Disappointed with 2019

[TXGREEK]

Everyone is entitled to their own decisions. Besides, that’s how stories are made then put on these forums. My last two Rams were the biggest pc of [emoji90] ever in my car buying history, they just completely fall apart, literally and have the worst crash test of the three.

Oh for sure, to each their own! I would never buy a Chrysler product though

Please tell me you will overlook the aesthetics for the current model versus switching to a rattle trap. Everyone I know that has owned a recent ram, has had nothing but problems with them. Theres a reason you get a high country esk ram for the price of a WT.

whens the last time you looked at the ram pricing?  Bc you are way off there.  But it's a lot easier for Ram to work out a rattle than to get around the crap interior GM gave us.

Crap interior? Dramatic much?  

 

Curious if you like the k2xx interior.

quiet fitting.  Its garbage compared to ram and ford.  

[shift_grind]

Its nicer than Fords for sure and a slight upgrade over yours.  

 

I'd recommend sitting in a Ford.  It's not good.  

[Jsheldrake]

Honestly, if it weren't for how atrocious tundras were on fuel, I would have shopped one of those. For now, my bowtie will do. It functions as it should. I just wish gm would have out the 3.6 twin turbo I to a truck to compete with the 3.5 in the Ford. That caddy motor is a beast.

I can’t wait to here the exhaust noises coming out of trucks with skip fire. It’s going to be hilarious. The they I see out of it is with baffled mufflers, increased exhaust flow (V8) opening baffles to open exhaust.

I feel like a inline 6 version of the new 2.7l would be the way to go.  I think that would make a really nice setup from waht we know about the 2.7.  Should be cheaper than the 3.6 too.

The high country is a let down for sure, but the mid level to LTZ trucks are very nice.  

 

Why they thought spray painting some trim copper was the Pinnacle of truck luxury is beyond me.  I find the F150 interior to be very cheap and ugly, especially with the oversized bro shifter on the "floor". 

 

Ram has a very nice interior though, ironically you have to keep it Laramie and lower as it gets very gaudy in the Limited and Rebel trims.

I’ve got a Tundra with a 5.7L.  It gets a consistent 15.5 - 16mpg with 85% of that in town driving.  My 2014 Silverado got 17 and spent 85% of the time in the shop getting fixed, lol.  I’ll take the 1mpg hit.

I can’t see driving around with TRD on my truck. Here in Pittsburgh that is pronounced TURD. Just saying.   ?

From JD Power and Associates Website:

 

Fuel Economy

Not only does the Tundra fall short in terms of towing and hauling, it gets abysmal gas mileage. According to the EPA, the test truck should have returned 15 mpg in combined driving. On the test loop, it got 13.8 mpg, and after a week of driving had mustered no more than 13.5 mpg.

[Brianibew]

I’ve got real world experience owning both trucks.  So I know my driving habits haven’t changed and it’s literally 1mpg difference between them both.
