The market is where I would expect it to be. Chev has been behind the ball for years now. The motors they offer are subpar on power output and the interiors are very cheaply designed and made. The lack of technology for the driver interface until very recently has been horrible too. Ram was always 3rd among the big 3 however they will certainly continue to gain market share with their current trends. They make a great truck and are priced exteremely well along with the fact that the incentives they offer no other manufacturer can touch. Heck I bought my Ram last year new for 17k off the sticker price. You will never see that from the other 2.

Just ignore him. He is butt hurt over something and is posting on his hate at every chance he can get. Maybe get the mods to change his name to Negative Nancy.
One thing about RAM, they greatly improved their crash protection and are just as good as the F150 now. That was one of the reasons I held off from trying Ram, the other were first year blues, been there, done that, don't wish to repeat it. Just wait for the 2020 model, rumor has it that it will blow Ram away. Will see.

I wouldn't be afraid to buy a Ram. Frankly I think all the domestic trucks have rather crappy quality, unfortunately. If Toyota could produce a modern truck and sell them with the same incentives, sky would be the limit for them.

Like grinding IWEs and rattling engines and warped dashboards and frozen doorlocks and leaking sunroofs and clunky transmissions? Do the Ram forums have a lemon law thread with 400 posts?

No knock on Ford, I drive one, like it. I drove Ram's, like them. Not a fan of Chev's but that's based on the repair percentages I see in my shop.

Not sure about that, I had at least 7 recalls on my Ram
#27
Percentage wise though, how many fords to rams are sold? With more Ford being sold, there is going to be a higher number of complaints. Time will tell on if Ram has improved. Like Ford, many of the issues stem from the dealerships themselves than the company, and from what I have read both brands have their company CSR issues.
