Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler to merge

We have a 2017 Pacifica minivan. The first car FCA built from the ground up. I like it - it’s solid all around. Styling much improved. No real reliability issues. Features and gadgets have worked for the most part (some required software updates to optimize) and are forward thinking in the car tech world.

I’ve been pleased with it. It has won awards and they’re selling a lot of them.
But they view that vehicle as needing to be a class leader. I rented a truck last month (2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn) it was nice, until you start looking a little closer. Some of the plastic looked and felt cheap. Rattled everywhere and the truck only had 6000 miles. I didn’t care for the rotary gear selector. Nothing really wrong with it, I just didn’t like it. It rode fairly rough. A good truck, just seems a step behind Ford and GM.
