No, I just expect that if I pay for a truck that MSRP'ed over $64k that I would not have to keep taking it to the dealer all the time for recalls, doesn't have missing bolts/nuts in various places, and doesn't thinner metal parts than its competition. I honestly don't think that is too much to ask and would rather have a reliable truck that is rated to tow 17k than a unreliable "upgraded" one that tows 35k even though I will never tow that much. A 35k tow rating is worthless to me and most light duty truck buyers. Ram should have spent the time and money fixing these errors instead of chasing a "best in class" title.
Has your truck EVER left you along side of the road?
Yes. On a remote freeway towing the camper home from the coast. It was 100 degrees and my wife and daughters had to wait with me for about 3 hours beside the freeway for a tow truck. It was a good time. That water pump was replaced by another bad one, and the new good one just went in a few weeks ago. Shortly after that dealer visit I learned that I need to go back again for another recall.
These are great trucks but they have a serious problem with excessive recalls. If I were buying one of the newest diesels it would be a Duramax.
