Sorry, I am missing something here. Are you saying 29% of Dodge Ram 3500s from that year (or similar) were black, had a single axle, chrome running boards, chrome rims AND running lights? Or are you saying that 29% had the options discussed?
Either way, that is less than one third with the same features.
A good buddy of mine owns a Chrysler dealership, and I buy my vehicles from him. We just bought my wife's Journey Blacktop from him. I'll check in with him and see about those numbers.
I won't get into semantics about colours of the truck. The trucks in those pictures Oreck posted look IDENTICAL and black. The only colours even remotely close to black in the dark would be the electric or pearl blues. I have no idea what the others colours you refer to could be....
It's a reach. Sure, it COULD be another black (or dark blue) Dodge single axel with chrome running boards, chrome rims and running lights (in your own words, a 29% chance) happening to be on the same remote road, on the same night at the same time, just as TB is being kidnapped and murdered on a test drive in an exact same truck?
What would you say the odds of that are? 90 unlikely? 95? 99?
Now what are the odds MS, a thief, a ****, a drug addict and an alleged murderer, is telling the truth about what happened?
I am being so adamant about this because those trucks don't look similar. They look spot-on identical.
