That I haven't been able to drive it in 1 year.

Some of the specific engineering.-- Front wheel bolts are hard to change out.
The design of the nut used for the torsion bars - the bevel isn't always good enough to keep it in place.
The 42RE transmission isn't the strongest. (That I didn't get a manual trans...)
Front ends, like most Dodge's, don't seem to be the strongest.
Gas mileage is lack-luster.

And for the others who want bigger cup holders. Sorry the cup holder is dirty. And these cups are not the biggest I can fit.

the things i hate about it:

bolt pattern for wheels
lack of aftermarket support
hard to find used parts

but all these things i kinda like about it, it makes it more rare in my area and less cookie cutter....mileage could be better, but heck i am driving a 4x4 truck....
