Exclamation How many of you all won't buy another Dodge?

Please don't start a war on this. No need for editorial even. But between the warranty declination issues, body, front end parts, etc etc, how many of you are willing to try something, or even anything, else? On the flip side, how many of you have had such a great experience with your vehicle, that the thought of owning another brand doesn't even enter your head?

DO NOT GET THIS LOCKED UP, JUST VOTE ON IT.

I'd definately buy another Dodge as long as it's 2006 or older. I refuse to buy a new one with all the emissions stuff on them. Mostly because I can't leave any truck I own stock. Anything from the 1st gen to 3rd gen as long as it's 5.9 and diesel!

If I didn't own a Dodge I would have to go buy a Kenworth to pull my trailers!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't be happier with all 4 of the Dodge trucks I have owned in the past.
No question about it the next one will be a Dodge

I'd have to say without a doubt I would. I've been buying Mopars for 33 years and don't see a reason to change, yet.

Bought a new F150 in 88. Mucho problems. Traded it in in 95 for a new 1500 ram (360 gasser). Great truck! Started learning about the benefits of the Cummins a few years after buying my 95, but could never justify selling my 95 for one.

My son came along 3 years ago so time to sell the 95 reg cab for a quadcab. If I knew in 95 what I learned in 98 or so, I would have bought a 12 valve instead. If it was a club cab, I'd still have it. After doing alot of reading, I decided the benefits of a Cummins outweighed the Hemi for my use.

The 2nd gen rams had a number of problems: Goodyear tires out of round, fuel pumps, track bars among other issues. My 95 had none of those.

If I lost my 05 for some reason, I wouldn't look anywhere else. Just because I don't have a 5th wheel, doesn't mean I'm not a happy camper. (I kill me)
