I think the thread was intended to be about the Ram pickups. But, since the Jeep issue was brought up, yes, this is correct, the Jeeps met all safety requirements that were in place when they were manufactured. Maybe the rear crash standards a few years ago were not as good as they are today, but the point is that the Jeeps were in compliance with the regulations when they were built. My 69 Dodge Superbee had a fuel tank down low under the trunk with the fuel filler behind the license plate - it would never be allowed today, but it was fine in 1969.
What about those older trucks that had the gas tank in the cab? LOL
