Much of the nanny stuff on new cars and trucks is because of federal mandate. The manufacturers have to do it to be in business. One of the latest is the backup camera and screen on the dash. It has a lot of good points but some people just don't like it.

I have a 2008 2500 Ram with 142,000 on the 5.7 hemi. Only thing I dislike is the low mileage, was getting 7.8 mpg and a couple weeks ago I put a tonnuoe cover on and currently 11.4 mpg. Last winter with my 8.5' v-plow at just under 1000 lbs I was getting in the high 4's. My next won't have the 5.7, probably get the 6.4

You know, I am sick oof these new “nanny trucks” that pop up odes each time I drive mine. My current tRuck is a 2017 Nissan Titan XD SV four door with the 5.0L Cummins. It is under powered, throws codes all tHe time and is merely OK on fuel mileage. I am contemplating ditching the blasted thing. Comfortable, yes! Good looking, yes! It is considered a 5/8 ton.
I have nick named it the “Titanic”. Livery time I get comfortable with it, it schits the bed so how.
So, I am thinking about dumping the blasted thing and looking at a Dodge Hemi. Tired of grinding my teeth.
Thoughts anyone? MTG I'm a fan of the Ram's. I had one for 4 years and traded it on my current truck. Current truck is a F-150. Not as comfortable as the Ram but just as reliable. Probably more actually. I'd have no problem with the Ram or the Hemi.
