Very nice. What did Thule bring to the table? Do they make moto gates now?

I guess if your name is RC you can have a chevy and a dodge. Good for him.

I ran into Ricky in the hallway at work when he was at GM Design collaborating with the designers. I said hi to him and called him RC. later on I wished I'd have thunk to call him "goat" because I'm sure I would have gotten some puzzled looks from the management guys accompanying him to the studio...lol.

Does Dodge not care about this? or the "personal" sponsors not a factor in their relationship.

RC has a longstanding relationship with Chevy, going back to '07 and his Chevy Trucks Kawasaki days. That relationship also grew when he was driving Chevys in his NASCAR truck days.

As I understand it, he has been able to maintain that relationship since the race team came after. Apparently he's been open and transparent with both sides when the RCH team deal was coming together and explained the pre existing relationship and both sides were understanding.

I like my Colorado Crew cab (4x4 also). New model does look cool

- plenty of room for taking 2 bikes and gear
- also, for me I like the low tailgate height (easy to load/ unload)
** and a plus, if I'm too tired to unload, it fits in the garage fully loaded!!!

I like it, almost looks a bit like a cross between a Tundra and a Silverado. I really like the original fox concept from years back though, if my truck bed was a little longer I would definitely make the cutouts in the tailgate just like the first one.

So Cary and the riders drive a Dodge to the track nowadays?
