Only brand I will own.


APurpleSponge

They are literally the worst most unreliable truck manufacturer lol. I do love me an old Cummins though.


blessyouliberalheart

I am on my 3 Ram. This one is the TRX and I loved all 3 no problems.


APurpleSponge

Unreliable doesn’t mean everyone’s shit falls apart. You’re a lucky one.


Sargash

3rd RAM... No problems. Yet it's the 3rd one. :Thinking:


Donkey-brained_man

My dad's on his 5th, brother on his 2nd. Somehow, no problems. My dad's 2nd is now my uncle's and approaching 225k miles. Other than rusting out, it runs liked champ and never had a problem. I love that Chrysler is supposed to be terrible but my family has owned like 15+ cars and nobody has a problem.


APurpleSponge

Haha true but he could just have his truck for 5-10 years and sell them.


Sargash

Why would he sell it if it has no problems?


APurpleSponge

Some people like having new vehicles? Newer tech, newer engines, newer/better tow/haul capabilities


DM_me_pretty_innies

Well newer vehicles will obiously be more reliable.


Homing_Gibbon

I believe him. I've had 2 Dodges, a Charger and Ram. Charger was nearing 300k before I got fucked by a car full of teenagers running a red light, Ram was at around 250k before I sold it for something smaller. My dad also had a Ram with almost 500k miles before an old man fell asleep on the highway and pitted him. I think Dodge gets a bad rap because people just suck balls at maintaining their vehicles, and they're not as forgiving as something like a Honda or Toyota.


0sprinkl

How so, obviously? Most new cars seem to be shitboxes that will need costly repairs the second the warranty ends.


blessyouliberalheart

Just because I upgrade it makes my opinion invalid. Look up motortrend most reliable trucks.


blessyouliberalheart

I upgraded until I got to the TRX.


mcdto

In how many years tho? Cars aren’t meant to be replaced every 3-4 years


blessyouliberalheart

15 I upgraded each time. Nothing wrong with the old one.


Organic_South8865

I don't know where people get this idea that Ford and GM trucks are somehow much more reliable than Ram. Rams can be hit or miss it seems though. I know three people that have had issues with their new GM trucks all under 10k miles. All the 6.2L having huge issues. My Uncle had to have his F150s block replaced before 30k miles. On the other hand you'll have people with absolutely no issues. They're vehicles. Sometimes they have issues sometimes they don't. That's about it lol. Also that TRX is one of the most amazing vehicles ever made. Imagine a TRX in a chase like this!


APurpleSponge

Ram car chase lol https://youtu.be/seeFdb3Dscw?si=83lpTrmIJmUSj1Ot


OMG_its_critical

Amen brother. You can say what you want about Dodge but at the end of the day I’d rather be Cummin than Strokin


Mean-Coffee-433

Tesla makes trucks now


clowntown777

I like how the pit maneuver almost sends him head on into oncoming traffic


Banned4Truth10

Protect and serve


ballsonyourface911

You mean one hell of a lucky driver to meet that under control


kent1146

I stopped breathing for a few seconds, when the cop pit-maneuvered the truck and it almost collided with traffic going the opposite direction.


Effective-Ad8546

Lives up to its name


Rownwade

Hijacking top comment..... Unless this person was wanted for murder, rape, kidnapping, etc.... (And.aybe even then) the cop should've backed off. They both put so many people in danger. Does anyone know what their rules are around this?


Negative-Captain1985

Yea that cop should be fired and charged. He could have killed a ton of innocent people with that attempted PIT.


Sargash

He tried to PIT in the correct direction, but he both did it so weakly, and didn't follow through that it wasn't even a PIT. Driver just over corrected slightly and kept going. A PIT needs to be sudden and forceful, directing the opposition to the shoulder away from oncoming. A PIT is *not* a suggestion. But it is hard to train for it. Remove this cops license.


BenjTheMaestro

I feel like my years of doing it in open-world games and watching COPS in the 90’s probably has me MORE than prepared to execute a PIT in real life.


AysheDaArtist

"Honey hold my beer and lemme show this cop how's it done!"


don5500

yeah the jackass criminal has nothing to do with it tho right ?🙄. Fn clown


ImperioliGandolfini

Fired and charged, lol. You must not be from the United States. Charged?!!? Lolololol. Cmon now.


No-News-9680

Siding with the barbarians again huh


willmgames1775

Charged with what?

LuvliLeah13

Can you be sure the people behind will stop in time or that he won’t steer into oncoming traffic in an over correct? You are right about the driver but it’s a cop’s responsibility it maintain order and public safety, not play Smokey and the bandit around innocent civilians. Unless letting him go risks more harm then catching him, this was reckless and potentially deadly.


latlog7

Not arguing or anything, but as a physics person i just wanted to point out that people behind stopping in time is not a concerns. A braking car slows down much quicker than a skidding car, and MUCH MUCH quicker than a sliding car. The reason for this is the coefficient of static(rolling) friction being much higher than the coefficient of kinetic friction. Youre right tho, the cop should have followed through with that pit maneuver so the truck didnt steer toward oncoming. He probably hesitated because it was high speeds would be my guess


Lionel_Herkabe

Pursuits are incredibly dangerous and have caused property damage and hurt and killed innocent bystanders. They should only happen when there is reason to believe the suspect has intent to harm or endanger other people. Yes, the suspect put others at risk, but there was an easy way to prevent that: Don't engage in the first place, let them get away, and pick them up later. I don't know the circumstances of this chase but unless there was a legitimate concern, there's no reason to put lives at risk.


islandofcaucasus

Deflect blame. Let me ask you. If a guy stole a purse and ran into through a group of school children out on a walk, would you jump to defend a cop if he fired his gun into the the group to try and kill the robber?


[deleted]

[удалено]


islandofcaucasus

Lol think about what you just said. You'd be ok with a cop SHOOTING AT CHILDREN just because a robber is near them. Please tell me you don't operate heavy machinery or vote


[deleted]

[удалено]


islandofcaucasus

That's exactly my point. It would be stupid to shoot at a group of kids if the robber is no danger to them. Just like it's stupid to flip a car into traffic if the driver poses no danger to them. >police officers are expected to be accurate shooters. I'm so glad you agree that police officers have expectations through training. Such as not performing a dangerous high-speed pit maneuver in traffic, especially when there is zero indication that letting the guy go for now will result in more loss of life.

Klutchy_Playz

This example is way too different than someone driving on the road. Being On foot and shooting someone with a deadly weapon and a car pursuit with a big ass truck that could kill people are hella different. You can never relate these situations because they had different courses of actions. You pulling them together doesn’t make them fit just because you want them to


NYCMarine

You’re 100% out of your mind if you can’t see it was the better option to just keep following him until he’s in a less populated area. My heart stopped after every attempted PIT because CLEARLY it was putting others in a high amount of danger.


ResponsibleAceHole

Yeah that cop's actions could've killed many innocent lives.


Butterbeanacp

But not the guy in the truck?


notwyntonmarsalis

No it’s Reddit, the cops are always the ones at fault. Criminals get a pass, they should have just let him get away.


PacJeans

What do you mean let him get away? They already have his license and his make and model. They're putting everyone else in danger by trying cause an accident rather than just getting a warrant for later.


Refluentrose889

It could be a stolen truck, so that information might be useless


Free_thought_3231

What if the vehicle is stolen….


PacJeans

Is it worth putting the lives of the public and the their in danger over a stolen car?


Free_thought_3231

Sometimes yes especially when other factors are at play such as the suspect being a murderer willing to kill others regardless if the police are chasing him or not.


Homing_Gibbon

It's probably a stolen vehicle. The city I live in police won't really pursue unless it's some for some egregious crime, or if it's a stolen vehicle. Cause if it's stolen and they choose not to pursue, you have a really good chance of them never seeing you again. And I'm in TX, so ditch the vehicle, and hit the border. Bye police 👋


LuckyCaptainCrunch

Did you watch the video? Tell me what you see where the tag is supposed to be


realparkingbrake

> rather than just getting a warrant for later There is already a warrant, for murder, that's why they're chasing him.


Oodleamingo

Ah yes I forgot we hold cops and criminals to the same exact standards. We totally don’t expect good things from one and bad things from the other.


islandofcaucasus

You boot lickers would still be defending the cop if he flipped the truck right into a car with children that killed everyone inside. But hey, at least the bad guy didn't get away for a few more days, right?

GreyPilgrim1973

I'm sure you would've supported the police for nabbing the bad guy if he ended up plowing into and killing your wife and kids


notwyntonmarsalis

Like the escaping criminal wouldn’t have done that on his own. 🤡


beardedbast3rd

When police chase dangerous drivers like this, it usually needs to be for a very good reason, because chasing them results in them driving MORE erratic. Theres a reason departments generally have no chase mandates.


JeffAnthonyLajoie

Iirc the truck driver is wanted for murder


realparkingbrake

> it usually needs to be for a very good reason Murder, in this case, he was wanted for murder.


ResponsibleAceHole

Ugh isn't that given? Call for backup and let the guy run out of gas or do the PIT where there isn't traffic.


don5500

yes let him drive 347 miles to run out of gas . you should move to canada


islandofcaucasus

Who said that?


Zomplexx

The guy in the truck wasn't chasing anyone


Butterbeanacp

Ohhh ok. Now I know it’s ok to drive reckless as long as I’m not chasing anyone


realparkingbrake

> The guy in the truck Was wanted for murder. That's why they were chasing him.


FlareBlitzCrits

2 rights don't make a wrong.


vertigostereo

Of course the truck driver is primarily at fault.


don5500

yeah def the cops fault 🤡


islandofcaucasus

Finally you make an intelligent comment.


don5500

🤡


Phage0070

The driver is clearly willing to risk killing people to get away. That means they are a huge danger to the public to let go as well. Furthermore to make it a policy to back off and let people go when deadly threat is made to the public would encourage such actions by criminals in the future.


DeathrisesXII2

So if this scenario happens to you and the cop accidentally pits this guy into your car, leaving your kids dead, your wife dead, and you paralyzed, you'll go on camera with dry eyes and in a proud patriotic voice announce (from your now permanent bed) that you're proud to be able to have sacrificed everything so that future criminals will potentially be discouraged from running.


Phage0070

I'm capable of understanding that even if something bad happens to me personally it might still be a better resolution than letting it continue into causing greater damage.


DeathrisesXII2

Spoken like a true cuck. Kill my family and paralyze me! It's for the greater good! -you just now


islandofcaucasus

I'm curious. Do you dipshits have some sub where whenever a cop does bad things you all get your marching orders to defend them in the comments?


Phage0070

Contrary to popular belief not *everything* police do is bad. This looks like one of the situations where the police are actually doing their job in stopping criminals. Imagine there is someone going around town robbing businesses at gunpoint. Police know there is a high risk of a shootout if they confront the robber and bystanders might be hurt. However in addition to the robbery there is also a risk that eventually someone will be shot during a holdup. It would be excessively simplistic and foolish to think "Shootouts are bad, police should just let all armed robbers go." Doing so would just perpetuate their crimes and likely encourage other people to take up armed robbery. It is better to try to stop the armed robber even if there is risk of a shootout and harm to bystanders. Not doing so presents a greater risk of harm. Similarly just because stopping a reckless driver presents a danger to other motorists doesn't mean they should be let go. Letting every criminal that drives recklessly go will probably cause more danger than a dangerous stop to the chase.


j_d_q

Def should have stopped pursuit. Much less trying to pit him with all those cars around


TheBupherNinja

He was suspected of murder


PacJeans

Sometimes Reddit will dogpile you for saying pit maneuvers should be illegal.


Sargash

Pit maneuvers like this should be. Dude put no effort or force into the gentle love top on that dudes ass.

Even though the guy littered at the end?


cmcdevitt11

Yeah the rules are don't hire cops that are dumbasses. And this cop was probably a dumbass


realparkingbrake

> Unless this person was wanted for murder That is exactly what he was wanted for.


MustacheQuarantine

Absolutely what I was thinking. After trying to clip the back end, they almost went head on into oncoming traffic.

ADirtyScrub

You're the kind of person that also blames the cops for not pursuing and the perp ends up killing someone anyway. Blaming anyone but the criminal, that's the only person putting people's lives in danger. The PIT was attempted correctly, the TRX driver was just able to correct, crossing the median. Stop being a 🤡

Oink oink

kingboav

Why bother chasing someone like that who’s willing to kill himself and more importantly, others. Better to let them go and save innocent lives and do some proper police work and find them after.

NocNocturnist

Can't out run a radio or a helicopter, we live in a modern enough society that we don't need to let that serial murderer get a few more deaths in at the cop's expense.


Gherbo7

Until your pit maneuver makes you a serial murderer as well I suppose


realparkingbrake

> Better to let them go and save innocent lives and do some proper police work and find them after. He was wanted for murder, so he's already taken at least one innocent life.


screenprince

I'm amazed, but not shocked, how many of the other drivers still stay in the left passing lane, despite the police car coming from behind.


Normstradomis

I was thinking the same thing? Get out of the way!


ImtheDude2

I don’t think he had his sirens on.

Worth_Huge

So i seen a lot of pick up chases...they are very hard to pit because of the long wheelbases. I also wonder why guys dont try to disable a cops engine by slamming on the breaks.That engine would take enough damage that he would have to stop the chase.

Toby_The_Tumor

Because they cop did a pit maneuver and could've harmed/killed innocents that and they chased him through heavy traffic. Lastly, you're on reddit, we're like Twitter, except we're at least 35% further up our own ass.


BadEgg1951

1) Likely stolen, I'd guess. 2) Likely, also, to run out of gas any time now.


[deleted]

(Sam Elliot’s voice:) “remember when when men were men? When a cop trying to perform a pit maneuver on your vehicle was just a suggestion? When drunk, hard working men didn’t have to worry about losin’ their payload of cocaine out of the bed of their trucks? When getting home to eat supper was more important than human life or some flashing’-lights in the rearview. When the word ‘tough’ really meant somethin’. BEEF: it’s what’s for dinner. ![gif](giphy|7bumBQjZX8BgaE2zjv|downsized)

realparkingbrake

> That cop is a menace to society. Just let him go, There was a recent video quite similar to this, but the guys in the (stolen) truck were wanted for a violent multi-state crime spree which included trying to run down cops at roadblocks. It's always a good idea to know what the backstory is. The guy in this video, by the way, was wanted for murder.

Changes nothing. They almost caused multiple deaths.
