I might be a bit bias here because the 300/Charger/Chally launches practically paid for my house but they have the best interior with the sweetest infotainment systems, most character and style, and deliver the most powerful powertrains in a package that can handle the power. FE is really the only complaint I suppose.

I want at least five products on my driveway right now:
1. Quatrofellatio
2. JKU/JLU
3. Chally scatpack/Hellcat in green :jesus:
4. Rebel
5. Even the fucken minivan at times for ZFG kiddie transport, mind you my wife would have to drive this one most days.

I got my dad into a 2017 300s, 0 rugrats, and I got my buddy into a 2016 Ram 1500 ecodiesel. Both have been great vehicles so far.

Based on the 1500.

I need one for a 5th wheel that can tow quite a bit.

If the trends continue I could see a jeep/rebel in my future. If I took a job at my nearest plant I'd already have their products on my driveway, 20 min away and epic car lease :dills: for management which cover unlimited mileage, service, and the best insurance money can buy. My current lifestyle has me ripping through 25k miles a year of highway travel to various plants around the province. I should be driving a Civic Sport or similar donkey piss drinking cute hatch. Who knows what the world will look like in 5 yrs when its time to retire the blue egg. If anything happens to it sooner and i have cash in hand then i will likely FCA next.

How much are you trying to tow? I can tell you from first hand experience that 7000-8000lbs is ok, and 12000lbs is scary in the Ram 1500 with the diesel... It is rated at 8000 which is why I have been bitching about the Gladiator with the 3.6 no fucking way would I tow anywhere near the max with it... post 4 figures you essentially need a semi.

12-20K pounds.

Yeah, couldn't imagine anything like that in a 1500 or on a hitch. I'm taking about a 40 foot long trailer on a goose neck in the bed.

This is one of the non-toy haulers the wife likes.

12-16K pounds.

Perhaps a separate debate at that point by why not RV then ? that's just nuts. towed a 29' er and that trailer is pretty enormous it made navigating the streets nearly impossible. I can't imagine 40' + 2' more feet of truck

Was looking at class A motorhomes, but then you really need to trailer a car or Jeep behind if you want to go anywhere when you get to the general area.. with a 5th
wheel you just unhook and drive into town in the truck.

Fair, I think I'd class A+ 2 door JL or whatever as a get around... the 250" truck around town sounds pretty nightmarish as is... since all it does is tow. As is, no simple way out.
