while GM trucks sit in muddy lots new RAMS are sold and built daily

Not sure the point of your article. Are ridiculing GM for building incomplete trucks while Dodge is just shutting the plants down? The whole big 3 is hurting from this, and they are all dealing with it in different ways. Ford is building incomplete trucks too. I remember seeing the vidoes of full lots downriver. The whole "Chip shortage" looks like a subtle China trade war to me.

Agreed with the subtle trade war part completely.
 
I have ZERO brand loyalty, I'll tell ya that each of the big 3 is doing what they can to get trucks off the line and moving around the chip issues. Ford has been building incomplete trucks for a while now. GM I'm sure (as the pictures suggest) is doing the same. Ram likely had enough inventory to make trucks for now. My only complaint is that those trucks are in a grass/mud field and already getting a head start on rusting away. But their usual paved lots are beyond packed so I'm sure they're just doing what they can. If it wasn't for freight costs, the GM plant in Defiance is nearly a ghost town. They could use it for storage. But that comes with the added cost of getting them to and from there.

Are you running for "Chief Doughnut Officer"? They need a brainwashed Dodge fanatic and it pays $150k per year. Bravo if you can land it! Ignoring the harsh reality of the current automotive landscape will probably not help your cause though.

Careful, don't ruin his thread here! lol
 
Partisan politics (manufactures) aside... I saw a batch of brand new trx dodge trucks driving up van dyke the other day (being moved to another location).... My wife was driving and I had her slow down and position us next to one at a traffic light.... I gotta say the ones I saw had to be the nicest most bad ass factory pickup I ever saw before... (now if I could just afford one)
 
I guess he is pumped that they are focusing their resources on trucks that have the highest price tag rather than some work trucks? I. Confused too really, they should be able to finish some trucks they don't sell as many as the rest. Plus if they need some chips they could just go down the alleys and grab them out of all the ones on blocks from being the easiest car to steal in modern history.
 
Those Orange TRXs are bad ass. I like Raptors but the TRX is next level. Lottery truck for sure.

Yeah, I know Ford probably has an answer to it, but I’d still take a TRX if I could afford one.
 
oh thanks such a kind gentleman...I guess the first time you said wasn't enough, you had to repeat it. Thanks for the welcome response
