Edmunds - Long-Term Test

[Edwards]

Edmunds has purchased a nicely loaded 2019 Ram 1500 as a long-term test vehicle. Article below but this will be good to get some press documentation of all the strengths and any potential issues that pop up over time, assuming that Ram pays more attention to Edmunds than little ol' us.

I think you might be surprised...

I look forward to seeing how the truck does for them.

Any details or examples you can divulge? I'd love to know.

If this group is so helpful, could we get a volunteer to be an official liason with Ram for a formal support/test group? I'm thinking like a beta test group in the IT world but wouldn't cost Ram anything since we paid for them. Someone to funnel common problems to Ram and vice-versa?

We were just at the media launch event for eTorque and will have articles up tomorrow.

Ram is watching and learning from the forums, which is one reason why improvements and changes have been made as time goes on. Basically what you're hoping for is already being done, they are able to see trends based on many members trucks. Edmunds is a huge site and its great that they are doing a long term test. Eventually I'll be buying one and it will be a "long term test truck as well." I also talk to guys from Ram almost daily.

All I'm saying is Ram will learn a lot more from multiple trucks owned by everyone here as opposed to one single truck. Which I believe is what you were hoping for, just know it's already happening.

Also I posted this in another thread, but this went out to plant employees earlier this week.

Well, if you have their ear or they are watching here.. I wish they'd formally announce if they will have a ram box with the 6'4" bed available this fall... I really wanted the longer bed, but the ramboxes won out. If I could get both I'd rather do so.... and since my vehicle isn't even in D1 yet I might even be able to update the order (and go to the back of the line). I know there is the rumor, but given my need for a replacement vehicle before the snow flies up here I can only wait so long. Thanks Jared B for all you do for us!
