It's a xxx was Mopar thinking.

Looks great for a 9000lbs no off roading tank. Goes down the highway good even in snow. No matter what you do or change on the truck you can only get 14mpg on a good day. Mopar must have hired a Ford engineer when building the fuse panel. Soldering the fuel pump relay into the motherboard was an act of monumental stupidity.

I have emailed the Jerry Ulm General Manager and he has yet to reply. They are very nice and the work that actually gets done is great. But communication is god awful, proactive actions are non existent, and they have not offered any compensation for my 5day repair turned 40days and still counting. There has been no delays in receiving parts, they do not properly order parts or diagnose the issue. Over 5 weeks I have 6 quotes to insurances because it was not properly diagnosed the 1st, 3rd or 5th time...
