When everybody's wrong about something, it's common to hear the idiom, "Hindsight is 20/20." When Dodge began its much-needed redesign of the Ram 1500, the company still expected trucks to be popular with all kinds of drivers, not just those who truly needed the heavy-duty capabilities of a full-size truck. Perhaps Dodge could have seen the seismic shift away from trucks coming, but regardless of their market forecasting, Chrysler LLC has delivered one heck of a truck.
