My truck has a crumple zone up front. Maybe our frame is just that much stronger or something.
I talked to a lot of people before I bought my truck about reliability and maintenance. Most of them came back and had a few problems with theirs but no one had major problems with their rams. Then I saw an accident with a Ram and a chevy and the Ram faired far better in the accident, that pretty much sealed the deal for me. I want reliable and safe and the Ram is that.
