Wow! That does not speak well for GM. Frankly, I'm not sure I trust GM products since 2007. It seems that since their bankruptcy and management shake-up things are just not the same. Now with the recent ignition switch recalls and apparent cover up........I just don't have the same confidence in them.

I have to admit that I have actually looking at Dodge Ram 1500's lately.

 

Prospective....

Pick any manufacture, make and model , Google it with the word "problems" at the end and.... you may never want to buy a car again..

they all suck - I just think mine sucks less

at this point I seriously doubt that I will ever buy a Chrysler Dodge Ram or what ever you want to call them - not that they are bad I just don't like them

now I'm getting technical

 

LOL - and the truth hurts

 

sounds like the 1500s were the problem - glad I bought a 2500

we have an 07 1500 that belongs to our State Park Ranger - the trans went out at 100,000 miles

We have an 07 3500 with the 8.1L and the hydramatic trans with about 60k on it. It has towed a snocat here in the mountains for a minimum 50k of those 60k miles. The snocat and trailer weigh 21000 pounds - 27k pounds CGVW - 5000 over the factory rating.

Zero issues with the 1-ton.

The park manager drives a 2011 Dodge 1500 and he really likes it - a lot better than the F150 he had before. The Dodge has had several weird quirks like intermittent no starts, rough idles and erratic shifting.

I don't like driving the Dodge at all and I HATE the shifter with a passion -
