It's about time they introduce these to the market. They should have done it twenty years ago.

Beautiful truck, way too expensive for my blood, and I bet they sell every one. My only gripe would be the rotary selector, but that's a small thing to gripe about.
I think they choose the Jeep brand because they can mark them up more and increase their margins. Plus the Jeep Grand Wagoneer that I remember with the wood grain side panels were a bit more higher class than the Chevy Suburban. Having said that I'm not sure what's in the deck of cards for the future of Dodge.

I would wonder if they ever fixed the camshaft and lifter problems in the hemi engines. Until that is definitely fixed, I wouldn't touch one with a $111,000 pole.

It's fixed. But now they go through more oil between changes than an OPEC exec combs through their hair before a CARB board meeting. ![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")

Haven`t seen one that uses oil. Even the infamous Hemi lifter issue isn`t that much of an issue. I have a 300C with the 5.7 and 75k miles. no problems.
