350 VS 3500 Dually's that is what I want to see. I know the margin is big for RAM with the independent RV haulers and hot shotters.
PS: Chrysler's Margins are razor thin. That's why Sergio wants someone to buy/merge the POS known as Chrysler. It's been all over the financial papers this week.
This one has a link to his Powerpoint presentation begging for a merger: FCA Sale/Merger

FCA Profit Margins
Interesting quote on incentives from the FCA Profit Margins article:
FCA's spending on "incentives" -- those cash-back or cheap-financing deals we see in ads, has long been among the industry's highest. That's changing, Palmer says, starting this month.
IOW - they have to discount their stuff the most for someone to buy it! Will be interesting to see how that affects their sales. When you are the lowest cost, lowest quality option it's very hard to move upmarket and takes a LONG time. Just ask Hyundai - it's taking them a long time to shake their sketchy image. Unlike Chrysler, they have the quality to back that up.
Why FCA needs a Merger
They have had how many owners now (4 or 5) and none can make it work.
How many times must we bail Chrysler out before we send them the way of Nash, Studebaker, Duisenberg, Oldsmobile, etc?
