The one thing that I've never understood is why the clock/radio display is almost always mounted in the dash such that when you are holding the wheel properly, you can't read it because your wrist is in the way. Put it higher, or put it lower. Just don't put it there.

Probably because they've got a GVWR of about 6500 lbs and a GCWR of nearly 10,000 lbs. For comparison, the Colorado & Canyon (also with 6 lug wheels) max out at 5300 and a little over 10,000.

But while on the subject of 6 lug wheels, I am curious as to why the SRT Viper has 6 lug wheels. Just noticed that the other day when reading a review of it.
