In this video I share my thoughts on the recent layoff of almost 200 workers at the Ram 1500 assembly plant in Sterling Heights and how this affects us when we're buying Ram, Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler products this year.

They need to start listening to consumers and stop producing oversized luxury trucks…and return to trucks designed for ACTUAL utility. Build solid, reliable trucks minus the fuss and aim for a reasonable price point. If they were willing to make smaller margins on much larger volume, they’d arguably be better off than having MASSES OF $80K,$90K, $100k+ trucks sitting on the lots gathering dust.

Stellantis is doing everything that it can to destroy what used to be Chrysler. No one will want to buy a Ram truck with the Hurricane engine. I had a wagoneer with the Hurricane and I had nothing but problems with it. My wagoneer had engine issues from the first day. The oil sensor went out and Stellantis refused to replace the sensor. Instead, they said they would reprogram the computer and when they did that, they basically shut off every sensor in the wagoneer. And to top it all off, I found out that there is NO OIL DIP STICK to check the oil. So, when the computer says your low in oil, how can you check it to determine how much oil to add?

One thing to realize is that the severance packages are generally not for the blue collar, union, factory workers. These severances are only offered to management and clerical workers. The reason why many of the factory workers won't quit is because many are vested employees, hired before 2007 who would still qualify to recieve a pension if they can stick it out until they qualify for retirement. I am personally in that boat. I will have 29 years next month and I am hoping to get to 30 years where I would then qualify for a full pension. God willing I should make it, but for the managers or the white collar, non-union, salary people then yes, your advice is spot on.

I worked for a newspaper (production) my entire adult life, and luckily, retired 2 years ago. From 2008 until I finally retired, that fear of being laid off due to paper outsourcing printing/inserting always was a looming presence for all of us. For me, it was the severance package plus my age that kept me hostage. Ironically, a year after I retired, the company chose to shut production plant and outsource printing and inserting. I feel for all those guys in their 50's who are trapped feeling as though a sword is hanging over their heads at one of the big three now.

@@DavidSmith-tu1nd Exactly I purchased my F350 with only 16k original miles paid a lot but still less than half a new truck and it's been amazing 💯 the old school trucks will tell you something is wrong but have no control to shut down the motor and make it run in 1st gear at 6k Rpm's all the way to the dealer at 25mph. How is redlining first gear saving my truck when it was a blown fuse for my heated seats? I have an aftermarket apple car play head unit and it has no control to shut my motor down when anything simple breaks. Absolutely garbage because the first thing I found out was you are unable to plug into OBDII without a dealer licence so you cannot even fix it if you're on vacation 809 miles from home. It's all junk. I then got a 2021 GMC did the exact same thing they replaced three fuse boxes and that was it I was completely done with the new junk trucks! You sink money into an old work horse it will reward you with a way better experience and complete abilities to fix it and keep it going too.

I was at my local Dodge dealer only that they not only have gone back to the old prices but are still trying to charge an extra $1500 for a clay bar that they use on the outside of car for the paint. Ive used claybars before and for 1500 bucks is just their way to get more money back. If Stellaantis or any manufacture wants to sell cars then stop overcharging us.

I agree with entertaining content! It’s gonna be a fucking blast when you guys start making content on the downfall of these fools that placed their bet on EV‘s😂

@Ken-qq6gp Месяц назад

They would sell large if they didn't mark up their products by 30%. A Jeep rubicon X is 95k ??? More than any Toyota ?? The past at Dodge was cheaper price with high turnover but now it's huge mark up and minimal sales. It's just a stupid idea from management. A 75k Jeep costs less than 25k to build so the final price is pure greed and pure failure.

When I see a Ram for 30k again, then I'll buy. But not before. We dont want that trash. I just got a new RT in 2021 for 30k and just picked up a Compass for 30k..60/ 70k for a pick-up is outrageous 😂

Canada's new tax laws and gasoline average of $7 a u.s gallon isn't going to help at all. Cars need to average 40 MPG because food has skyrocketed and people are going to loose everything.

When you ask people what they'd rather have, a turbo charged 6 or 4 cyl or an EV, they can't answer. Well these are the options.

@typhoon320i Месяц назад

I call B.S on dealer statement to you. Electric cars hold a charge very well. I left mine parked all winter, unplugged (4 months). and the percentage state of charge did not budge. (at 58% all winter)

I/m not arguing one way or the other but perhaps it is the starting battery. I've heard EVs have those too.

@@TheKingOfInappropriateComments If that is the case, it should be a criticism of cars generally. Sure, the 12 volt will fail if left for long enough, gas or electric. I keep a battery tender on all my cars 12 volt during the winter, or I pull it.

Chrysler, DiamlerChrysler, Cerebus, Fiat, Stellantis... New names, new owners, new partners, same turd products but with high MSRPs = a losing formula. And, I'm not a genius.

@LongIslandMopars Месяц назад

All started with Daimler. Dr Z and his cronies ruined Chrysler instead of helping them as they portrayed they would, then punted us to a capital management company (what does a finance company know about anything other than managing debt?), then we get picked up by the joke of all car companies (Fiat) and now we have the worst conglomeration in all of the auto industry. I'm bitter because I have two old Dodges from a bygone era when Chrysler was known as The Engineering Company. I resented the Daimler merger and blame it to this day despite Chrysler management having put the company into a position where it had to be picked up by another manufacturer to survive. Sometimes I just wish they went the way of Studebaker.
