Ordered a 2022 Ram 2500

[Hay Dude]

Sounds like a gender issue to me. Maybe you need professional help.

Most short bed trucks I see are weenie half ton anyway and it seems that all have crew (4 door cabs) too. You need a 4 door short bed truck, buy an SUV instead.

Minimum truck I require is a 1 ton.

I look at the weenie trucks as a status symbol more than anything else. Like the suburbanite that has to have a diesel tractor to mow his lawn.

I guess if you can float it, all good. me. I haul with mine, usually a tandem axle gooseneck and it's usually overloaded too.

No weenie truck with a weenie motor is gonna haul around a tandem axle GN very long without puking.

I would never buy a Dodge 1500 or 2500 for that matter. Dodge went to inboard mounted coils on those trucks and coils are about ride quality, not cargo. Coils belong on a Impala, not a truck. If I was to ever buy a Dodge, would have to be a 1 ton with leaf springs put back and a Cummins diesel under the hood.

I don't do weenie motors well and I certainly don't do clutch packed 8 and 10 speed slush boxes either. Might work for a while but when the warranty has expired and you need to fix one, better be hitting up your retirement savings because they are not a cheap date to repair.

Speaking of Weenie tractors, it aint the truck, its the man driving it.
Its not anything about the size of what you drive.
Seen a few truckers get yanked out and beat up by just a ordinary guy driving a car.

I wouldn't buy a Dodge either, they haven't been made for several years.

Now I am really CORN FUSED what should I do.. Am I going to hell for owning both?

No, it makes you smart. You arent brand loyal and you bought the BEST DEAL you could find. Like I have said over & over, they all make nice vehicles. I just prefer Ram for a combination of engine, cab size and towing capability.
Next guy might like Chevy and have solid reasons, too.

Just because you change the name the plants, production tooling and employees remain the same. So it's a Ram or a Pugeot or whatever. Still a Dodge to me.

Then why do you keep bragging about your trucks?

I didnt know talking about, posting a picture, or discussing a Ram in a Ram thread was bragging?

I DO know trashing Ram/Dodge as you have is against the rules and talking about Ford being better is trolling, but Youll have to deal with that

In as much as I retired from one of FCA's major materials suppliers (steel) after 28 years, I know pretty well what is under the sheet metal and I will tell you one thing and that is FCA and I presume now Stellantis-Pugeot has no QC to speak of. They bought whatever was the cheapest when I worked there. Price was everything. Quality meant little. For me it's a Ford car (or truck) or no car (or truck).

We can discuss this forever, really don't care to. You buy what you want, I'll do the same.

End of comments for me.

5030 PLEASE quit lying per your quote "end of comments for me"but here you are.Mrs.Oldsmobile would not be very proud of your actions.

Let’s see your ”overloaded“ tandem axle gooseneck.

“ Slush boxes” ? E4OD? 4R100?

With any Dodge get the extended warranty for certain

Have you actually read the warranty that comes with Ram versus the others?
Ram‘s diesel truck warranty is longer-5yrs/100,000 miles on the engine and the rest of the powertrain.
Fords diesel truck warranty is 5yrs/100,000 miles on the engine only. Powertrain is only 60,000 miles.

You get 40,000 more miles of coverage on the powertrain behind the engine.

IMO, it shows they have more faith in their trucks lasting longer without repairs than their competitors.

F = fix
o = or
r = repair
d = daily

F = found
o = on
r = road
d = dead

Of all the Dodge cars & trucks I have owned
and put many many miles on them these are
the problems that I have had!
Dodge 2500 diesel 2003 truck diesel replaced transmission 144,000. miles pulling pump jacks
on a daily basis. Our 1977 Dodge 1/2 ton pickup
almost went broke as I replaced a resistor block
on the fire wall cost couple dollars it would go out
exactly in one year so had an extra attached to
the fire wall so very easy to replace. And it only
took from 1966 to 2020 for all the high dollar
replacements over than oil, filters, plugs and grease.
Replaced the transmission cost $2656.00 complete.

F = forget
O = out
