My 6th Gen wish list
Just in case FCA is listening,
Number your wishes sequentially after the last post - Be realistic - and note the numbers of pervious posts that you would want. On Valentine’s Day, we can add’em up and see what the top ten wishes are...
Oh, and while we’re on the subject: Higher standards for dealer Service Managers (think Mercedes or Lexus-level training; no vehicle I’ve ever owned has come with such poor quality Dealer Service Managers)
Just in case FCA is listening,
- 2” less front overhang, 1.5” less rear seat legroom, 1.5” longer overall, thus a 6’0” crew cab bed (those inches mean a lot - FCA, think competitive advantage)
- Twin turbo or supercharged straight six - 4.0L, 400 HP, 400 ft/lbs - think “modern Hemi”
- A “Custom” air suspension mode, where the truck goes into Normal, and gives you a customizable front and rear adjustment +/- 20mm. I’d run F+0, R-15.
- An MFT you don’t have to slam ( aim high, think Cadillac self-close doors, that do the last 2 inches automatically)
- Plug in hybrid option - I wanna drive 40mi (mixed) on electric. Not pure electric, still need combustion for long distance towing. Also should have a Tow mode where the electric assists at low speeds and up hills, and a Perf mode, where the 100-150hp electric adds to engine power.
- True 1500 - 1500 # payload for loaded Laramie and typical Limiteds (that’s like +200)
- Big rear window option - so long stuff can pass thru (hate the fact that my station wagon can carry longer stuff than my pickup - maybe a fold-down front seat, like the Swedes have?. Or even better, an Avalanche option, where the whole rear window folds up and in...)
- Torsen rear diff option
- Three section rear seat with center cooler option (I can live w/o the rear seat sliding)
- Quad cab rear seatback that’s not so straight up and hard
