Hey, I can off road my Ram. The humiliation at the Central Texas meet aside, I think it can be very capable off the road. I have plans for a lift and 33's, plus a locker for the rear. Damn thing certainly doesn't lack for power and I am not afraid of getting a few more beauty marks on it.
Maybe down the road I will actually get a true 4wd one, which run solid axles all the way up to 2001 in the 1500 (D44) and up to 2002 in the 2500/3500 (D60).
The explorer fills my small off road rig fantasy, but the Dodge Ram is my full size one.
