If I had a truck that was subject to the buyback I'd probably just fix up the front end with aftermarket parts and call it a day. That would eliminate the issue for a lot less money than trading in and taking on a new set of payments for a new truck.
If I did the buyback, I would buy a Ram again - from personal experience I can tell you the 2014+ are awesome trucks. I shopped all three before I bought earlier this year and for my purposes I concluded that the Ram was really the obvious choice at this point in time. Key words being "for my purposes" - they're all nice trucks with positives and negatives to consider.
Frankly all three manufacturers have had their share of issues over the years that could give anybody pause, which has made the GM/Ford fan posts the last day or two around here rather amusing. I guess you take your shots when you can.
