Well sure, in 1926 and about 40 years ago when Keith Black died, this may have been a true statement. But turbo built motors are just as reliable as most NA motors in 2024. Not to mention, for their displacement they produce a hell of a lot more power.

I think that has to do with towing, so did you happen to mess with a brake controller or something while driving? Just guessing honestly.

Agreed, no issues at all with the hands free driving feature.

Yeah they have sport mode, and more HP/TQ and lighter than the GW version. So you can imagine how quick they are. It's almost too much, almost :)

I routinely get between 17-18mpg, and I have 7200+ miles

Yup, the 3.0 HO is addictive.

Oh they are probably commercial use.

I'm a fan of the Ram Box, and would have ordered them if they didn't come by default on the smaller bed. In all my trucks, I've always stored things under the rear seat - it is nice to not need to do that anymore.

Here area a couple, tossed in one of my truck next to my Jeep for 'height', the Jeep is on a 2.5" lift and 37" tires.

over the same time, Ford sold over 700K F-series per year totaling of 3.1M in that time span (https://fordauthority.com/fmc/ford-motor-company-sales-numbers/ford-sales-numbers/ford-f-series-sales-numbers/). Not sure where the Ram numbers came from as other sites have them far lower...

All those people were the same ones there for years while the RAM stagnated sales. So, take that for what it is worth.

Did you try just pulling the neg terminal on the battery for 30 seconds.

The HEMI definitely has 'loyalty' from a group, unfortunately they don't buy a lot of the trucks - one of many reasons RAM sales are so low comparatively. Interesting though to see a list of the currently available V8s which are either matched or massively outperformed by a I6TT (save some...

eTorque motors, at least in the 3.6 variety in a Wrangler, do not have a secondary aux. battery for start/stop. Where as non-eTorque 3.6's in a Wrangler do have a secondary aux battery.

Not tracking the eTorque comparison here. eTorque doesn't have start/stop aux batteries, hence the 48v system and a generator. The Pentastar w/o eTorque has a aux battery (at least this was all the case in the Wrangler --- maybe it was different in a Ram?)

Well at least in the pickups, it shows. The Ram has a far nicer interior than Ford (and I was an avid Ford owner).

S&B intakes are outstanding for filtration from my experience, have one on my 2021 Wrangler. It sees its share of non-pavement, and has for nearly 80K miles...always a S&B intake with no issues.

I agree, people's perception ebb and flow with their anecdotal experience. And you will always hear more complaint than praise - either way that is a problem "Ram" has to deal with.

From my own experience when my F350 was nearly totaled by a woman running a yield. The vehicle ended up with over $30k in damage, I received $7200 in depreciated value.

MSRP aside the average Stellantis transaction price is around $57k, as opposed to the industry average of $48k. With perceived quality issues, costing nearly 10K more isn't great.
