Accepting its shortcomings for the benefits of no cylinder shutoff, a transmission that doesn't break, and brakes all the size of 3/4 tons.

The reason I won't buy dodge is solely based on electrical gremlins

I own a 5.0 F150 and can cruise at 1700rpm at 21 mpg all day long hwy miles... along with the lariat kit... easily the most comfortable driving vehicle for long haul

191k miles this morning. Most of them at 90+ or redlining to get there.


How do you get away with regularly driving 90+?

And why?

is not bumper-to-bumper. It covers the engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials, and axles of the vehicle.

I bet that $2k repair bill to replace the $100 oil thermostat will continue to not be covered due to a thermostat being an “accessory” not part of the engine.

It is amazing how just putting some decent ATs on them makes them look a lot better.

Debating on getting a second gen tundra to keep mileage off my current truck.

I loved my 1st gen Titan, that thing would run like a scolded dog. Get you a solid 8 miles a gallon too. I was in college when I had that truck and gas jumped up to like $4 at one point when Bush was president. Man the struggle was real

I have never understood how they got so many things right: v8, column shift, 0 grav seats, granny first, massive brakes...

And then got so many things wrong: ugly as sin raked forward, outdated infotainment, detuned to maybe 30% power until 30 mph.

The new Ram CEO is making certified ‘Baw’ type moves.

I like him so far. Its refreshing. Your company has an identity established over the past 60 years and youre going to roll with it? In 2025? How revolutionary!

That’s the best looking Titan I’ve ever seen. It’s the tires.

The tires don't hurt, but leveling the truck is really what stops it from looking like an angry carp

In 2007, Dodge offered a lifetime powertrain warranty, and I bought one.....then it flooded in 2016....they only offered it for like an 18 month period.

They are desperate. Their sales suck. GM and Ford are eating their lunch.

This is not s good sign. it's like mortgaging the house to pay for groceries.

Bribing the new buyers with borrowed money from the future owners.

In my 77 years i have watched auto companies get in money trouble and it's one of their first moves.

It seems like good idea to buy a new truck with a 100K warranty but if the company is financially weak you don't know if they will be there to pay those warranty claims..
