Treating me decently when a known problem rears its ugly head, rather than fixing said problem before I have to deal with it doesn't make me brand loyal, it makes me look for alternatives. I have no real favorites when it comes to trucks, I own a Ford and a Dodge.
Might want to take up walking as they all have known failure points.
When a company has had problems with a part that causes such devastating and expensive problems for 7 years and the customers are worried and not sure if the company will back their product is crazy. If I was scared that Ram was not going to back my truck I would be shopping right now for another brand. I definitely would not buy from them again and I definitely would not step down in capabilities to stay with them. People can make fun of my recalls but at least I don't have to worry if they are going to back their product.
Then I hope you don't have to deal with fuel contamination because Ram, GM and Ford techs all look for signs of contamination before any warranty work is approved plain and simple. If your fuel system gets a taste of water, rust will follow and a complete fuel system is in your cards.
As for the problems they're not widespread like you and others portray and most people don't live in fear including myself.
fill location. (under the hood) But I have NEVER read of an account where a GM owner mistakenly put DEF in the diesel tank... Perhaps GM knows a thing or two about the likely hood of people making a mistake.
I do not know about the Rams, but the Ford forums have had MANY reports from people that did just that.
Is that why GM moved it for the next model?

I have not personally seen a 2017/2018, but read in several publications that the tank was in the same place... And some said even more obnoxious that before... So the fill would pretty much have to be the same. I suppose it could be anoter door on the passenger side, but it could not share the same door as the diesel fill which is on the driver side.
The Fords DEF and Diesel share the same door.
