Default DODGE WORK TRUCKS

DODGE REALLY BACKED OUT OF THE WORK TRUCK WORLD. I DELIVER BEER AND DRIVE GMC STAKE TRUCKS. ALONG WITH INTERNATIONAL BAY TRUCKS. WHY DOESN'T DODGE MAKE STAKE TRUCKS OR DUMP TRUCKS?

Because for years Chrysler was basically a paycheck-to-paycheck company, then after they started gaining a bit financially they were under the control of Daimler, who already owned Freightliner, Sterling, and Mercedes-Benz Truck so they didn't need a Dodge branded medium duty truck.

Now, Chrysler is back on their own (kinda) but again, they have no money and barely make it as-is let alone invest in an already flooded medium/heavy truck market.
