The second GOP went nah, Dodge: "Hemi's back ya'll!" Instead of seeing that no one wanted the Dayton Charger because the price is outrageous for what you get. It's a beautiful car imo, but man that price just blows chunks. Their hybrid Ram is going to be the same I'd bet. Too expensive for what you get. It's also beautiful, but I'll be sticking with my 2010 1500 and rebuilding her instead.

US automakers are completely tone deaf to what the majority of people want. We poor af. We want low cost EVs. Low cost cars and actual small trucks again. I'd love a Ram 150 again. Small Ranger again. The 90's S-10. Even the newer trucks dwarf my 1500.

We need vehicle height regulation too. Not just production but in aftermarket. Want to off road or mud? You do you, but it can't go on the road like that. It has to be registered as off road use only. I did a 2/4 lower. That is perfectly fine to do 99% of the truck stuff I do. Including light off roading.
