Haha " (they said make the logo bigger) "

 

I'll bet they could have replaced quite a few disintegrating 2nd generation dashboards for what that banner and Helio rental set them back..........

 

That's stupid.

 

I'm thinking crosswinds could be fun........

 

Oops....... I guess that was a granny knot instead of a square knot

Touching on what Ed said here, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of money these Corporate Yo-Yo's will throw away on advertising not realizing that Customer satisfaction is the BEST advertising money can buy. Put that money into fixing some of the issues and your Customers will sell more trucks for you than that silly banner will.

 

Just stupid imo.

 

Even if they didn't spend it on advertising, I still doubt they would do anything for the previous generation owners. If you look back to the Q&A with the engineers, any questions about problems with older generation trucks (like cracking dashes) were answered with "We've fixed that issue in the new trucks". Even the follow-up questions that acknowledged the issue was resolved, but what (if any) action that previous gen owners could take to get the issue resolved were answered with something that basically boiled down to "buy a new truck". That's great if it were an option, but that's not in the cards for me right now.

 

What a waste of time and money!

Did anyone help the hillbilly that choked on a pork rind right after the good 'ol boy made a comment?

 

I totally agree with AggieJustin, nothing to help the owners of current trucks. The solution? Go buy a new truck. I can, but won't. Right now they do not do a lease for company vehicles (or at least up here they don't) and to dish out 55 k for a new truck to address the marshmallow ball joints, poopy u-joints and aluminum foil rear bumper just does not make sense.

If they would make a truck with a STRONG transmission, something that will handle 200hp OVER the rated horsepower, GOOD front end parts (Ford can do it, why not Dodge?) decent ujoints and good, real world bumpers, they would sell the crap out of them.

 

OK, a waste of $$$. Now, let's talk about Super Bowl ads and the "Stimulus Plan". Who was sworn off Super Bowl ad products and see THEIR long term improvements from the trillion+ $$$ "PLAN"?
