FCA R&D Initiative phone call

[taff]

I did a quick search but couldn't find this mentioned anywhere. Anyone else had a call from Moore Pace (I think) about taking part in an initiative to track how the truck performs in real world conditions? A supposedly select/small group is being asked to take part. Doesn't seem to matter whether you lease or buy.

Lasts for 2 years and you have to fill in a survey each month. Apparently you get a straight $600 for taking part and you get entered into a draw each month for Amazon vouchers as long as you complete the survey. It does require that you have a data logger and GPS installed in the truck, which pretty much puts me off the idea. Call me paranoid but I don't want any potential warranty claims refused just because of something that got recorded on the data logger!

I haven’t heard of this. Scam??

Aren't all reasonably new vehicles today "data loggers" anyway? They all keep track of a multitude of events and operating conditions in the vehicle's life. If I was made that offer by FCA, I'd take it, as long as it was legitimate, i.e. it is truly about vehicle-use feedback for design purposes.
