I hate Chrysler, but Ram is the only truck that's sensibly priced anymore. Junk, but sensibly priced.

My 2008 Power Wagon with almost 90,000 miles has been trouble free until this summer when I had to replace the smartbar. And I beat on this truck off-road too.

Impressive!
My 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee was trouble free until 16K miles when it need a new oil pan, and was then fine until around 60K miles when the lower control arm bushings were so rotten that the axles hit the struts on hard 1-2 shifts. It was alright then until around 70K miles when the N23 recall/update messed up t he 4WD low range and I needed to buy a PCM out of a wrecked Jeep without a recall having been programmed. That ironed things out until about 80K miles when I noticed the transmission leaking. After they pulled it out and replaced the front main pump seal, I was legit G2G until about 88K miles when the water pump went out. After fixing that, she was rock solid for about 5K more miles when the transmission leak resurfaced and a service engine light came on. I fixed that by trading it. Over all pretty solid truck, yo!

My last CX5...

...needed new diff at 34K miles because I flooded it and did not know, and 2 months later the electronic clutch shorted out/corroded some part of the solenoid and I got a service AWD light.
...needed new right fog-lamp bulb at 87K miles because it burned out/filament broke.
...needed a new fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator at 106K miles, which I think was due to bad fuel/contaminant, as they broke simultaneously and 5 minutes after a fill-up.

Absolute most trouble-free vehicle I've ever owned. Why I bought another one, in large part.

My 2013 Grand Cherokee TrailHawk. Water pump under warranty at 60,000. Had to replace the front diff at 70,000. It was making noises. Think because I was pulling it behind the motor home for 20,000 miles. There is over 80,000 miles on it and another 20,000 at least being towed by the motor home.

True, I only bought it for the Cummins engine in mine. The stupid stuff that breaks is just ridiculous. Price on the diesels, that's out the window now.

Interestingly a lot of my friends with cash to spare are buying the 6.2L SVT Raptors and throwing Rousch *sp Phase 2's on them. 590/590 hp/tq. Asked them about it and they said it's the best riding/driving offroadable truck out there. Not sure what their rationale is for the 6.2 vs. the new TT 6-cylinder though.

I need a Dually 3500 for what I do. I'll keep my 04.5 Ram 3500. A gasser won't cut it at all.

The diesel is over a $7,000 option.

Biggest reliability issue on all diesels is that people don't know how to use them. Especially in the age of DEF. They buy a truck to look cool in their driveway and pick up the occasional sheet of plywood at the big box down the street or take their toys to go play in the country or at the beach twice a year. Then they spec the diesel to save gas (or get the "diesel at the same price as a gas engine" promotion and think hell, if it usually cost more then it must be better). These engines need to get truly hot on a regular basis. Like "pull a loaded trailer 100 miles" hot. Not a 40 minute stop-go commute. They never do a proper regen cycle, and lights start coming up on the dash and the ECU de-rates the output. Those drivers DESERVE electric cars!!!

I think that the biggest reason Ram doesn't get the same complaints is that many Ram truck drivers have spec'ed diesel forever because they actually USE their trucks. Not just fart around in them.

I love my (gas) 2nd Gen Titan. It has some design issues, but the truck itself looks, sounds, and drives fantastic.

Diesel really stopped being appealing in the early 2000s, IMO, from a mechanical standpoint, due to all the BS.

IMHO, Nissan really needs to step up their game. I love my Z, but their current lineup doesn't appeal to me at all :(
