The other truck is definitely a 5th generation Ram prototype, judging by the other pics of that vehicle that have been floating around. It would make sense to for it to be testing with the Scrambler because the 1500s are due out for the 2019 model year just like the Scrambler, with the heavy duty 5th gens due for

Looking at the regular 392 cube SRT’s depreciation-or lack thereof, I very much doubt it

Its not; its $85k

So, not only a folding windshield in spite of the previous speculation, but a BETTER one than the JK has. Good news

Wonder how it will stack up against the ZR2; Motor Trend seemed to like the Chevy more than the F150 Raptor in their Trans-Labrador Highway road test

Most pickups make around 400 hp nowadays so I don’t think its that wild. The Diesel ones are creeping up on 1000 lb-ft

There is a dude on VTCOA running 7 second quarters with his SRT-10

What I am saying is that instead of asking people to provide other surveys you should first look to see whether yours is even valid

The way JD Power conducts their survey means that a vehicle is dinged for dependabilty if the bluetooth doesn’t consistently pair. While that might be an irritant, it doesn’t make the vehicle lacking in dependability.

When you look at a study you need to look at how it is conducted. What questions does it ask? How specific are they? Can the conclusions it draws be honestly made given the data? Its not just “hey look, here’s a study, it must be true.”

200-400 responses is less than a tenth of a percent for some of their models. The whole paragraph you posted is an explanation of how bad their survey methods are. Take this paragraph:

Agreed, Maserati and Alfa are huge money sucks now for FCA, selling them would generate profit from the sale while also cutting losses. Jeep on the other hand would generate profit from the sale but be a long term loss of a major profit maker for them.

There are Jeep dealers throughout Europe, FCA used Fiat’s dealer infrastructure to spread Jeep availability around, sort of like Mercedes did when they merged with Chrysler in the US. Jeeps are fairly popular in some of the more rugged areas of Europe, especially East

It still blows my mind that people think Toyota is so much more reliable than Jeep. Jeep has been building 300,000+ miles vehicles since the ‘80s before it was common. Toyota was still building trucks where the frame would rust in half in the 00s

Its not statistically sound, in fact many of CRs surveys don’t even have statistically significant sample sizes, so even if you disregard the vague questions and response bias they do nothing to mitigate, their statistics are essentially worthless. Then they extrapolate conclusions that are disingenuous at best.

The FJ tried to cmpete with th Wrangler but took away some of its best features: the solid front axle and the removable top and doors that make it super easy to see out of which is great when off roading.

Those are all Daimler-Chrysler cars, not Fiat Chrysler cars.

That transmission seems to be holding up well for Ram owners who have over 300,000 miles on them, mostly towing. Also in the Bentleys, BMWs, Rolls-Royces, Aston Martins, and Jaguars that it’s used in.

Hellcats and Demons don’t have MDS. Neither do Apaches or Eagles with manual transmissions (not that its an option in the GC).

Sounds like the study that determined that was pretty scientific
