Local dealer stepped up and purchased the 24 month old truck at a decent price and put me in a new 2016 Limited. Nice truck, that I think I could come to appreciate.
It really didn't come as a surprise to me that Chrysler Corporate was trying to avoid the incident, but it was a pleasant surprise the way the local dealership stepped up to solve the problem. They even sent my old truck over to a neutral shop, to let me take off all the aftermarket goodies that will fit on the new 2016. I guess that's why I continue to do business with them, despite Chryslers flaws.
Only thing left to do is change my sig on the forum.

Most had been carrying a large camper.
