In March of '22, I got a '21 300S 5.7L.
I came in to get a RAM because they were advertising 0% financing, but none of the trucks that qualified had leather. So as I was leaving, they told me to take a look at the 300. It definitely wasn't something I was in the market for, but after driving it, I really liked it. I didn't put a penny down. They rolled my TT&L into the loan over 6 years at 0%.

It's 3 years later, and I usually trade-in around this time, but I haven't had a single issue with the car. You can't get a 0% interest rate anywhere, so I have seriously considered just paying it off and keeping it. You can't get real V-8s like that anymore, at least not for that price. Plus, it is a really fun car that handles extremely well for it's size.

My point being, Stellantis is not that bad, and there are good deals to be had, but you have to be patient...and good credit helps.

No car or truck is worth 88k.

Consumers need to stop buying them to prove the point.

My 6 year old 35k GMC truck runs great and I will run it until it dies.

The 300, Charger and Challenger were holdovers from before it was even Fiat Chrysler, much less Stellantis. They go all the way back to when it was Damn Near Chrysler (Daimler Chrysler). It is basically what used to be a Mercedes E-class platform with Chrysler engine and licensed ZF trans.

Jeeps are for middle aged white women to collect rubber ducks on the dash. Imagine driving a rubber duck collection container as a man. Embarrassing.

finally starting to lose money on 2015 GMC

bought it at the start of 2019 for like 31k (maybe 34k) and paid it off. KBB value still showed like 30k on it when I last looked not 6 months ago.

I also bought a kia in 2020 for like 18k, crashed it and totaled it in 2022 and they gave me 17k for it

I’m very pleased with the MPGs my gladiator gets. Way better than similar setup tacomas and frontiers I’ve been around. Interstate isn’t great but I have yet to see a gas truck get good real world interstate MPGs. My better half’s 2014 wrangler got the pentastar tick two weeks ago at 240,000 miles first non-routine maintenance item on it.

No issues with leaking oil cooler or the "Pentastar Tick" on the 3.6L?

I have had the former on our 2015 JKUR but not the latter. Currently at 140k.

My next truck will likely be a Raptor but the new Ram RHO is pretty damn awesome looking. I don’t trust it for long term reliability but at this point I don’t trust any of them due to carbon and CAFE restrictions.
