If you don't have a garage, how are you going to charge your e-car at home?
Yep. All the manufacturers are looking to suckle off Uncle Sam’s Inflation Reduction Act subsidy tit.
Fûck ‘em, I’m going to find an old Caddy with the 500ci V8 in it and turn that into my daily driver.
Yep. A friend of mine has one on the outside of his garage. He says he doesn't want to park his Tesla inside the garage with the nice carsExterior charging station?

I definitely wouldn't buy a new 3/4 or 1 ton. Gotta be 2007 or older.At that point I'd just get a restored classic.
Ram and Chrysler get a bad rap and deservedly so. The one exception is the 2014 and new Ram trucks. I'm a service manager at a shop and all Rams get are brakes and tires. I see coolant and oil leaks on gm, ford has everything under the sun, but usually timing issues because of that damn complicated plastic tensioned timing chain. The new rams are solid. Trim level makes a huge difference in NVH though. A base model feels like a truck. My sport with it's leather wrapped dash, ventilated seats and thick carpets is quiet and drives like a car. I put my money where my mouth is and bought a Ram after years of writing estimates for Fords and ChevysInteresting thread.
Like many of you I don't get excited about EV's. As mention by beat the tuna on why, I agree they do nothing for me. EV's 0-60 are some mean machines but when you can download exhaust sounds...That makes me shake my head.
I don't know what the market is going to do when I pass my little diesel truck off to my son. That's my plan.
For a while I have been rethinking my opinion of Dodge trucks. Historically consumer reports are terrible and plentiful.
At this point I will never own another Ford truck. I would try a Ram over a Ford now. I'm witnessing people with Fords have unacceptable problems under 100K miles. My Colorado aint some amazing machine but it's been solid compared to issues I see other truck owners deal with. I have a service plan I follow and my goal is to see how many miles that 2.8 diesel can take without a major shop visit.
By the time I'm done with the Colorado maybe I won't be able to get a new Ram gas. I'm sure by then if it's a diesel a new rig will have an insane asking. At that point I'd just get a restored classic.
Good to know on the 2014 and newer...I'll try a ram for my nest truck IF LOL lots don't all have junk or EV's by then.Ram and Chrysler get a bad rap and deservedly so.

I had an 04 that was the toughest truck I ever owned. I'm not sold on the newer Titans because they stopped being Nissan a long time ago but I'm happy you have good things to say. I'm just hesitant. It would take a lot to fill the shoes of that ol beast. 04 is when despite having rear end seal issues (My truck didn't suffer from it that bad. Nothing burger) most Titans still had Nissan quality and durability. After 05 I could tell I needed to keep my truck as long as I could.All those issues are why I went with a Titan this go around. It's been a great truck!
I'm right at 195,000 miles on my 15 Ram.Ram and Chrysler get a bad rap and deservedly so. The one exception is the 2014 and new Ram trucks.

I deactivate the 4 cylinder mode if that's what you mean.@BeatTheTunaUp Does Dodge let you turn stuff like engine management off? On all these newer rigs I hate all these poofter Starbucks 6.5 options.
eh, don't bother... You might like the Trofeo R, but they aren't going to last as long as your PS Cup2s. I think the rest of their street tires are terrible for the price.
