Hi y'all. Lifetime GM, just totally sick of the brand(and 20yr+ employee!!) and it looks like my next truck will be a 2022 3500 limited mega cab 6.7.
Currently driving a 2017 Silverado CC LTZ with a tuned and bolt on 6.2 gas. Was all set to buy a 22 platinum SD and then saw a night edition Ram and was hooked!
The plan is/was a complete tune and delete but may wait to see what 23 brings. There are a few things I was hoping to see for the new 22 but looks like none of those are happening. Normally keep my vehicles for a long time but wanted to tune after a few k miles just to help the truck breathe like it's supposed to. Mostly it will just be a daily truck, but hoping to buy a skidsteer for the property and then get a dump trailer and maybe do some side work to justify the cost.
I called Mark Dodge after seeing how happy everyone on here was with her(about 11hrs frome me), but wasn't able to reach her. The person that answered sort of did a long pause when I asked for her and then after I was transferred I got I believe Aaron's voicemail. I hung up and looked on their website and found no employee named Sandi...
Anyways, just thought I would say hi and hopefully can learn some things and maybe contribute in some way.
Thanks and God bless
Derek
 
Also came over from Gm 1500hds and 2500hds all 6.0 . Also worked at a gm dealership previously. Went to the dealership I used to work at with full intentions of ordering an AT4 6.6l gas. Long story short the dealership (salesman) really didn't seem to have any interest in selling me a vehicle so I went down the street and test drove a 2020 3500 6.7L and really liked it so......I bought it lol. I have zero regrets and cant wait to pull the 5er with it.
 
I was once a GM guy also, I still have my 2004 GMC 2500HD 1 owner 6.6L Dmax with 55k miles, just a garage queen now that I have fallen for the 2016 RAM Limited DRW 6.7.

I dumped GM 10 plus years ago after fighting with them for a year, then getting a lemon lawyer to make them take my car back. Swore I'd never buy another GM product after owning them since 1977.

Every business or company has someone that dislikes them. Automakers are no exception.

I had owned Chevy 15/1500 previously. Went with RAM for the Cummins.
 
Not necessarily ex-any brand, just new to FCA.
Wife is working @ a FCA dealership, so we have a 21 Cherokee Trailhawk, and now a RAM 2500 6.4 BH Patriot Blue/night ed. We've had it a week and so far so good :)
Traded out 07 Silverado 1500 which was a great truck. We 're keeping our F250 Superduty 6.7 with 332000 miles as it's a very hard worker and dependable (stock).
 
RV, understand your comment and agree. Just I had such a bad experience with GM and a new car that it left a really bad taste in my mouth, so no more GM for me.
And the problem I had was a known problem with their engines that they refused to acknowledge or fix.
I actually had to call a private number I got to corporate GM to try and get things resolved, still was a no go. Then on top of it all, after returning the car under the lemon law, they basically tried to bribe me to stay with incentives on a new car. Told them even if they gave it to me for free, I'd burn it to the ground before taking it. Yea, it was that bad of a situation.

I've owned a lot of brands over the years, just never a MOPAR, but was loyal to GM until that happened. Hope I made the right choice. Got a 75th PW on its way.
 
In the las 25 years, as far as trucks go, I've had 4 Chevy 1500, 1 GMC 1500, 1 Nissan frontier, 1 F250, 1 Tayota Tacoma, and 2 K5 Blazers.
I'm down to just 1 Chevy 1500, the Wifes truck. Just sold my F250 when I ordered my Power wagon.
