Amazed by how much that plant has changed since 1985 when I worked there! We made the Dodge Shadow and the Plymouth Sundance. They had only automated the paint line then. WAY more employees. We had at least 10 on the stick and move line where I put the stripes on the body. For a guy with no education or training these are the absolute best jobs you'll ever find. I hope the people working there appreciate that fact. I also worked at Ford Wixom MI. making the Lincoln Continental, Town Car, and the T-Bird. GO SHAP!

I have a 2019 Laramie New Body style Ram and I am absolutely pleased with it. Great fit and finish. Very impressive truck. Good Job!

[@TXnine7nine]

I have a 2019 Big Horn and I agree. The only issue I had was a leaking windshield and that was just because it was a replacement windshield that wasn’t sealed correctly after the first one got cracked. Water got into the floor boards but the FCA dealership did a great job of fixing the seal, drying out the interior and replacing all the damaged flooring.

[@SnowDog080]

TXnine7nine. I have 25000 on mine and it's been great except battery went bad. Dealer took care of it in a couple hrs with new battery. Very happy so far.

[@TXnine7nine]

@@SnowDog080 While I haven’t had a battery issue yet I do have about 37,000 miles on it and it’s just a little over 2 years old (bought it in July 2018). Did a 4,500 mile trip from Virginia to Texas to Colorado and back to Virginia this summer hauling a trailer and it ran like a dream. The thing that still gets to me after all this time is the lack of cabin noise. And this was from someone who drove a Honda Civic before getting my truck.

Horrible turning radius (although I was used to a two-door Wrangler) and when the back window is down (for the dog) you get a bad wind buffet and have to put another window down a couple of inches. Not the worst thing to put up with but annoying. Otherwise, can't find fault so far. No regrets on the purchase. Keep up the good work guys.

[@nobodyimportant6851]

It's been like that for 100 years, that's why the sticker on the door says "assembled at...." not "made in". Also why vehicle assembly plants are called "assembly" plants. For example, Corvette engines are built in Canada, but the car is assembled in the US. Conversely, all Police Crown Vics, Impalas, and Chargers have been built in Canada, but the transmissions are built in the US. Vehicles assembled in Mexico, use engines and transmissions made at foundrys in Canada and the US. The only true statement would be to say it's made in North America,as the vast majority of parts are also built in N.A.
