I stopped buying North American made vehicles in the early 90s.
Started buying Nissan and Lexus...I was amazed (serious) at how well these vehicles were built and how little repairs I had (have) to do.
Needed a truck to tow haul - bought a fully equipped Ford. I still like the truck. Rides nice, lots of room and runs great when its running!
But these manufacturers still build sub quality vehicles with a neglect on addressing and fixing the issues at hand.
Its like year after year - every new year model we hear the same stories over and over about the same problems.

2019 Ram Limited
I just traded my 16 Platinum for a 19 Ram Limited. My truck wasn't bad overall, but it only had 15k miles on it and I was tired of the IWE issues along with the persistent audio off problem. The interior and paint quality crushes my old truck, but time will tell how it holds up over time.

^^ Its not a pro Ram thing...for me its more of a wish that Ford and Ram and GM and whoever else will start building trucks with better quality parts, and workmanship!
And.......when the problems persist, they should address it.

I'm not sure why anyone would keep driving a cr@ppy brand x. Go get a brand y, and hope for a better experience. Posting about it here does nothing but rile the fan-boys, which is probably the intent of the post in the first place.
Your time & efforts would be better served getting your own truck situation resolved, vs wasting time here telling everyone about it. Just my $.02.

Of course they all have issues! Nobody has claimed otherwise. It is possible to have a civil discusion about the merits of each though. This poor guy though.

Have you guys read some of the issues with the 2019 RAM 1500?? Holy crap...No one should ever complain about Ford F150 ever again. I think RAM takes the cake when it comes to poor quality.
examples....new screen/audio system lockup and freeze. Erratic functionality, deletion of memory. The best one is one side of the trim around windows is chrome, the other side is in black. We're talking about the same truck. One side of the truck is different from the other....talk about "quality" lol....I feel sorry for the owner. Do a search on youtube.
