Sorry you feel that way. You may be right that I don't know trucks. I'm my own garage mechanic of 31 years. All of my personal cars and trucks across model years 1970 to 2024, gasoline and diesel, plus similar vintage ag equipment as needed. I am by no means a career mechanic. I mess with cars and trucks because I enjoy them.
Here's a pic of my buddy's Dodge from a couple weeks ago.
Chrysler has had fire concerns since the vintage in the picture and currently has recalls of the same concern, does it make good sense to get it anyway?
I don't think so but YMMV.
I must also disagree with your point that i should spend less money on something I consider to be of lesser quality simply because it's styled better. Although I will concede that the truck below did look very nice shortly before the picture was taken
