Historically I have to agree. I went from a Ford to a RAM and had to consider these things before buying. The newer RAMs aren't your grandpa's Dodge. They've made a big difference in their build quality from what I've seen. Time will tell but starting in 2010 they just seem to be tighter. The newer trannys are also much better. I bought one so I'm banking on it.
