If they were doing a sport truck like the old SRT-10 or Lightning I get it. But why does and off road truck need 700 hp |

Here is a Hellcat Ram build just to see how much fun a 707 truck could be
why does any car or truck need 700hp there really is no good reason LOL

My point was more why would an off road version "need" that much power. I mean unless you doing Baja style isn't most offroading done at low speeds Street truck with 700 HP to me sounds awesome. Off Road truck with 700 hp to me makes no sense |

With a truck even with an offroad package most will still spend most of their lives on pavement, most of the hp would not be usable, low end torque would be though.
I would not like to fill the gas tank though here 1.30 for 94 it costs 160$ to fill the tank on my truck. I go though 100 a week using it as a DD.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. And I would say the same thing if Ford put the Predator in the Raptor or if GM ever got off their ass and put an LT4 in an off road silverado it just doesn't make any sense to me |

Except FCA drivetrains still suck.
Best friend had an 2005 and a 2015 3/4 ton Dodge diesel. Both trucks transmissions crapped out. He switch to a Ford Superduty diesel and is loving it so far dragging his 38' trailer. |

On the other hand, my company bought a brand new 2016 F550 with the utility bed and the thing was returned over a lemon law. It was in the shop more than it was on the road during its first year. Ford bought it back. My Dad's buddy had a 2017 F550 to pull his 30' horse trailer and the thing blew the trans with ~1,300 miles on the clock. It can happen to anybody. And no, I'm not advocating for FCA here. I only own GM's and I'm on a GM site. I'll leave the FCA stumping to these Dodge guys that are always hanging around on here.

As one of the Dodge guys I have not had any issue with any of the FCA cars or trucks that I have had, all brands will have about the same issues more or less.

Oh well that settles it.....because of your giant sampling of FCA owners experiences, all FCA drivetrains suck.

Exactly, if we all liked the same things this world would be a very boring place. I do tend to favor Mopars a bit, but as demonstrated by my current stable of vehicles, I'm far from a fanboy. I've owned just about all of them over the years and have had problems from time to time with each and every brand. The most important thing is how are those problems addressed by the service departments.
