I've heard that Chrysler is discontinuing the Charger and Challenger also. The hemi is being replaced by an inline turbocharged6 cylinder. https://www.autoweek.com/news/a45756961/2025-ram-1500-reveal-photos-specs/" rel="nofollow - 2025 Ram 1500: Everything You Need to Know (autoweek.com)

Pickup trucks have never been a status symbol for me. Stupid to pay the kind of money they cost these days, (my opinion). I use a truck as a truck, and abuse them if need be. With the prices of operating being what they are, I use a 25+ mpg older car to do the running with rather than the 10mpg pickup, or 5.5mpg semi truck/tractor. All older, well maintained, and are just as reliable as something much newer; many times more so. No, I don't deserve new, so don't have it. ------------- A career built on repairing and improving engineering design deficiencies, shortcomings, and failures over 50 years now. |
