Unhappy Someone from CHRYSLER please read

I hate to whine about a vehicle. The Ford I rode in had 30,000 miles than mine.I also hate FORDS but after riding in a Super Duty yesterday I noticed the following:
1. Dodge Seats suck!!!! I constantly have this pain in my right thigh from that metal beam. No problem in the FORD. Seat cushions firm and nice.

2. The interior door panels rattle way to much. The interior of the Super Duty was quiet even on gravel roads and logging trails. My Dodge doors are not quiet even on the freeway.

3. Electric window circuit is to weak. In the FORD we rolled down all 4 windows at the same time. No big lag in speed there.

4. I like the amount of room in the back of my truck. But after the FORD, My truck feels like a midget mobile. DODGE make a real crew cab.

5. this isnt a comparison to the FORD. BUT COULD YOU GUYS HAVE MADE THE HEADLIGHTS ANY HARDER TO CHANGE?

6. Oil Filter and Fuel filter placement could have been better. What if you need to change the fuel filter on the road. Do you think every one keeps a 1/2" drive socket set in the their truck?

7. Rumor is you are going to away with Cummins and use Benz diesel. ARE YOU CRAZY.

Ok I am through for now. But it is the little things. I mean this truck has turned into a rattle trap since 60,000 miles. I have a brush guard and it is a (female dog) to change the headlights. Did they pay no attention to their competition? It seems they are worried about quantity more than quality and are having trouble in quality. They have so many NEW products out they don't care about what they are already making.
