Sales stats prove that Ram is not class leading.

Your right. That's because of the trials and tribulations that the whole corporation has gone through. You know, Fist Cerberus buying Chrysler and then running it in to the ground, and now Fiat is involved.

It has nothing to do with it. Ram/Dodge has been in last place for so long it's because of poor product and dubious quality.

Ask yourself 2 questions:

1. If Ram were so great why have fleets not warmed up to them? In fleets, low TCO and low breakdowns are the name of the game as when that truck is down no $$ is coming in. Uhaul, Budget, etc all rent GM and Ford box trucks. Not a Ram to be found.

2. If Ram were so great why are so many on the used market? For the most part, people get rid of a car/truck when either: 1) costs too much in repairs, 2) can't afford it, and 3) lifestyle changes. You see tons of Rams on used car lots yet fewer Fords and Chevys, and Rams are always cheaper. I wonder why that is?

HUH? A company goes through three owners in almost as many years...customers (normal folks or fleet buyers) don't know if they will be in business tomorrow-have nothing to do with their market position?

Gee.take a business class!
