I think if you had owned a car from 1970 you wouldn't ask this question. A 1970 engine would need a rebuild at about 100k, but it's likely the transmission and a ton of other parts would be repaired by then as well. You didn't take cross-country trips with cars after about 60k. It is night &...
You can want that, but I don't think that has been the case as long as I've been alive, which is quite a while. I don't think it's controversial that companies want to be paid for their intellectual property.
I don't do anything other than start it up via the Ford app now and then. Mine faces north in the driveway & I find it doesn't get very hot due to window tint. The south Louisiana sun means the rollup tonneau needs Armor-all (a lot of it) every couple years.
The worst thing that could happen is your bakes fail and you die while killing a minivan filled with children.
The most likely thing to happen is you never notice it.
you can only get 90% of your purchase price after 3 years and you're mad?
I guess you'll just live your life mad because I'm guessing your next vehicle will be about 60% after 3 years.
My opinion is the 1 yr thing is snake oil. An engine in L.A. getting the same treatment as one in Fargo is a bit of a stretch. Change it according to the monitor and it'll be 12 months.
You can only have so many decades of Consumer Reports "much worse than normal" reliability before the rap kinda sticks.
What Ram has is "it's a Hemi," which literally just means "it's a Ram."
