You lost me the F150, Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 make up the majority of truck sales every year. When comparing the 3 I see less problems with the F150 most years. The exception being the 5.4 triton 3 valve (hot mess) I hate the 2.7 (I know you like it cool) and the 4.6 (had some problems not as dependable as the 5.0). To my original point the Ram 1500 almost every year has the most consistent problems. Some years it’s garbage transmissions others it’s ball joints joints poorly designed leading to premature failures. But it always Chrysler products they are constantly a problem.

To summarize if Kia was putting together a 1500 series truck I’m confident even they could surpass Chrysler standards.
