Since you brought up your 16 year old '99 model ancient technology Dodge problems as your reasons for quality concerns on a new Ram I would reiterate its a perfect example of unfounded concerns on your part.
Hell I had a ancient technology one ton DRW Ford truck in commercial service that gave me nothing but problems from the git-go but I'm wise enough to realize the new gen one ton DRW Ford is a world apart from those old trucks.
Your the one guiding your threads direction with your comments. You asked for advice in your 1st post.
You can expect others opinions on your comments.
IMO you'll like any of the new gen Ram, GM or Ford trucks over any '99 brand truck.
