Dear Sig. Marchionne:
I realize you're busy between cigarettes trying to save America's third largest carmaker, but we haven't been introduced, and I've been meaning to drop you a note.
A few weeks ago, I got the chance to test drive the new 2010 Ram 2500 Laramie, loaded up with that mega-powerful 6.7-liter Cummins diesel and just about every creature comfort known to the pickup world.
Now, I realize it's been a tough year for Chrysler Group LLC, what with the bankruptcy, a slight sales drop, Michael Jackson's death and more name changes than the man formerly known as Prince -- who is now Prince -- has endured. Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep aside, not everything needs an overhaul.

The all-new heavy-duty Ram, formerly known as Dodge Ram, doesn't need a single bolt screwed with. Just sit back and take the credit.
These trucks make up the best group of heavy-duty pickups ever produced by Chrysler, which took all of the great things about the 2009 Ram 1500 and applied them to the big rigs to make them better.
While much of the company may feel like it is in shambles, Ram's tank is full. (And please, kibosh that commercial. Whenever I hear it on the radio, I have to pull over at the next rest stop.)
Honestly, (and this is just between you and me), the Ram 2500 is an absolute thrill ride. The diesel engine booms with more authority than a Downriver cop, and it's more comfortable than a Bloomfield Hills living room. It is Cass Corridor gritty and Royal Oak refined. Welcome it to the neighborhood.
I"
