Has anyone said “douche canoe” yet?

Pleb!

I would love to be a part of a club that is made up of people who like to wrench on cars. The Mustang club around here only likes to talk about how much they spent on restoration.

I live in the Detroit metro area, and I’ve found most clerks to be pretty knowledgeable ‘round Motor City.

I’ve found that NAPA and CARQUEST parts guys are fairly knowledgeable. But the guy at AutoZone or O'Reilly? Chances are he knows nothing about cars other than how to drive one.

I wanted more of…

They’re just dirt cheap, nobody pays close to MSRP for these. And by now all the kinks have been ironed out of this platform and power train. If you want a small cheap CUV, it’s a fairly safe bet. I would trust this to be more trouble free than the Cherokee and Renegade, for example. I actually kind of sort of…

Honest question: How difficult would it be for FCA to transplant this drivetrain (engine/trans/AWD system) into a single-cab, short wheelbase Ram?
