This is not a pleasant topic but an important one; I think. My family and I are very invested in Dodge, Chrystler and RAM. The Stellantis state of affairs continues to deteriorate and is very unsettling, even alarming. I know that many on this site know far better than I. Please share insights and opinions on this subject.
Like many on this site, I have an RHO factory order that's been stagnant for several months. If delay was the extent of the problem... small matter. I can exercise patience. I also have a pristine, low mileage 2021 RAM that I intend to sell when I have an idea on when the new truck arrives.
In the interim, Stellantis has taken on a corporate trajectory that looks like the movie Spinal Tap and it seems like the executives have the same business acumen as do the musicians in the movie. But this movie isn't funny and certainly isn't confidence inspiring. Market prices are falling out of bed and my existing vehicle is worth thousands less than it was just a few months ago. OK... ride it out for better or for worse. But worse is a vague concept that can lead to hell if it keeps heading south.
Is this why EVERYONE could order an RHO for $10K under MSRP? What happens if the trucks aren't worth half of MSRP in six months because of Spinal Tap-ish Stellantis? At what point does a contingency plan take centerstage? After the general election?
Not trying to offend anybody and not looking for arguments. I have steak in this just like most others on this site. Please share your insights and thoughts. Thanks!!!
