I edited my above post for clarity. Maybe you can segregate the company from the product but many do not. Most consumers want stability in the business they make purchases from. Particularly when they are big ticket items.
I can certainly understand that. And if it were a close call in other respects, it might sway my decision.
Ultimately, I will own this vehicle long beyond Ram's (or Ford's, or Chevy's) responsibility for warranty work. Whether any manufacturer succeeds long term has limited bearing on the truck I own and drive today. So I chose the truck I'd prefer to be stuck with for 10 years, rather than where the manufacturer will be in 5.
The brand bashing on rv.net has turned into a team sport (and I've played along, to be fair) rather than legitimate discussion. It's tiresome. I should be able to rise above it, but sometimes the insults raise my hackles, and I give in.
I agree. I do it also but in this case it was not meant that way.
