Either Chevrolet or Chrysler/Dodge.
I know of 2 people who have (or had) a new Ram 1500. One of them sold it at about 20,000 km because it was a -blam!-box, and another one has torque box issues at 10,000 km. I also had a co-worker who had a Caliber, and the transmission took a major dump at 90,000 km. A $10k fix. He didn't even bother.
Also, the Consumer Reports magazine seems to have a little disliking towards Chevy, not to mention they look and feel cheap as -blam!-.
My experience is quite the opposite of yours.
I sold my old 1995 Chevy K1500 Z71 when it had a touch over 250,000 miles . The only things we replaced were filters, a transmission, and a tension pulley over the life of the vehicle while in our posession. Its one of the best trucks ever made , and last i checked, the guy we sold it to uses it every day with no problem, and its still trucking along with over a quarter million miles.
I now own a Dodge Ram 1500 hemi, and its rapidly closing in on 100 thousand miles without a hitch. We also own a Dodge dually with a Cummins, and the darn thing wont die. Pulls like a freight train and still gets 20 mpg in a 8000 lb truck.
Weve had problems with Ford vehicles, but chevy and Dodges we've had are darn near indestructable.
I suppose it's all experience too. I totally forgot our Caravan we used to have. Not sure how many km it was, but I think it was over 200k. My Ferd has just over 55k km, no problems at all, but it's still young and fresh.
I think my hatred for Dodge comes from a large chunk of the drivers who drive them: like -blam!- idiots.
