4000 miles on the Ram, still in warranty or you could easily get an extended warranty.
Then again, Toyota does have a reputation. Not much goes wrong, but if it does, it will be pricey $$...
It's your money. For the price difference, you could easily get an extended warranty on the Toyota as well...
Ram is likely to not be around in a few years, or it will be a Korean subsidiary. Not much stability there.
There is an increasingly better chance that Hyundai will buy RAM, JEEP, and other parts of FCA. However-not sure about your "stability" statement. Hyundai isn't going to stop selling RAM trucks-quite the opposite-Hyundai wants in to the American truck segment in a big way. Very few will stop buying RAM because it falls under Korean ownership-after all it's under Italian now.Hyundai isn't going to buy RAM, etc., and then shut down the assembly lines. So I really don't foresee any "stability issues".
It will not be the Tuscon unibody based Mini Truck for Australia and other countries
TwitterAmerica will have to settle for something similar, but still quite different. Suddenly it seems as if smaller, mid-size segment pickup trucks have made a comeback. Perhaps they have, as the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon twins have demonstrated, and the redesigned Honda Ridgeline has further proven. That said, we know Ford will re-launch an all-new Ranger in 2019, and Nissan is busy at work on the Frontier’s eventual replacement. And then there’s Hyundai, which showed its Santa Cruze truck crossover concept at Detroit in 2015.That concept was a surprise success, and, according to Australia’s Car Advice, will be for North America, and not Australia. Instead, Down Under will receive a proper "4x4 or 4x2 truck." By contrast, the Santa Cruz is car-based, but it’s the true truck that speaks to us. Hyundai Australia COO Scott Grant told Car Advice that "The official word is that ute is developing now, but in the HMC world, six months or next year is a long way out. It’s not this side of 2020." Furthermore, Grant stated there’s no confirmation regarding the vehicle’s configuration either. The only thing Grant admitted to was that Hyundai wants "a Colorado, Ranger, that kind of product."
