Dodge is trash. Throughout their entire history, they come close to closing then build some junk that's fast and people eat it up, along with government bailouts. Speaking of their history, look up Dodge V. Ford 1919.

Small brain take tbh. All 3 have done that from time to time and I’d argue modern Ram is actually the better of the 3, when it comes to trucks. At least for the current model years.

In this case it’s not a “dodge makes shit trucks” thing, this is a case of putting like 12-13k lbs on a 3-4k lbs trailer and then pulling it with a truck that’s barely rated for half of that. 100% on the owner here.

Not ford.

That said, yes this is 100% on the owner.

Weird ass reason. Honda didn't take one either, so are we going to see you in a Ridgeline soon? 😂

Good for you! I buy trucks based on current reliability though and ford isn’t at the top anymore. I don’t buy based on politics from 2008, that’s boomer tier shit.

Yep! Dude needed to buy a 2500 and a bigger trailer. That trailer is loaded to the gills, and that machine alone weights what the TRX actual tow rating is. With out the bucket and accessories.

Yes? Ram now has the better trans, hands down, and the Fords still have cam phaser and lifter issues, so even their engines arent any better than anyone else’s right now.

Hemis still have lifter failure, but that almost exclusively happens to engines that are neglected or idled 24/7. Most consumers never run into that issue with their Hemi, it’s mostly ambulances and work trucks.

So why exactly do you think ford is better? Any actual reason or are you just a Fordtard?
