Say what you want about FCA quality, but damn do they offer the best color options of any manufacturer

Kinja has been giving me orange today (specifically an orange “Invalid values in distribution tools” error when posting images) .

They really do. This is a fantastic color for this big truck.

They drive real nice. The CVT isn’t even annoying and it makes laugh whenever it pretends to shift.

I think the lighting made it look at little brighter than it was.

Yeah, the pretending shifting sounds...odd, lol. Is there a ‘ manual’ mode?

base model comes with a stick. 6 speed. 147 hp.

I’m guessing the problem is really that the higher HP model doesn’t come with a manual?

Is orange the new PW yellow?

No. There will never be a replacement for PWY.

As a supplier of engine mechatronics to every OEM out there, I can honestly say of the big 3 FCA currently has the most stringent design and validation testing requirements of the automakers, in terms of how long we have to cycle/actuator our parts to show they will outlast the engine itself. I think they’re trying to make up for all the cost cutting screw ups that sacrificed quality 15 years ago.

Yeah there is. It’s hilarious . There’s also a sports mode which is pretty aggressive .

That’s good to hear and does fall in line with what I’ve been hearing lately with quality being much better on late model  Ram/Chrysler/Jeeps (Fiat still seems to be a basket case)

Fiat is still behind the curve compared to FCA. They’re slowly making their requirements more realistic instead of just trying to get a cheaper product.

How well does the manual mode work, or does it feel completely wrong XD

It feels just like the slushbox in our 2013. The only weirdness is knowing that it’s a cvt. Last time I messed with it I just laughed the whole time and annoyed my wife.
