After driving Toyotas (14 and 03 Tundra) I couldn't justify getting a new one. Between the problems with the engine, cheap plastic interiors and price it wasn't worth it. I've been pretty satisfied with my 20 Wrangler so I decided to try a RAM.
Picked up a 26 RAM 1500 Rebel yesterday.
Reason I went with a RAM over the others:
Hurricane Engine - New tech. Great specifications. Engine won't grenade itself like Toyota and GM/Chevy
Nicest Interiors
10/100 Powertrain Warranty
Best bang for the money. Between RAM incentives/rebates and the dealer willing to drop price the deals are out there. Wasn't to difficult to take a $68k sticker and walk out the door for $55k.
Good dealer. The dealer where I got my 20 Wrangler has been great. They were more than willing to work with me to sell me a RAM. In fact I've been listening to them for several years asking me when I was going to get rid of my Tundra and get a "real truck".
That said I wasn't going to buy it without getting the best deal I could on a factory 10/100 extended warranty. Just too much electronics that can go bad. Last year I had some electrical problems in my Wrangler and in 8 weeks it was in the shop 4 or 5 times. Both side mirrors, sensors in the rear bumper, some modules and a chunk of wiring harness for the driver's door. If I didn't have an extended warranty with $100 deductible that would have cost me a lot of cash.
We'll see how it works out.
