@@larrywilliams8063 That`s true for rental properties too! Recently sold a triplex we had in our family for 55 years! No longer could afford upgrades or maintaining work due to rental / leasing restrictions in Oregon! New owner we`re sure is just going to use property for tax write off against other income. We tried to provide decent housing to people that was affordable. No longer could when water utilities went up 10% each of the last 2 years & insurance went up 25% for the last 5 years while lease /rental rates we`re only allowed to increase 8% annually.
Same here! If needed will just make parts fit which I did recently for thermostats on my 80`s S10`s. Could not find a new 180f thermostat that worked! Had to adapt a 1970 C10 thermostat to fit my metric engine of the 1984 by bench grinding down the outer diameter to the smaller outer diameter of the metric housing.
@@NoCommie If you have taken care of the truck for most of its life or is in good shape other wise I would rebuild engine with a good machine shop doing the work. I disagree with Scotty about spending $$ on older trucks at times. I have rebuilt the engine in my 84 & the transmission in my 89 S10 Blazer. Have had both trucks in my family since new. Also have had the bodies rebuilt 3 times on my 84 & once in my 89. $$ well spent as both trucks are easier , cheaper to repair & maintain than anything after the 2,000`s. The 84 looks & drives like new & fits my 4`10" height perfectly while these newer huge trucks do not. Its cheaper to maintain & rebuild a truck that`s manufactured of earlier years than those of today.
Scotty, WTH is wrong with these automotive manufacturers? A five year old learns real quick that if you touch a hot skillet you don't do it again!. But these idiots build and rebuild and try this then try that and all the while the ship continues to sink! They have no clue what the 'average' consumer is. If I were the head of one of these moronic manufacturers, we'd be going 'old school.' Keep the necessities, ABS, Catalytic,emissions, seat belts, etc. Put a good engine in it, timing chain, no turbo, offer it in a 4, 6 or 8 cylinder ICE. No frills, no maze of worthless tech, just a dependable vehicle (car or truck) that many people could afford. Am I way out there in left field for thinking this way?
The Dodge brothers are probably rolling in their graves as they would not be happy with Dodge and Ram's poor quality. When the Dodge brothers made cars, they made them good quality. After the brothers died, quality went down, and then Walter P Chrysler bought Dodge.
People purchasing the electric vehicles are dumping them before they have the battery issues. Heck, Teslas here in my home town are a dime-a-dozen, they are everywhere in the used car lots.
Kind of sad re: Ram. Meaning for 5 yrs (from 2019) the stinking stability control HASN'T worked? How could they NOT know ? That's supposed to be corner stone for protecting the driver in adverse conditions - that's a MAJOR issue. Had a 2013 Ram Hemi, not an issue (yes one or two minor recalls - minor), but was the best pickup in my 6 plus decades on the planet. Noted the 2024 models (at test drive) had an almost uneven "sway" about it. Checked the tailgate - light as a feather, and then the lightbulb went on, they (Ram) had put so much aluminum into the body of the 2024 that it completely threw the ride off (sway). There were several other issues (i.e. e Torque engine, and breaking) Bought a Toyota 4Runner - very happy.

There are ways to build fault tolerant software and practices to eliminate nearly all bugs. It's very expensive and slow but I doubt car software is anywhere as complex as a modern video game.
Nah that's just cope, Scotty is correct. For example the Ford Mustang Mach-E was melting the electric controller in performance mode. Their 'fix' was a software update to lower the power rating rather than install an adequate beefier controller to produce the advertised power. Software fixes are a cheap way to 'fix' design issues.
Best pick-up I ever had was the 1974 Dodge with the 245 Hemi 6 . Used to go on many country road trips . Kangaroos are a problem at night time in Australia,. so with a good Roo-Bar up front I was guaranteed to get where I was going . No problem with parts and you could fix it yourself EASILY 🎉
My 2018 toyotaco is back up to 21+ mpg after my tlc. The original plugs had .028 gap and flame black crust ceramic under metal base. New densoz came .038 . Total intake clean. Barryman B12 two tanks. Motor medic oil flush. Rinse oil. Upped to 5w-30 full syn. New air filter New battery. All new fluids and grease drive line. I added a sealed catch can. At 37,000 miles. 2× accelleration. At 33,000 miles with soot in exhaust pipe ,and 14 mpg with 0w-20 I quit toyostealership!
You know what i find funny sometimes about this channel ? it’s like a traditional thing whenever a small issue with any vehicle doesn’t matter if it’s dodge / Honda / his beloved Toyota’s , he have to make a video about it and name it “” the whole company is shutting down or pulling out of market “” the exaggeration is unreal Scotty 😂
Exactly. These recalls are simple things that are not gonna cause any issues for the average person. They are common for all vehicles. The thing I found about RAMs most of their issues are minor like replacing the lifters over 100k. Toyota is recalling a bunch of their engines due to possible metal shavings inside. They have to replace the whole engine. RAMs engines are actually very reliable.
He doesn't like the new Toyotas as much as the old ones either. But in all seriousness, the problems in Toyotas of the past are typically peanuts compared to everyone else even the other cars considered "good".
Don’t know that either. I see a lot of newer looking Rams with lots of rust. Our 2020 Ford Escape has had 4 or 5 recalls. Now the Engine light stays on and has a problem starting after fueling. Made an appointment with the dealer to check it out and get it fixed. Took it in and was told that even though it was probably something relatively simple to fix, they would be able to LOOK at it for 3 or 4 days, even though we had an appointment. They also said that they didn’t have a loaner at the time. So, we would have to rent a car so my wife could get to work. Their Ford play system or whatever they call it has connectivity issues. It’s garbage. Unacceptable. We drove the car home. F the dealers and the lousy Ford quality.
@@rwefree9469 I had a 2004 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS from new until late 2021. 205k and the engine still ran like a Swiss watch. But it was getting rusted badly so it was time. Only one recall for headlights. Most reliable car I ever had. Spent more money on it than I should have but worth it. But the last 10 years or so FORD quality started declining. I’m not a fanboy of any of the builders so if FORD and STELLANTIS cease to exist, no matter to me and they did it to themselves.
There is very stiff competition between these three😂😂.I'm beginning to think there are some financially rewarding Top Secret Awards for 'Poor Quality Product Of The Year' which these CEOs signed on to,that we the plebs are not aware of.
I know quite a few Tesla drivers and I still have not met anyone who has owned one for more than 18 months that eitherr sold or wanted to sell it. That's very poor customer satisfaction and they all say the same thing and that is repair costs are way too high and take too long. It's a shame because I really wanted to believe in the darn things.
Fools,buy electric cars,I know the stupid woke people,who are arrogant as hell,say their saving the enviorment!If they did the research ,my God,they the arrogant would find out what popular science research said years ago,beware,the damage to Mother Nature is immense when trying to junk the batteries,plus woke goof balls,the cost to replace the battery,is hold your breath,around 20,Grand,and if you break down on the road,your dead in the water!FOOLS,but they know everything!
Sure glad I got my Ram 3500 6.7 cummins when I did in 2018 the last year they were decent and still used CP3 fuel pump. 7 years old and zero issues. Maint is the key.
@rickyparrish8310 I had an 87 Plymouth horizon that I hated. A 4 cylinder with a 5 speed clutch. Started easily when cold As it warmed up it stalled out at idle. Ran better at 75 than 30. Either a carb problem or a manifold leak? Car was only $3000. But I spent more on maintenance. Previous owner tried to fix it. Had to undo their repair just to drive it. Traded it about 3 years later. Never got it to run smooth.
It's a shame. Jeep was an American icon and Dodge was a great car and a great line of trucks. Remember the early to mid 1960s with the "work rated" pickups and their sturdy V8s, even in the sluggish but economical flathead 6 days there was the "pilothouse cab" also the little Hemi in the early days with 170 horsepower I wish Daimler/Mercedes still owned Dodge/Chrysler- Jeep (my 20 year old WJ still on the road)
Battery cars, and many hybrids do ride rough, but I don't attribute that to battery weight, rather to using low-profile tires with higher pressure to stretch the mileage spec, since that is the most critical metric for them. Stellantis cars vary widely in CR ratings. One year, I recall RAM was at the top in "initial quality", but what matters to most is how it is after 15 years. Solar panel covered highways doesn't make sense because the span is so wide that the structure would be very expensive, especially to handle wind loads.
I remember when Chrysler came out with electronic ignition in the early 70's. High tech! Does anybody remember carrying a spare ballast resistor in the glove box?
I had a 2014 ram ..I sold it with over 200k miles only maintenance..I have a 2022 and best truck ever in my opinion..I had tundra,ford chevy before and many problems..I really recommend ram .
Running an older fleet here in Maine -- 2008 Toyota Matrix with about 240,000 miles. 2009 Ram 2500 5.7 gas with 171,000 miles and a 2009 Hyundai Accent with 160,000 miles. Older cars that have survived the salty winters fairly well so far with fluid film and the normal run of the mill repairs that you run up against but nothing exotic or unfix-able for some great sum of money. Have a local mechanic that works on them when needed on nights and weekends after he gets home from his dealership employment (quite knowledgeable and builds race cars on the side so pretty adept at most stuff)... dreading having to upgrade some day but will be cautious with what to purchase and probably will have a lesser number of vehicles as we're in our 70's now.
My stepson's company gave him a RAM truck until the truck they ordered him arrived. When you started it none of the electronics worked for about 45 seconds until it was fully booted, so you had to wait. Even the stereo volume control did nothing until the vehicle was ready to respond.
Cars aren’t built to be purchased and owned anymore. They’re built to be leased for a couple years, then returned when the new model drops, and the cycle repeats. It’s why everything is basically junk now.
On ram trucks the transmission dial is right next to the fan control dial for the air conditioner and it is similar size. When you turn down the AC you might be putting the transmission into park by accident because you dont need to put your foot on the brake to take it out of gear!!
The problem with software is they've outsourced both programming and testing to India. That's what happened to the tiet 1 company i was with, put the same crappy overseas company in charge of both software development and testing. Quality just went downhill.
And that’s why I never buy a new car and I tell friends the same. They’re all trash now. A good used car at 1/3 the cost of a new one is the only way to go.
My 2016 RAM 2500 bone stock Tradesman is still going great. No complaints. Funny thing is, once in a while when I’m fueling up, someone asks if it’s for sale. Nope, Scotty has me scared to death to trade it in.
@@danielbryant5803 175k right now. I don't drive it much in the winter and change fluids consistently. Everything seems to work well. I had to fix some wiring that got brittle in between the doors and the body.
Today I went on a road trip in my 2007 dodge Ram 2500 Cummins averaging 26.5 miles to the gallon. Cruising at 65mph. Betty is a beast straight pipe, 5 inch exhaust and rolls coal like a crazy woman. 285k miles.
I've yet to drive a vehicle yet where I thought the Stability control was something I wanted. 9 times out of 10 they tend to cause more issues than the benefits. Especially with trucks I like to drive them off road. One of the first things you learn when doing so is to turn off the traction and stability control upon starting the engine or you are going to get stuck or experience control issues than will get you into even worse issues.
My favorite is a Hybrid S Toyota Corolla. No belts to wear out. Engine replaces energy to the Battery that runs one or both electric motors. Very comfortable seats for long commutes. I baby mine by limiting use of the interior fan and disabling other accessories i think might drain the battery. I played with acceleration to see how long I could travel on the batery without selecting this mode. Saved a fortune on fuel but the tank is roughly 10 &1/2 gallons and means more trips to top off. Spend $20.00 less than I did with my Hyundai Elantra ‘06 with a 14 Gallon or so fuel tank. On long trips consisting of 400 miles, I stop every 30 miles to help the battery cool down which inproves milage. And having my tires checked before planning a long trip. Plus I allow it to cool down for an hour and do some stop and go drives throughout the trip. Seems road construction on interstates helps regenerative braking.
SCOTTY PLEASE DO A VIDEO CALLING OUT ALL THESE AMSOIL SALES CHANNELS CLAIMING YOU CAN GO 15-25 K ON AN OIL CHANGE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE THIS NONSENSE DOWN.
It can be true. Send an oil sample to the lab to find out if you can. Some guys can go 12,500, and that's based on lab readings at 3,000 miles, 5k, etc, to determine when the oil loses lubricity. I love amsoil, but I have never heard them say 25k miles lol
Thanks for the video Scotty was just going to go out to Toyota Thursday and look at a Camry Hybrid but I guess I'll stay away from the hybrids after listening to what you had to say about them
Hey Scotty, can you make a video about buying tires online? I've found some new tires from a popular website online, but they were produced a few years ago. Any advice? Thanks!
These companies harp on about sustainability and the environment yet they make cars that are scrap after 5 or so years. This is the opposite of progress and the opposite of environmentally friendly. Buy a simple old petrol car and look after it. My runaround is a 24 year old simple cheap and reliable Japanese car
I'm a proud dodge lover. I have a 2018 Ram 1500 4x4 with the V6, 2017 Dodge Journey front wheel drive with a 4 cylinder, 1999 ram 1500 slt laramie 4x4 with the 5.2 V8, and a 1998 dodge dakota sport 2wd stick shift with a V6. I WILL NEVER buy a newer Dodge or a newer vehicle at all for that matter. I'll trade for an older vehicle with lower miles before I buy new. But hopefully all my vehicles will last me the rest of my life as long as i take care of them and dont drive like a maniac
well just so you know, You have two newer Dodges. A 2018 ram 1500 and a 2017 journey. The journey is one of the biggest piles they make, it's a tin can. The ram 1500, isn't much different than what he's talking about. Daimler/Chrysler is absolutely terrible. The vehicles you have, are almost guaranteed to need a tipm before you sell them, and it's going to cost you thousands of dollars to get that fixed because it's going to take a month for the mechanic to figure that out. I literally have extra fuse boxes on the shelf for when Chrysler's come in so I don't have to diagnose them. I just put a new fuse box in it, see that it's fixed, and tell them what they need. The engineers at Chrysler are terrible, almost worse than their mechanics. after dealing with the engineers for over a year on a couple pacificas, I ended up fixing them myself because they could not figure out what was wrong, even after I told them what was wrong the first time they laid eyes on the vehicle. after telling me for over a year that there was nothing wrong with the BCM, I went ahead and convinced my company to spend a few thousand dollars on some BCMs for these pacificas. what do you know? I was right. and all it took was an oscilloscope and an hour of my time to figure out what they couldn't figure out in over a year. I'm a master tech, I've worked on all kinds of different cars, I am formally trained on BMW, and now work at a handicap dealership. about 95% of our vehicles are Chrysler. not many people know what they're talking about when it comes to Chrysler better than I do.
Uh oh. Toyota has a problem that it needs to address. Complaints are growing on forums that the new 2024 Toyota Tacoma 8 speed automatic is having big problems. Toyota now is officially recognizing the issue and doing something about it, sort of. Toyota now has a service bulletin on the truck. It is not a safety issue, so they won't replace it unless it breaks. In addition, the Toyota has to qualify for the free replacement. The Tacoma has to meet and display one of six specific fault codes at the dealership to get the free replacement. If it is a different fault code beside those six on the transmission, you have to pay for it. Fault codes that qualify: P07407F, P079571, P08BA71, P271371, P280771, P281671. Good luck.
@@frederickbooth7970 Apparently so, even for Toyota to build! Every new car part needs troubleshooting when first built and Toyota is not the exception.
I like my Ram runs like a clock drives well and other than normal maintanence have never put a wrench to it...I don't know why Scott hates them so much they are know worse than any other game in town they ALL have their issues including the illustrious TOYOTAS!!.
A former coworker...his wife had one. At one week old it needed a new engine and after 3 years he said the warranty claims invoices were 2 to 3 inches thick
Blessed love my brother, I hear you talk about the 2015 Toyota rav 4, I want to buy one very soon, Can you help me out here please, I need to buy a right hand drive one, am in Jamaica west Indies, I hear you talk about a certain transmission in the 2015 Rav 4, Which 2015 type should I buy ??. Please and thanks, watching from Jamaica west Indies !!.
My father inlaw has a 1999 1500 with over 400k and is still going. The dash is sun beaten and cracked bad, the red paint is badly faded, but it's still running.
At least Toyota recognizes the issues and fixes them instead of a software excuse issue 🤔😏 just like GM, and the number one manufacturer recalls Ford 😎
What are you talking about? Many modern Hemi's are known for inadequate oil lubrication causing the common Hemi tick. My cousin in law has a 2017 and it's ticking like crazy. He also doesn't like turning it off because it doesn't want to turn back on sometimes, he just leaves it running if he needs to make a stop.
2019 Ram 3500. Runs great. Had the high pressure fuel pump recall done. Turns out the OEM fuel pumps were ok as long as you didn't run the EPA required Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel Fuel here in the US. Whatever. Used Hot Shots Everyday Diesel Treatment until the pump was replaced. Not a problem. Great truck. Way better than the Ford I had.
These days I feel like companies are beta testing with real customers, be it airplanes, automobiles, smartphones, or Operating Systems. Automakers used to test their products extensively before they sold to real customers. 6 months of proper in-house testing should solve many of their problems. They probably can find many auto enthusiasts who would love to participate in such projects.
Don't forget video games. They used to pay beta testers. Now, you ARE they beta tester and you paid THEM! To be fair though, I did beta test for Microsoft from 1998 to 2005, didn't cost me a dime, and I got Windows 98,98se,ME,2000, and XP for free for my beta testing efforts.
My neighboring farmer has a Ram p/u. His interior light went bad a couple of years ago on his 2001. The light replacement was $1,800!! All computer controlled of course. Think I will stick with my now technically antique 1970 C10 & 1980`s S10`s with no fancy computers. Worse comes to worse will utilize my Thoroughbreds for transport. Have had to use a horse a few times to get parts for the mechanical ones when they all had problems.
I got an appointment for my Ram 1500 work truck in the morning. Gives a traction control light, then display says "auto park disabled" then "electronic brake system needs servicing". And the cruise control is disabled...
Auto park? Kids these days have it easy. (Not calling you a kid, I'm just saying). When I took my test, we dreaded parallel parking because it was the hardest. Now they park themselves. What's next? Flying Deloreans?
Scotty, you are aware that Ram pickup trucks are #2 behind only Ford pickups, right? I would not trade my 2017 Ram 1500 with 58,000 miles on it for a brand new Ford pickup. My Ram is the best truck I've ever owned, and I always owned Ford pickups before!
My 2012 has 85 thousand on it and now only sees about a thousand a year on it . The best vehicle I've owned. I was always a Ford truck owner but always had automatic transmission problems except for an old 70 that had a standard in it. And the Ford F-150s became ugly around 97 when they completely changed the looks of them.
@@Lonewolf1961-s9z My cousin in law has a 2017 and the engine is ticking like crazy. Hemi tick is common issue due to severe wear. I feel sorry for him.
Neither my 21 5500 Cummins or 22 3500 Cummins have any issues at all. My 22 has about 30k on it my 21 has about 130k and 6000 hours on it. No emissions issues, no issues at all and haven’t. For that matter, our family car is a Palisade and it’s also working perfectly fine and so did the sonatas before adding too many more babies.
They won't stop assembly eventhough they've identified the problem. They knew all along. Produce them, sell them, then worry about it later. Get the money first. Not everyone will return to the dealer anyway whether they know or not. For them its a savings (profit) on each vehicle not returned.
The solar panels over the highways is super dumb. It's more dangerous and more expensive. Let private individuals put them over parking lots, etc. My perfect vehicle would be a 3/4 ton diesel v8 truck with a plug in hybrid where I could run the battery only for 30-50 mile range. I could drive super cheap on electric in town without using diesel. I could still tow and take long trips using the diesel motor.
How did they manage to skip over the year 2020? I know of two 2020 Rams of people close to me, so I guess this is a good thing. Maybe they won't have to worry about it.
Hi Scotty, this I love your content. I have a question ,although it's not related to this video, which I enjoyed. My negative battery terminal is sparkling when I put it back on after working on my car. I haven't worked on any electrical on the car. What do you think it might be? Also, the spark is bright blue. Thanks for and thoughts you might have.
The problem now is that software companies can release broken software cause they know they can just fix it later. They used to hire teams of testers cause they only got one chance. Now, us customers are the beta testers.

And Plymouth really did disappear.
They rather go out of business than lower the prices a little.
They will rise price for this debacle.
Going out of business is probably a huge tax write off... then they'll come back with a new owner, possibly a new name, and do it all over again.
@@larrywilliams8063 That`s true for rental properties too! Recently sold a triplex we had in our family for 55 years! No longer could afford upgrades or maintaining work due to rental / leasing restrictions in Oregon! New owner we`re sure is just going to use property for tax write off against other income. We tried to provide decent housing to people that was affordable. No longer could when water utilities went up 10% each of the last 2 years & insurance went up 25% for the last 5 years while lease /rental rates we`re only allowed to increase 8% annually.
Bail out for them, nothin for us.
They need to lower their prices like 30%, and they will only do that in bankruptcy.

@@NoCommie If you have taken care of the truck for most of its life or is in good shape other wise I would rebuild engine with a good machine shop doing the work. I disagree with Scotty about spending $$ on older trucks at times. I have rebuilt the engine in my 84 & the transmission in my 89 S10 Blazer. Have had both trucks in my family since new. Also have had the bodies rebuilt 3 times on my 84 & once in my 89. $$ well spent as both trucks are easier , cheaper to repair & maintain than anything after the 2,000`s. The 84 looks & drives like new & fits my 4`10" height perfectly while these newer huge trucks do not. Its cheaper to maintain & rebuild a truck that`s manufactured of earlier years than those of today.
Converting Canadian Dollars to US makes the battery $19,131 for the Tesla. Too much in any currency!
Scotty, WTH is wrong with these automotive manufacturers? A five year old learns real quick that if you touch a hot skillet you don't do it again!. But these idiots build and rebuild and try this then try that and all the while the ship continues to sink! They have no clue what the 'average' consumer is. If I were the head of one of these moronic manufacturers, we'd be going 'old school.' Keep the necessities, ABS, Catalytic,emissions, seat belts, etc. Put a good engine in it, timing chain, no turbo, offer it in a 4, 6 or 8 cylinder ICE. No frills, no maze of worthless tech, just a dependable vehicle (car or truck) that many people could afford. Am I way out there in left field for thinking this way?
because the failure gets pushed on the back of the tax payer so they don't care, when action have no consequences and some such
You can keep the catalytic converter, it'll just wind up stolen anyway.

The Dodge brothers are probably rolling in their graves as they would not be happy with Dodge and Ram's poor quality. When the Dodge brothers made cars, they made them good quality. After the brothers died, quality went down, and then Walter P Chrysler bought Dodge.
The good news is that most of the 2024 Rams are still sitting on the dealer lots! Hahaha
I cannot believe I paid $31,000 for a new Toyota Camry se. Now Scotty's telling me I could have had a Fiat 500 for just $1,000 more.
....and you've missed out on becoming best friends with a mechanic named Tony
People purchasing the electric vehicles are dumping them before they have the battery issues. Heck, Teslas here in my home town are a dime-a-dozen, they are everywhere in the used car lots.
Where do you live? I don't see that many Teslas on used car lots here around Cleveland, Ohio.
Kind of sad re: Ram. Meaning for 5 yrs (from 2019) the stinking stability control HASN'T worked? How could they NOT know ? That's supposed to be corner stone for protecting the driver in adverse conditions - that's a MAJOR issue. Had a 2013 Ram Hemi, not an issue (yes one or two minor recalls - minor), but was the best pickup in my 6 plus decades on the planet. Noted the 2024 models (at test drive) had an almost uneven "sway" about it. Checked the tailgate - light as a feather, and then the lightbulb went on, they (Ram) had put so much aluminum into the body of the 2024 that it completely threw the ride off (sway). There were several other issues (i.e. e Torque engine, and breaking) Bought a Toyota 4Runner - very happy.

@Tayerful ...in producing unreliable vehicles I agree but they had a decent line up until recently.
The problem with complex software is that it is never released without some bug. Gamers know thus. Now subscribers to other products are learning it.
Your sentence has a bug. 😉
There are ways to build fault tolerant software and practices to eliminate nearly all bugs. It's very expensive and slow but I doubt car software is anywhere as complex as a modern video game.
Nah that's just cope, Scotty is correct. For example the Ford Mustang Mach-E was melting the electric controller in performance mode. Their 'fix' was a software update to lower the power rating rather than install an adequate beefier controller to produce the advertised power. Software fixes are a cheap way to 'fix' design issues.
Best pick-up I ever had was the 1974 Dodge with the 245 Hemi 6 . Used to go on many country road trips . Kangaroos are a problem at night time in Australia,. so with a good Roo-Bar up front I was guaranteed to get where I was going . No problem with parts and you could fix it yourself EASILY 🎉

You know what i find funny sometimes about this channel ? it’s like a traditional thing whenever a small issue with any vehicle doesn’t matter if it’s dodge / Honda / his beloved Toyota’s , he have to make a video about it and name it “” the whole company is shutting down or pulling out of market “” the exaggeration is unreal Scotty 😂
Scotty speaks beyond your comprehension.
Exactly. These recalls are simple things that are not gonna cause any issues for the average person. They are common for all vehicles. The thing I found about RAMs most of their issues are minor like replacing the lifters over 100k. Toyota is recalling a bunch of their engines due to possible metal shavings inside. They have to replace the whole engine. RAMs engines are actually very reliable.
He doesn't like the new Toyotas as much as the old ones either. But in all seriousness, the problems in Toyotas of the past are typically peanuts compared to everyone else even the other cars considered "good".
And here you are….again

Hey Scotty, did you see the Tesla semi that caught fire near the forest, it took 50K gallons of water to put out by a DC-10 air fire tanker!
I can’t decide who’s worse FORD or STELLANTIS. Then there’s BOEING.
Don’t know that either. I see a lot of newer looking Rams with lots of rust. Our 2020 Ford Escape has had 4 or 5 recalls. Now the Engine light stays on and has a problem starting after fueling. Made an appointment with the dealer to check it out and get it fixed. Took it in and was told that even though it was probably something relatively simple to fix, they would be able to LOOK at it for 3 or 4 days, even though we had an appointment. They also said that they didn’t have a loaner at the time. So, we would have to rent a car so my wife could get to work. Their Ford play system or whatever they call it has connectivity issues. It’s garbage. Unacceptable. We drove the car home. F the dealers and the lousy Ford quality.
@@rwefree9469 I had a 2004 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS from new until late 2021. 205k and the engine still ran like a Swiss watch. But it was getting rusted badly so it was time. Only one recall for headlights. Most reliable car I ever had. Spent more money on it than I should have but worth it. But the last 10 years or so FORD quality started declining. I’m not a fanboy of any of the builders so if FORD and STELLANTIS cease to exist, no matter to me and they did it to themselves.

@rickyparrish8310 I had an 87 Plymouth horizon that I hated. A 4 cylinder with a 5 speed clutch. Started easily when cold
As it warmed up it stalled out at idle. Ran better at 75 than 30. Either a carb problem or a manifold leak? Car was only $3000. But I spent more on maintenance. Previous owner tried to fix it. Had to undo their repair just to drive it. Traded it about 3 years later. Never got it to run smooth.
It's a shame. Jeep was an American icon and Dodge was a great car and a great line of trucks. Remember the early to mid 1960s with the "work rated" pickups and their sturdy V8s, even in the sluggish but economical flathead 6 days there was the "pilothouse cab"
also the little Hemi in the early days with 170 horsepower
I wish Daimler/Mercedes still owned Dodge/Chrysler- Jeep (my 20 year old WJ still on the road)
Battery cars, and many hybrids do ride rough, but I don't attribute that to battery weight, rather to using low-profile tires with higher pressure to stretch the mileage spec, since that is the most critical metric for them. Stellantis cars vary widely in CR ratings. One year, I recall RAM was at the top in "initial quality", but what matters to most is how it is after 15 years. Solar panel covered highways doesn't make sense because the span is so wide that the structure would be very expensive, especially to handle wind loads.

Older cars that have survived the salty winters fairly well so far with fluid film and the normal run of the mill repairs that you run up against but nothing exotic or unfix-able for some great sum of money.

My stepson's company gave him a RAM truck until the truck they ordered him arrived. When you started it none of the electronics worked for about 45 seconds until it was fully booted, so you had to wait. Even the stereo volume control did nothing until the vehicle was ready to respond.

On ram trucks the transmission dial is right next to the fan control dial for the air conditioner and it is similar size. When you turn down the AC you might be putting the transmission into park by accident because you dont need to put your foot on the brake to take it out of gear!!

I've yet to drive a vehicle yet where I thought the Stability control was something I wanted. 9 times out of 10 they tend to cause more issues than the benefits. Especially with trucks I like to drive them off road. One of the first things you learn when doing so is to turn off the traction and stability control upon starting the engine or you are going to get stuck or experience control issues than will get you into even worse issues.
My favorite is a Hybrid S Toyota Corolla. No belts to wear out. Engine replaces energy to the Battery that runs one or both electric motors. Very comfortable seats for long commutes. I baby mine by limiting use of the interior fan and disabling other accessories i think might drain the battery.
I played with acceleration to see how long I could travel on the batery without selecting this mode. Saved a fortune on fuel but the tank is roughly 10 &1/2 gallons and means more trips to top off. Spend $20.00 less than I did with my Hyundai Elantra ‘06 with a 14 Gallon or so fuel tank. On long trips consisting of 400 miles, I stop every 30 miles to help the battery cool down which inproves milage. And having my tires checked before planning a long trip. Plus I allow it to cool down for an hour and do some stop and go drives throughout the trip. Seems road construction on interstates helps regenerative braking.

well just so you know, You have two newer Dodges. A 2018 ram 1500 and a 2017 journey. The journey is one of the biggest piles they make, it's a tin can. The ram 1500, isn't much different than what he's talking about. Daimler/Chrysler is absolutely terrible. The vehicles you have, are almost guaranteed to need a tipm before you sell them, and it's going to cost you thousands of dollars to get that fixed because it's going to take a month for the mechanic to figure that out. I literally have extra fuse boxes on the shelf for when Chrysler's come in so I don't have to diagnose them. I just put a new fuse box in it, see that it's fixed, and tell them what they need.
The engineers at Chrysler are terrible, almost worse than their mechanics. after dealing with the engineers for over a year on a couple pacificas, I ended up fixing them myself because they could not figure out what was wrong, even after I told them what was wrong the first time they laid eyes on the vehicle. after telling me for over a year that there was nothing wrong with the BCM, I went ahead and convinced my company to spend a few thousand dollars on some BCMs for these pacificas. what do you know? I was right. and all it took was an oscilloscope and an hour of my time to figure out what they couldn't figure out in over a year.
I'm a master tech, I've worked on all kinds of different cars, I am formally trained on BMW, and now work at a handicap dealership. about 95% of our vehicles are Chrysler. not many people know what they're talking about when it comes to Chrysler better than I do.

The Tacoma has to meet and display one of six specific fault codes at the dealership to get the free replacement.

My father inlaw has a 1999 1500 with over 400k and is still going. The dash is sun beaten and cracked bad, the red paint is badly faded, but it's still running.
Toyota Corolla has a missing cotton stitch in the back seat
Scottie: Toyota is shutting down...
Rev up your recalled software-updated Rams!
I would but, I don't have one. 😢
Say what you will about RAMs, but at least the engines are not blowing up like some Toyota's are.
At least Toyota recognizes the issues and fixes them instead of a software excuse issue 🤔😏 just like GM, and the number one manufacturer recalls Ford 😎
Wait for the new hurricane 🌀
It’s all junk anymore
What are you talking about? Many modern Hemi's are known for inadequate oil lubrication causing the common Hemi tick. My cousin in law has a 2017 and it's ticking like crazy. He also doesn't like turning it off because it doesn't want to turn back on sometimes, he just leaves it running if he needs to make a stop.
@@Argedis the ticking is an easy fix, lifters get loose and need replacing.
2020 ram . 60,thousand miles. Not one issue yet
What Gen? Seems like the issues are with the Newer Gen 5's
Same. 2020. 5.7 hemi. 30k runs like a dream.
Same. 2019 Ram 2500 Cummins at 63,000 miles and only 1 issue: my emissions equipment fell off when I left the dealership. Other than that, flawless.
See what happens with the next 30...@@-_-_-_-318
2019 Ram 3500. Runs great. Had the high pressure fuel pump recall done. Turns out the OEM fuel pumps were ok as long as you didn't run the EPA required Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel Fuel here in the US. Whatever. Used Hot Shots Everyday Diesel Treatment until the pump was replaced. Not a problem. Great truck. Way better than the Ford I had.
These days I feel like companies are beta testing with real customers, be it airplanes, automobiles, smartphones, or Operating Systems. Automakers used to test their products extensively before they sold to real customers. 6 months of proper in-house testing should solve many of their problems. They probably can find many auto enthusiasts who would love to participate in such projects.
Don't forget video games. They used to pay beta testers. Now, you ARE they beta tester and you paid THEM! To be fair though, I did beta test for Microsoft from 1998 to 2005, didn't cost me a dime, and I got Windows 98,98se,ME,2000, and XP for free for my beta testing efforts.
Nothing like the classics for American quality. Unlike today sadly.
Stallantis products are junk, I should know I have one 😢
My neighboring farmer has a Ram p/u. His interior light went bad a couple of years ago on his 2001. The light replacement was $1,800!! All computer controlled of course. Think I will stick with my now technically antique 1970 C10 & 1980`s S10`s with no fancy computers. Worse comes to worse will utilize my Thoroughbreds for transport. Have had to use a horse a few times to get parts for the mechanical ones when they all had problems.
I got an appointment for my Ram 1500 work truck in the morning. Gives a traction control light, then display says "auto park disabled" then "electronic brake system needs servicing". And the cruise control is disabled...
Auto park? Kids these days have it easy. (Not calling you a kid, I'm just saying). When I took my test, we dreaded parallel parking because it was the hardest. Now they park themselves. What's next? Flying Deloreans?
Lots of electrical gremlins running around under your hood!😄
@@DarkForce2024 Auto park in this case means, it will shift into park, if you turn car off while in drive.
You can get a gasoline-powered automatic transmission made in Japan Mazda 3 for less than that Fiat EV.
Scotty, you are aware that Ram pickup trucks are #2 behind only Ford pickups, right? I would not trade my 2017 Ram 1500 with 58,000 miles on it for a brand new Ford pickup. My Ram is the best truck I've ever owned, and I always owned Ford pickups before!
I also have a 2017 Ram. Awesome truck! 50,000 miles with ZERO issues!!
My 2012 has 85 thousand on it and now only sees about a thousand a year on it . The best vehicle I've owned. I was always a Ford truck owner but always had automatic transmission problems except for an old 70 that had a standard in it. And the Ford F-150s became ugly around 97 when they completely changed the looks of them.
Same here my 2015 hemi ram has 155K, has only needed struts, an alternator, and water pump.
@@joshkrause2977 Hope you are doing the work yourself or you are looking at a costly job.
@@Lonewolf1961-s9z My cousin in law has a 2017 and the engine is ticking like crazy. Hemi tick is common issue due to severe wear.
I feel sorry for him.
Neither my 21 5500 Cummins or 22 3500 Cummins have any issues at all. My 22 has about 30k on it my 21 has about 130k and 6000 hours on it.
No emissions issues, no issues at all and haven’t.
For that matter, our family car is a Palisade and it’s also working perfectly fine and so did the sonatas before adding too many more babies.
I bought a brand new Ram 1500 tradesman for $29k in 2015. Haven't had a single issue with my truck. I actually feel like my truck runs better now.
We called them little Fiat 500s, “four wheeled motorcycles”
They won't stop assembly eventhough they've identified the problem. They knew all along. Produce them, sell them, then worry about it later. Get the money first. Not everyone will return to the dealer anyway whether they know or not. For them its a savings (profit) on each vehicle not returned.
Future 'barn finds' of 2000 and up cars will be total junk with their computers and electronic modules all rotted out and no replacements.
Sounds like my ford with the 10 speed transmission they always blame it on software failure when in fact it’s the transmission that’s bad
I have a 2021 Ram 1500. No problems…..52000 miles. It must be the Lord!!!!!
Just enjoyed another rant by Scotty :)
its funny i am on my 7th v6 challenger never had one problem with one of them, just disapointed they arent making any more!
you have not owned any of them long enough for them to develop problems.
How is everyone always shutting down, but nobody ever shuts down???….🤔🤨🤦🏽♂️💯💯💯
The solar panels over the highways is super dumb.
It's more dangerous and more expensive.
Let private individuals put them over parking lots, etc.
My perfect vehicle would be a 3/4 ton diesel v8 truck with a plug in hybrid where I could run the battery only for 30-50 mile range.
I could drive super cheap on electric in town without using diesel.
I could still tow and take long trips using the diesel motor.
As long as people keep buying their junk Chrysler will do nothing to improve their quality.
I don't think so tim those trucks are all over construction sites we love Dodge and Chevys
Right on Mopar and GM for life. I'm a mechanic and detailer and love my Dodges and Chevys also
RAM trucks are still better than ford.
How did they manage to skip over the year 2020? I know of two 2020 Rams of people close to me, so I guess this is a good thing. Maybe they won't have to worry about it.
Hi Scotty, this I love your content. I have a question ,although it's not related to this video, which I enjoyed. My negative battery terminal is sparkling when I put it back on after working on my car. I haven't worked on any electrical on the car. What do you think it might be? Also, the spark is bright blue. Thanks for and thoughts you might have.
These manufactures don't want to spend allot of money to fix a safety problem, so they come up with a cheap software fix
The problem now is that software companies can release broken software cause they know they can just fix it later. They used to hire teams of testers cause they only got one chance. Now, us customers are the beta testers.
If this true it's a good thing, new trucks/cars are junk nowadays
WOW amazing TY so much ,,Keep up the great work
