Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a newer (2015) ram 1500 and my father seems to believe that all dodge products are pieces of junk. I've never really heard of any major issues from them but we've been with gm our whole lives and he is hesitant to switch up- anyone here have any reccomendations of which way to go?
There is a large group of people out there that have never owned them and say the tranny will go out in a few months.
The Shop
We give him crap all the time for driving that junk.. Don't know why anyone would buy one. And I doubt a 2015 is any better.
If you do buy it I hope your a good mechanic.
You can insert any truck brand name and someone will say they had to get ball joints and tie rod ends every 10k.
I traded in my 2004 with almost 200,000 miles on it and it didn't have rust other than small bubbles starting on the passenger side front door. That is after 13 years and 8 of those years in New England winters with salted roads.
I just got my wife a new GMC yukon and that is a very unimpressive truck for what I payed for it. No more GM's..........very cheaply built in my opinion.
I was rear ended (by my own kid ) I thought fhe dodge was a piece of shit compared to my ford . It just seemed cheaply made .
I think Dodge offers the most truck for the money right now and that is coming from a Ford lifer
Pit Row
As for newer models, we have a 2018 Lone Star and a 2019 Limited right now. Would not trade them for any other makes.
My neighbor has a 2019 f150 XLT with the 3.5 and I'd take mine all day long. And I was a Ford guy forever.
