When you consider that the root cause of both problems (owning a Dodge RAM truck and driving drunk) is absolutely terrible judgement, this correlation becomes rather self evident.

The vans are legit though. My mom has a '91 Dodge Ram 3500 15 passenger van that has gone all over the US hauling various groups of children, and that thing shows absolutely no signs of stopping any time soon with well over 350,000 miles on the ODO.

Dodge Ram came in Minibus form?? I always believed it was only huge Pickups!

Oh yeah, tons of em. I actually had a Dodge Ram 1500 conversion van that my girlfriend and I lived in for a summer. Allowed us to visit a bunch of national parks.

Yeah 92 Dodge D250 diesel truck here with around 500,000 miles and I just barely replaced the original starter. She's old faithful and towed 11,000 lbs over 1k miles this year. I am never tailgating or going much more than 5 over because I'm not a complete dick. Also its 6000 lbs dry weight so you should always give yourself stopping distance in case something goes wrong.

Dodge Ram: the official truck of married incels.

The truck that coined the phrase “rust free”

Was literally thinking of looking this up last night. God knows the demographics line up.

It’s was one of my conspiracy theories until it was proven

I have another one that we made people as a whole more stupid due to some man made reason, and then this was posted!

Let’s hope that microplastics don’t have a similar effect.

D'oze is used. No.

It's the cheapest truck of the major brands so bad drivers gravitate towards it.

[–] Steveanonymous@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where I am from at least it’s also a status symbol. Not sure why if it’s the cheapest truck

The term youre looking for is "hood rich", or the redneck equivalent

Pretty sure Nissan Altima drivers are even worse
