I know several people that have them and like them. Only problem some say is brakes but that could be anything. I am thinking Frontier so I can stay with the mid size that I like. My wife wants me to run the DAK into the ground because there is NO resale value to them. She's right but I want to rid myself of this rust bucket soooo bad. Maybe I can find a dealer that will give me a great deal on a trade in spite of the value. Dodge dealers want to give me a great deal on a RAM trade on my DAK but I swore NO more MoPars. I can't afford the hit again.

Agreed. I LOVE the look of the Ram, just don't like Dodge products right now. Hopefully with them getting rid of Diamler they will put out a better product in years to come. I might then think of returning.

Not bashing all the products, just my last truck. But to each their own.

fiat already re-paid the gov and bought their stock shares, they now own more than half of Chrysler. They have the 2013 Dart that will replace the caliber (what a pos that was) that will be based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta which is fitting since the Giulietta was a car that was produced in the 1950s which they resurrected. It's a compact with a much higher quality of fit & finish than the Caliber ever dreamed of having, and no crappy CVT.

I don't want too much of Fiat to become chrysler, but to have a good reliable american car company again would be nice.

Agreed. Need to look at the 2013 Dart that sounds interesting.

I would think it gets a little worse, but tows alot more. It shifts better and rides like a truck should. I'm happy with it stock, for the most part. Only thing I am going to do is get a tuner to remove the WOT restriction. might just get a drop in filter too.

It scoots though. AND IT LOOKS LIKE A DAMN 4X4!!! Why did my Raider have to look like a 2WD?
