    Hey, maybe if everyone stops buying all our death machines we’ll stop making so many and build something useful instead? Wishful thinking I know but…

      We stopped buying these death machines from you years ago (in fact, we never really started buying them):

      But that didn’t stop you from making more of them or making them more deadly each year.

        Dodge Rams are paper trucks. For decades they were (and still are) slapped together pieces of shit that would catastrophically fail at the drop of a hat. The brand deserves to be associated with conservative assholes that will shoot their own faces off in rage if you call their nose gay.

        There’s a 2020 article about the #1 most likely vehicle to be in an accident caused by a drunk driver is a Dodge Ram 2500.

        1 in 22 Dodge Ram 2500 drivers have DWI’s

          To be fair, no one outside of the US really buys anything in that f150 size or bigger

            When we need big we get a van for all-rounder stuff, or whatever specialised truck is required for the profession.
