I understand customers' complaints. This truck isn't just a workhorse anymore. It's being used as a luxury car - lifestyle, status -- and can be $70,000-plus with progressive technology. The issue might not have changed in the past few years, but the truck has. I don't think this would be as easily dismissed in a $70,000 Mercedes or Audi.

That suspension hardware looks nasty already. Imagine when a poor peasant like myself picks one up used in 6-8years and actually has to work on it. Bolts be snappin’

Agree, not to mention the diff is pretty visible on a truck

And people say rams rust out...

They do lol I remember selling a 17 ram with rust on cab not too long ago. I appraised a 17 chebby impala with 2 spots of rust on the door. Like damn that’s quick and both vehicles had low miles. This is on the body not the chassis or diff. The manufacturer should do a better job of coating these vehicles since everything is so expensive.

Lol you’re kidding right? Every time there is something even whispered about a Ford, your vagina starts throbbing and you just have to comment about how much Ford sucks!
I say nothing to you and yet here you are quoting my post :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:. Maybe you missed it but this thread about Fords sucking and you feel the need to be a blue oval Karen. K.
