All-New Detroit Auto Show Debuts: Ram Heavy Duty Trucks, Kia Telluride & Ford Explorer

Ram introduced new heavy duty trucks. Ram claims this is the most capable truck in its class, with the ability to tow up to 35,100 lbs. The Ram also outhauls every pickup available -- with a 1,000 lb ft of torque. The trucks should mirror the light duty truck in terms of ride and handling capabilities.

The Kia Telluride, with its three rows, becomes the brand's largest SUV/crossover. The big body vehicle will built in the U.S. and be available in early spring.

Ford has repositioned its Explorer to ride on a rear-wheel drive platform. This adds to the styling and  the added towing capabilities that escapes most of today's front wheel drive crossovers.
