How Crazy Am I? Ram 1500 vs F-150

[Paul Neubauer]

What does the passenger screen do?

Nothing useful in my opinion but it is part of the package.

It's the DTC Diagnostics decoder for the passenger to tell the driver if it's serious enough to pull over, or if it can wait until you get to your destination. Very clever. ?

You have to pay extra for that with a Ford.

I wouldn't touch a Dodge/Chrysler product with a ten foot pole after my experiences with them in the past, bit to each their own.

I've been around 3 and they were all buggy, non reliable trash heaps. No thank you.

You should borrow my F-150 lemon for a day.

I'll still take it before any Dodge.

I wouldn't wish this misery on anybody! I hope this truck somehow gets destroyed so nobody else ever has to experience it.

Looking like 2025 ram is getting the 5.7 hemi back in it. Announcement should come next month and they're fast tracking production to have it rolling off the line by May per credible rumors. That's a crazy fast reversal if it pans out.

Manufacturers are doing things to increase mpg by even trivial amounts to avoid CAFE fines. Ram has the etorque assist motors on their engines and when they fail they are not covered by the warranty. I decided against a Ram for this reason.

Got the dealership to send me a vehicle history report that shows the totals of all the parts and endless labor that has been thrown at my POS F-150 and it is just shy of $28,000! This doesn't include the 250+ days that Ford has been paying for service loaners and a rental in the beginning. I am done with this truck and Ford as a whole and have decided to start looking for a lawyer to collect damages. The truck can't be fixed and Ford has refused to take it back.

What are you suing for exactly? Was not most of that cost, if not all, on warranty?

Because the truck is still broken and sitting at a dealership along with the fact that I have been paying on a premium truck that I never have and driving low grade service loaners instead. Trade in value on this truck is going to take a severe hit also due to the very lengthy carfax report associated with it.

What are you hoping to recover money wise- amount?

At the least, I would expect my payments and insurance paid back that I have been required to pay for the now 286 days that my truck has been sitting at the dealership. Ideally, Ford has to buy it back because their engineering team can't figure out what is wrong with it and it has been back for the same repair 8 times now.
