You can't make sh!tty, unreliable vehicles for so many years and then turn it around on a dime. I will absolutely agree that the new rams are the most luxurious of the full size trucks, but I am simply not a believer in the new found reliability. Time will tell.

Tundras - probably the best truck out there in terms of reliability and resale - poor mileage and desperately in need of an engine and body update.

Ford - who wants a 6 cyl in a full sized truck? aluminum everywhere? not for me. Ford has always drug up the rear in terms of interiors. All the buttons are square and you have to read the labels to figure out what is what. zero ergonomics involved in the interior design.

GM/chevy - best interiors (besides the ram) but the new GMC front end is hideous. probably as reliable as the ford and definitely better Than the ram. I do like the nose on the chevy better than the GMC.

Nissan - certainly not the prettiest, but my company has about 25 of them and we spend less on maintenance now than we did with any of the other brands. can't say much else nice about them.

I drive a 2015 because I haven't liked anything that has been put out from any of them since then. Maybe the tundra redesign will be enough to make me switch, but I haven't driven a gas truck in a long long time.

In fairness, Chrysler's pickups were never THAT bad. In many years they were better than Ford (and I think they are right now too). They were always significantly more reliable than the Chrysler built vans and compact cars even in their worst years. Dodge Ram has been a major player in the 3/4 ton truck market since they've been installing Cummins diesel engines in them.

Dodge Ram was also significantly more old-school for decades than its competitors. Their 1993 model truck used technology developed in the late 1960s.
