Interior....absolute garbage. Motor ect. Bulletproof.
2000 ram 2500 dually. Once again bunk ass interior but strong motor and tranny. Never a problem.
2002 dodge ram ecrb 360 motor. Bought with 24k on clock. Window motor driver side went out. Latch on sliding glass broke the first times used it. Arm rest was already caved in because the cardboard under filament is paper mâché thin. C clip broke off valve body & threw code. Took to dealership as it wouldn't shift out of 1st and told I needed new transmission. I went home Hooked up obd scanner and turns out it was the speed governor sensor. $60 + $120 labor and back on the road. Various other interior fails...sagging headliner, two broken visor clips. Driver side broke the day I bought it. Absolute lemon.
2004 2500 ram ecrb. Tranny out 19k. Tranny out 36k sold.
2006 2500 ram eclb. Tranny slipping at 46k....bought at 29k sold.
2008 2500 HD Silverado. Bought with 23k bone stock. Put this truck threw absolute hell and back pushing a couple hundred hp over the tranny rating only limping it once. 68k on the clock now. Replaced 1 glow plug at 59k. Never seen the repair shop.
Best truck I've ever owned. My dad was a lifelong dodge man and I grew up being the same way. Can easily say I'll never go back. The best thing the hd series with dodge was the ho 5.9 cummins motor. Now that they have the 6.7. Oh hell naw. Jmuo.
I hate ford but on our farm trucks it was always the OLD fords and Chevys that lasted. Hell I still put out hay in a ooooold ford with a 3 spd. Damn thing won't die.

It's all different experiences, i see my brothers CTS problems and think why would I buy a Chevy if they can't even get a 50k Caddy right? As far as interiors, what they are using now have put them from the bottom to near the top, MAJOR improvements. it does seem everything made during the "Daimler Chrysler" years took a dip in quality compared to before and now after. BTW, GM had some of the worst interiors until the last few years also, My Grand Prix, my parents regal both have wonderful dissentigrating interiors and my brother's CTS even has it's own issues.
