When you go to buy a new truck, you owe it to yourself
to stop . . . look . . . and think— to think about this,
among other things:
How can you possibly know you’re getting the best
value if you sign up for a new truck without first taking
time to stop and look at today’s big, husky-musclea
DODGE? The answer, obviously, is you can’t be sure;
you’re just hoping you’re getting the best buy!
Wouldn’t you be wiser to get at least a few facts about
DODGE? For instance, such easily proved facts as these
—that Dodge trucks give you:
neered Power-Dome V-8 engines deliver more miles per
gallon, full power on regular gas!
2. Maximum payload*. Dodge trucks are built extra rugged
—will haul up to 35% more.
3. lower upkeep cost*. Dodge short-stroke V-8 engines
maintain like-new performance far longer than truck
engines of standard design.
4. Shortest turning. Dodge sharp turning angle and shorter
wheelbase design make parking and wheeling through
traffic much easier, save you both time and effort.
5. Rock-bottom price*. Today, many Dodge models cost
less than any other make!

Dodge give* you more in other ways, too. So, before you
buy. why not get the full Dodge story? Unless you do,
we honestly believe you’ll end up paying more and
getting less.
