Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

Good. I've seen those RAM vehicles, they're all american "tiny penis wagons" as I like to call them. Ridiculously pointlessly gigantic vehicles, all the better for running down children and guzzling petrol.

The tossers who drive those don't deserve good things.

I believe the Dodge Ram had the highest drunk driver rate for several years in a row (maybe still does). So yeah..

I mean yeah but yeah nah. I'm all for blaming the meatbags who buy this shit for fun but there are still enough people who buy entry-level RAMs as work trucks (might even be a good choice for all I know).

Besides, if Stellantis is continuing to get away with it other brand might catch on... I can totally see VW or BMW pull this crap.

I find it realy hard to tow 20,000 pounds of hay or horses with a ford edge, so I have a 2500 6.7 and drive it only when towing. just because people dont live the same lifestyle as you and need the same gear as you does not invalidate their needs.

We get it, you like to perpetuate toxic masculinity.
