So I traded my custom ordered 2015 Ram 1500 for a Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ last month, why?

2015 Ram 1500, traded with 32k miles on it, over 10 days at the dealer!
This freaken truck would spend days in the dealer for little electrical issues! Or they would fix it and the CE light would come on the next day. If not for my uncle who gave me pretty much free use of his 2016 BMW 428I convertible I'd be out of a vehicle and pretty annoyed. FCA customer service and dealer service are so sub par its insane.

Another thing that annoyed me is that the body panels were so thin you dented them touching them. My hood had a dent from closing it...

Lastly after 30k it rattled worse than a 300k mile Mercedes, what a POS going down the road, and it leaked water when it rained which was cool.

The truck pissed me off because I special ordered it exactly the way I wanted, it took 8 weeks to build... I fully intended to keep it for 10-15 years if not 20.

Well the Ram didn't work out, I bought it for $32k and sold it to Carmax for $20k two years later needing tires. They sold it with new tires for $24k pretty fast, good luck to the new owner. I had two people I know who wanted to buy it I told them no.


Now on to some good trucks!

I replaced the Ram with a fully loaded Silverado LTZ, every freaken option except back up sensors which I didn't realize until I took delivery. Next time I'll get a High Country.

The Chevy is a ****en amazing truck, I can't get over how good it is.

So the moral of the story is Dodge/Ram sucks, buy a GM.
All manufacturers make their lemons. Sorry to hear that you had to deal with one. The worst lemon I ever dealt with was a Mercedes. I would expect more lemons from GM and Dodge, but we will never have data to know for sure. It is always anecdotal.
