DutchmenSport,
We're just having a little fun with the Ram crazy's.
In reality, there's a reason both Ford and GM each sell and have sold twice as many of their trucks each and every year since the 1950's and still do today. A few Dodge/Ram owners have always been loudmouths on forums but it hasn't changed their actual percent of the market's yearly sales hardly at all and truck owners know why! Then added in is the FACT that Ram is not American owned or made in America. Chrysler/Ram is owned by Fiat of Italy. All Dodge/Ram HD pickups are made in Mexico and have been for so many years and then imported for sale here. So are all Hemi engines that are installed in the trucks. Dodge/Ram's required/frequency of repair has been the highest of the BIG 3 for as long as they have tracked it (over 30 years) and still is. Eats tires and brakes and lots of suspension issues plus fast rusting and so much more.
The gains or losses posted in the monthly sales for each month are gains or losses in sales for that brand/model compared to their own previous year. What is not posted is the resale values for those same models as they tell a real story and it's your money that you had paid for the vehicle and resale value means something since very few vehicles are one owner until junked other than those in accidents or natural disasters. Some vehicles hold their resale value much higher than others.
Also be aware of the deception tricks Dodge/Ram has used for years and there have been several threads on this and many other forums about it for years now. They will usually lower the tire pressure to below min recommended so the unsuspecting trial run buyer feels the truck rides very good but it a whole other world when you inflate the tire properly. Bring your own tire gauge to all dealers you visit and drive one of their trucks so you know it's apples to apples.
I for one don't give two hoots what you buy but at least you should be given the truths and the long compiled facts. Truth be told! After all, in the end, it's your money spent and your decision totally.
