For the first time I passed a Sterling pick-up truck in Sarasota, Florida. Looked a little like a Chevy with black fender flares.

You better look again. The only difference between Sterling and Dodge pickups appearance wise is the grill and badges.

I like those Sterlings. They come standard with some things that are optional on the Rams. I think I like the grille better too. Either way, I'm sure both are good trucks.

Again, not these. These are based off of the Ram 4500/5500.

Not only did Daimler steal the Heavy Truck Divisions form Chrysler they stole the Ram 4500/5500 HD pick up also. They call it the Bullet.

Dodge is doing a pretty good job of turning out trucks, with revisions as Sterlings and I hear soon, they may do the same thing for Nissan.
