LOL, the RAMs are out on the highway doing real work, and seldom come in the pits, so they were not available to be counted.
That or something is really fishy!- 200,000 miles is a walk in the park for the Ford 7.3L.. ;)

How would they include the repair record on every vehicle? There is no central repository of that info, it's not like wreck damage which is compiled by the insurance companies but only for repairs that they pay for.
Exactly. That's why this "report" isn't worth the electrons it's printed on. :)
These people might be like my friend that has a diesel with over 200K on it and needed several head gaskets, Fuel driver, coolers, injectors, many turbo cleanings. I won't say what engine this was. :W
Give me enough money and I can keep any vehicle going for as long as you want.
LOL I think I would have a pretty good stab at guessing what engine you are referring to. :Bagesilaus wrote:

Interesting. I'm sure we'll hear from the Ram guys soon that the info is bogus and has no merit.:D
:B Called it.- Don't forget that 77.3 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

When you sell twice as many I would think your odds are better :W
You might think that but not necessarily true. Ram sells twice as many trucks as the Toyota Tacoma and the Tacoma still came in tenth.

I think there is something seriously wrong with this report, and the authors should have noticed out of the gate. What is the #1 selling truck model it is F150, it is NOT on the list either!!!
Seeing how the report is based on percentage of vehicles that have been report with over 200,000. The one with the largest number sold new should have the advantage.- We have a '99 Ford F250 crew cab with a 7.3 with 231,000 miles,
We also have a Chevy Tahoe 4x4 with a 5.4 that has 197,000 miles on it.Actual repairs have been minimal for both, but I'm anal about maintanence. My BIL tells everyone that he wouldn't be afraid to jump in either one of our vehicles and go anywhere he decided to.
