the ugliest vehicles currently offered by any manufacturer and that is the new Jeep Cherokee. The front end design is about the most ridiculous design with the hood feeling like it was possibly plastic, but I'm not sure. What a waste of resources for a vehicle that ugly!
