Now, I actually like chrome... however, I do like other finishes too. Remember the Alloy models from 2017?

I've been a Mopar guy my entire life, 72 Chrysler products to date. It seems lately Stellentis is trying to do everything it can to get rid of me. The all electric philosophy for Chrysler, the delays between products the ridiculous price increases..... Now no more chrome! I appreciate the health issues, and that is an incredible reason to look at other options, but I really despise the black wheel look. I'm ok with body color bumpers on my truck, but I'll not buy an new truck with black wheels.

I'll keep an open mind until I see what happens....... The direction lately is just, well, not encouraging.

One more reason to look elsewhere for my next cars. Love the bright finished chrome and Ralph, your sadly echoing a policy decision that ignores safety precautions that protects workers. More PC psycho babble for the people. Nonsense.

I hate chrome, so this decision works for me.

When I'm looking for a truck, the "sport appearance" package is a must.

Dull finishes for dull uncompelling cars. Very fitting.
