I'll buy a Chevy or a Ford. Don't make much difference to me as long as it gets me there and back without a side trip to the dealer. Of all the vehicles I've owned through the years the worst was a MOPAR. Of all the vehicles I've owned under warranty I've had one repair on a Chevy. The cruise went out at about 150 miles. Was a 30 min fix while I waited. Last 3 Fords I've owned all went between 212000 and 245000 miles and were still a daily driver when traded. Currently on a Chevy Suburban with 285000. Had to replace the tranny at 258000. FIL drove a Ford car (lincoln town car) 380000 without major repair when he finally parked it. Rick [Reply]   [No Email]

I think you will really like it even if you've had bad experiences. [Reply]  [No Email]

My current truck is on it's last legs. But with the price of a new one I'm going used. Dodge/Fiat/Ram isn't even being considered. And yea, I'd be disappointed, in myself to start with for buying a FIAT and for buying into the hype. If someone gave me a Fiat Ram I'd drive it....to the nearest dealer and trade it on a truck I could trust. I'm in the same boat with tractors. I have a couple of Fords and IH's. If I were buying new none of my money would be going to FIAT. I'd be trying to keep as much of my money in the US as possible. Rick [Reply]  [No Email]

Heck my Suburban pulls livestock and other trailers, hay wagons, hauls sacks of feed and seed. 285000 miles, tranny at 258000, alternator and starter at about 265000. You going to tell me a RAM is more dependable than that? LOL one guy I know who got a FIAT RAM diesel about 8 months ago is joking about how he just schedules an appointment with the dealer once a month for his monthly warranty repair. Nothing major but he's had it in about 6 times so far and that truck never gets used hard or leaves the pavement. Sure sounds like a typical FIAT to me. Nope I want something that will start and drive when I need it to. So I'm looking for a Ford or Chevy gasser. Don't want the diesel up here. Too many cold weather issues when it's below zero.

Even if they own part, won"t be on the truck, and if the truck doesn"t say it, it isn"t one. [Reply]  [No Email]
