A couple of years ago I helped out two couples on two different occasions stranded on I10 and one of those couples was on the lower part of a curve which was a very bad place to be stranded on a fast paced highway.
BTW... Those two trucks were RAM 6.7 cummins. I would hope no one, especially a older couple not knowing what to do get in a bad spot. I suppose their peace of mind was to unload those trucks but who knows.
Last time I checked, this thread was supposed to be about someone asking about the 6.7 Powerstroke, not the Cummins. But, I guess it was too much of a temptation to not jump on an opportunity to bash Rams.
Just to add to your statistical record about roadside breakdowns, I have had exactly two family vacations interrupted by transmission failure, leaving us on the side of the road and costing us a lot of time and money. Both vehicles were properly maintained Fords. I got over it, and hopefully I will buy another Ford in the future. I just have never felt a need to blast a brand because of a couple of really bad experiences. But, to each his own.
We understand your disdain for Rams. Believe me, we do.

I was simply stating a some experience with the RAMs to the other poster who stated he feels more comfortable driving around the country in his RAM.... Perhaps not everyone agrees! :R
