Robert, if you want full control at your fingertips don't fly in the new "Fly by Wire" airplanes.

On some of them it would be impossible for the pilot to fly by only his actions without computer assist.

Just mentioned this as times are changing!:thumbsup:

This model refresh is better then some vehicles "all-new and improved" models!

2013 Ram 1500 First Look - PickupTrucks.com News

Interesting. But that article would be more useful if it included the torque-hp curve and the towing specs IMHO.

Mopar has made/makes some very nice engines.:thumbsup:

Not the 2.7L.

Dodge\Chrysler has come a long way since the old days.

It seems to me that all the starting and stopping of the engine is just going to accelerate the wear on the internal parts.
Doesn't the conventional wisdom state that the more start/stop cycles you have, the longevity goes down?

They worked that issue out with light viscosity oil more lubricating holes and better quality parts. Also, for this type of start stop cycle the lubricants are already in between the parts so no additional wear should happen.

Lets face it Dmace, the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty was what pulled Dodge sales out of the dumps.

Hmm. And all this time I thought it was our tax dollars that pulled Chrysler and GM out of the dumps.
Reason enough for me to continue driving the American brand that didn't take Uncle Sugar's money.

This was before that as a effort to help people forget the 80's...

I'd hate to sound stereotypical but I'm not surprised some arrogant Phord Phan made a response like that...

So what "American brand" didn't take "Uncle Sugar's money"?
Ford? :laughing: :laughing: The company that's received BILLIONS of tax payer dollars in the US and Europe? :laughing:

The company that has mortgaged everything they own to the max just to refinance with interest free government loans?

It's sad really that a Phord Phan can't let a competing manufacturer thread go without some mention of government bailout. Truth is us tax payers will eventually make money off our investment in GM and Chrysler where Ford will never make us money. There's plenty of threads about this so feel free to continue there instead of wasting our time in this thread with your sad attemps to justify your preference...

Some equates to Some; not all!
