Does anyone out there have any opinions on the Bison Alumasport Bumper Pull horse trailers? I am looking to buy one, but unfortunately I have never known anyone that has one. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

It's comig, should be on the home page this week, my Bison review. Lucked out and traveled from Colorado to Michigan in January without a blizzard. Toured the Bison plant and made it to the Detroit Auto Show, has another name now. Even spent 2 hours in Canada, 1 hour was with the Canadian border patrol searching my car. Gonna have to get a passport if I keep this world traveling up. Can hardly wait till I review horse trailers made in Mexico and China.

Mr. Truck - Why not review some of the Dodge pickups assembled in Mexico? I could sure do a review on mine. Thank goodness it's a company truck, so the company has to worry about all the repair costs.

From what I've read on the TDR, they've moved assembly of a number of the trucks to Indiana. Unfortunately, I've also read articles mentioning a big downturn in quality since then. Ironic, no?

I did have a 2006 2500 Dodge Megacab in December for a while. I'll have that review some day, I was using it for a limo. Had a driver and everything. Fold down the back seat and you can sleep in it. It had a moonroof and DVD, GPS, heated seats. I hid it for as long as I could, but they still came and got it. But then they brought me a 2006 Lincoln LT and it looks cool. Below is me sitting in the Ford F250 Super Chief concept truck at the Detroit Auto Show. It even had an ottman for the back seat like a Rolls Royce. They wouldn't give me the keys. Toby Keith will probably get one to park next to his Tonka truck.

I have a new 2006 CTD HD 2500 4WD Crew cab. It's the Big Horn addition. I think assembly is in KC. Only have about 5500 mi. So far I love this truck. I've been a Ford truck man for 35 years. My first new truck was a 1965 Chevy 6 stick. Only paid $1900 for that truck. This is my first Dodge. From what I see, Dodge has come a long way in fit and finish. But so has Ford, Chevy and GMC.
We have a new American Spirit 3H, GN 8' LQ ordered. I haven't pulled it yet. After the LQ is complete, I'll try to give a mini review on how it pulls with the Dodge. Also will review the trailer.
I have pulled an old Bison Stock trailer with this truck. Can't tell its behind me. The Bison has been a very good trailer. All we have done to it over the years is paint. It's held up like a tank. Hope the new AS holds up as well.
