Default Behind the competition

Why is dodge so damn far behind every other maker? For instance, my dads Tacoma, has the power outlet in the bed. Good thinking toyota, would be nice on a heavy duty working truck that is 2x the price. Locking rear diff., just plain smart! The laramies have a crappy dual zone temp, with a crappy cheap sliding temp setting. Come on dummies. No vents in the back for passengers. I just think it pretty sad to spend $50,000 for a dodge, when half that price elsewhere comes with lot more; except for the cummins, but y'all know what I mean

Oh and they could have made our mirrors tilt in reverse, and automatically fold in. Sorry, just in that mood.

Dodges don't have a bunch of stuff to break as soon as it gets out of warranty?


Say it ain't so!

I'm with you on the dual climate feature... Also on both my trucks, my A pillar, even without the gauges, creates the worst blind spot... I don't get why they can't fix that because I know I'm not the only one who has said that.
