True. You could sell a bag of ice to an Eskimo easier than you could sell a 2 door truck in this country. There's a reason 2 doors and manual transmissions all went away: nobody was buying them. I'm surprised Ram still offers the Quad Cab actually, because I see one of those on public roads...

Disagree 110% More gas? No. The tiny turbo motors are NOTORIOUS for drinking gas like they are sponsored by OPEC, especially while towing. Less reliable? No. Hemi has been around since we first got to see it in 2002 with very few problems. The valvetrain issues started after FCA began to...

What if those "gas guzzling outdated" powertrains achieve better real world MPG, better driveability, better long term reliability for the customer, and better resale value? Does that justify allowing the consumer to have them? There is not one person with a Hurricane powered Ram 1500 gloating...

So it’s starting to feel like the 5.7L/6.4L engines are not coming back to the cars. They’ll do the supercharged 6.2L for a SRT variant, which will be expensive, and they’ll play around with those as their halo cars until the Viper returns. But guys wanting affordable ICE performance will be...

What really sucks is the curb weight. The prior cars were only 300 lbs. heavier than a decked out Mustang or Camaro and still got labeled as "pigs" and "boats". The new car at 4,800 lbs. rivals a lot of 4x4 pickup trucks on the market. The Ford and GM guys are going to have a field day with...

I don't use 0W20. Ever. In anything. My Hemi engines have never had one single issue and I've had a few of the 5.7s and now a 392. As far as EV goes, I've said for years that when technology allows an EV to be charged to 100% in 5 minutes THEN they will go mainstream. Not until then...

The only positive news was with the Durango. 392 Hemi for $49,995 is a sweet deal and THAT will be the Dodge vehicle of the year for sure. I might even be very tempted by this. Makes no difference really that the Charger Sixpack H.O. for $55k will compete with Mustang GT in the 1/4 mile for...

There's an old adage in business: "You have to spend money to make money." Stellantis leadership never got the memo.

Looks like prices are going up AGAIN. They're apparently adding yet another $100 to the destination costs which are already preposterous and the base price on the volume sellers is going up $250.

Why does this company do any of the stupid things they do? Why is Ram HD still using the same cab and doors from two decades ago?

It does seem like boxy is the new fad to finish the decade on midsize SUVs. Even Honda just released a new Passport that looks straight out of the 1990s. Very boxy, very simple design. And people love it. Jeep should definitely stick with the boxy theme for Compass, Cherokee, and Recon.

It takes this company so long to get a vehicle to market that people literally forget about them. Example: they started talking about the Jeep Recon what, 3 years ago? 4? We saw the pictures. We heard the base stats on it. Then, crickets. Where is it? I've totally forgotten about it...

Things like street takeovers are the reason legislators are eyeballing these cars. It's negative attention. And negative attention directly affects business. Dodge was right to pull the ad. The person who came up with it needs to be reprimanded.

Gen IV Hemi would be like a gift under the tree at Christmas. Please let that happen.

I saw last night that they've sold around 4,500 EV Chargers in total now. The previous model was selling more than that in a single month. I don't normally say I told ya' so... but I called this 3 years ago. Ray Charles could have seen that the Hemi is the cornerstone that all CDJR profits...
