Not looking good for us Mopar guy's! I kinda remember this back in the early '80's so I'm hanging in to a small ounce of hope. Like something someone said earlier maybe an American someone/something buy it! Not holding my breath, though I do believe in miracles!

The trick on the Slant 6's: Change the OIL once in a while, keep enough in there and even throw on an Air Filter and put in some plugs. Them thangs run forever. And yeah, they were in the Volares when they came out, like 76 ish...

Wonder if the "govt" gonna bail out Stellantis and their horrible ideas and marketing in the US? Would not surprise me to see "Stellantis" bomb out of the US. Besides not wanting a 6 Cylinder electronic truck (keep my Hemi), I am concerned as think if Stellantis not wake up, they gonna be gone, just like them OMG WTH is this 500 Fiat's.
I always thought the lack of power was why you couldn't kill them! Talking about the slant 6!

My ex wife, when we got together in the mid 80's, had a 74 Dart with a slant 6 and a Kazillion miles. It moaned, groaned, ticked like a Ben Franklin Clock, but I bet if the frame has not rusted through, that sucker running somewhere. IT never get anywhere in a hurry, kinda like the Tortoise and the Hare.

The only way Stellantis will be bailed out this time is if they go all in on EVs.
Oh yeah, if I was to want a 6 cylinder it would definitely be a slant 6 but I love power! Lol
That won't help me than!
I will say that new 2 door Charger with a V-8 would catch my attention. That's what I would have bought before. I've always preferred a 2 door car!

2 door in Challenger, the Chargers all I have seen on new ones are 4 doors. But I do remember some of the long back 2 door Chargers. Friend had a 68 Coronet RT with the 440 in it, that sucker moved for a stock car.
They have been showing both, a 2 door and a 4 door. I like choices, one size does not fit all!

NAH, they gonna give it to U, if made with 4 doors, and a SO straight 6 motor, lmao. I would slightly be interested in a lower Trim RAM with the HO motor, but they are only offered in the highest trims, and the new "Tungsten" line, at over 90K, geez, 90K for a truck and not even a V8 and really just a glamorized GG hauler. Wonder why "Stellantis" is in trouble, not take D-ick Tracy to figure out. A 90K plus truck is 2 1/2 years money pay for this retired BOIRD, lol. YUP, I see my slightly trimmed 2019 5th Gen Bighorn parking forever out front.

TBH, since I do not have any want or need for any car or SUV, except maybe for an LT Camaro, I do not even look at the ads for any 4 wheelers that Dodge has out, zero interest. I have a Big Critter, Hoss so truck the only way to go.
Guess I'll stick with what I have till the end. I don't have to settle!

The local dealership has so many trucks, and older models brand new, they got em parked all over, even on the grass and fenceline next to sister GM dealership. They R even listing the 2025 RAMs, lower trims here for under 50 K MSRP, they R in such bad shape and crying and begging for bizness, same at GM house here. BUT they (GM), R not lowering their prices under 50K unless U want a Turbo Charged 4 Cylinder 6,000 pound truck, lmao.
Yep, definitely no other brand even in consideration for me. Keep what I have and will even look for something older. Wish I could afford something a lot older, '68 thru '70 Mopar. At this point in my life would love to get a '39 or '40 2 door Mopar coupe with a V-8 Mopar powered anything! Yeah I know, not gonna happen!

If it's the one on Allpar, that's the "1st Edition" specialty version, not the regular versions. Seems like makers are jumping on the "limited edition" bandwagon to generate buzz and some extra profit on a new model. GMC even did it with a midsize offroad truck...

These were a couple different videos on well known mopar guys on youtube both showing two different versions of the electric charger and their respective pricing. Wasn't even the daytona version, just the r/t and scat pack versions. No pricing on gas versions but god I hope they aren't even close to those numbers or they'll be lined up on the lots next to the 24 models still sitting.

The fact that they are already offering incentives or rebates just to try and sell their new products should tell you it's overpriced to begin with

Another true story. My first wife's grandmother had a mid-1960's Valiant with a slant 6 she and her late husband had bought new. They drove it everywhere, and pulled one of the 1960's single axle campers with it.
He grandmother still used it to pull a camper, and was still her only car until she passed in the mid - 1980's.
Both of her son's (ex-wife's uncles) swore the oil hadn't been changed since right after the car was new. They had put one of the toilet paper bypass filters on it, and ever since they would just change the toilet paper out every so often and add make up oil as needed.
Everyone in the family claimed the same thing about the oil and filter. Maybe we're doing this oil change thing all wrong on out trucks...lol
