I strongly believe that stellantis will break off Chrysler, dodge , jeep and ram and make that the Chrysler group. Stellantis will still be the owner of it and Tim will be CEO of that company. Mark my words.
Yep, Opel AG still exists in Germany as Opel AG (and it a Stellantis brand) so Chrysler Corporation needs its identity back to, especially Chrysler considering they are the most important side of the pie..
THAT TOTALLY WOULD MAKE SENSE TO DO, BUT WHEN HAS STELLANTIS EVER BEEN KNOWN TO DO ANYTHING SENSIBLY??? JUST LOOK AT WHAT TAVARES DID!!!!! ENOUGH SAID!!!!!
Sooo glad Tim Kuniskis is back ! This is the shot in the arm Stellantis needed! He can or will be the next Lee Iacocca if the higher up's in the company leave him alone and let him do his job to resurrect the company once again. The Europeans had their chance , now let an American run it the way it should be ran! Ralph Giles needs to be alongside Tim to help supercharge the effort !
Paid subscribtions is for the birds. You buy the vehicle with the options its yours!!!!!!!!! This isn't pay per view!!!! I will never have a vehicle I have to pay a monthly fee to use the options on the vehicle
I stopped buying upgrades for the Navigation Systems in my Chrysler 300c and Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. I don't use these systems and probably never will.
Great News Butter. He’s most likely to focus on Ram, Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler. That’s massive as it is. If that works out then the rest of Stalantis. I wonder How the Hurricane Engine would do in the regular Jeep. Compared to the Penstar engine it has.
@@jamesmyers9285No, just plum no, who's (market segment) going to buy anything from that division, also they have been defunct since Bush Jr's Inauguration Day.....
He ran Dodge, Alfa Romeo, Maserati and RAM, he's probably going to get the whole house of Stellantis. He just needs to fix the most important part of Stellantis (RAM) before he gets the nod
They need an American to run stellantis since most of they're sales come from America not Europe. All the top companies in the world are run by american CEO's, born in different countries but are American citizens i.e. google ceo, Microsoft ceo, AMD and Nvidia etc.
Things move slow. I will say though that Tim is liked with what he did in the past. So him being back is a good sign and will add hope for the future at least.
When I first heard Tim was back as the CEO of RAM, and rumors of Stellantis separating CDJR into its own brand I know it's only a matter of time before he's running all 4 and I'm thankful Tavares is GONE
Great thoughts, thank you. It all just internal re-shuffle. Less we concentrate on details each and every moment, better the overall picture can be viewed. Tim never actually went out, neither V8 engines were really planned to be stopped. But the company had to adjust to the situation, hence said that and did this, while continuing doing in long term whatever will bring more money.
Butter if it’s true that would be awesome and I believe he will save the brand ! As a 2023 Redeye wide body owner this would be great to see happen thanks for the update
That subscription thing a lot of car makers are trying to do. I’ve heard of several that are going to make many of the options as subscriptions like heated cool seats,Heated steering wheel,stereo,certain drive modes,payload,etc etc. People are forgetting there is an insane 2026 law that makes all vehicles spy machines more than they are. It will have cameras everywhere, taping everyone in video and audio,it has all data in real time remotely and stores all history data to be accessible remotely and vehicle can be controlled. So it’s for government use and 3rd party. People will end up getting instant tickets and instant insurance price hikes. Plus your whole data can be gone thru and video and mic on you. Your car can then be shut off and controlled. Notice Elon hasn’t mentioned it to Trump. Elon just said the other day that all vehicles will be electric besides planes and rockets, lol so not his stuff. He continues to brainwash you that ur gas car is going away like the horse did. Understand a horse is your freedom. Guys the plan is for cars and insurance and fines to be so expensive you will brainwashed into not wanting a car and there will be Elons self driving cars to pick you up. So Elon has the balls to say this as he knows Trump doesn’t play the climate hoax game. The globalists plan-the WEF of which Elon ,Vivek and Tulsi were members of have a plan to take over space-they want space-they want mars to run too if bomb goes off to stay for a little while til air clears-think of it like Noah’s Arc. What they want space for is control of weapons from space and to get minerals from mars and moon. It’s not about us peons being able to live there and why would we un,Ed’s you are brainwashed by this crap. Elon has the biggest carbon footprint of any human ever-so there’s your answer. The globalists want the reliable energy for them-they need 2-3x the energy we make now to power their homes-their businesses and the data centers to spy and to run AI and robots. They keep brainwashing ppl that AI could take us over -the AI and robots are nothing without the data centers. Elon bought Twitter for data so he wants ppl talking-he even said data is more valuable than gold. He’s our enemy. Ppl are fooled. How dare he say that about turning our gas car collection into dust. EVs aren’t forward technology-take apart the first Teslas and a golf cart made earlier -they ere the same just bigger. So the plan is to steal all energy for their stuff which takes our privacy ,rights and freedoms away. They are setting up monopolies and duopolies everywhere. They want to leave us with unreliable energy like so,af and wind and guess who sell solar-oh yeah it’s Elon and do t for get he’s a defense contractor we always complain about but let him slide. So please tell me in your life when you bought a solar light or had to rely on batteries how that was reliable and not annoying-they can’t even get phone or laptop batteries right or even ones for your remote or smoke detector and think of the solar spot light you bought-how long did that last? That’s forward technology? No-but they want ours and to put a now “safe” nuclear plant in your neighborhood for their data centers to rule the world. Guys wake up. That 2026 law to cars is to set the stage for agenda 2030 and why the Dems did everything to lose 2024 so they can win/cheat 2028 to implement agenda 2030 that ends our freedom. Also understand the government admitted out loud they turn on your cameras on devices on everyone and record you and even when you shower or have intimate moments and they have back door to porn sites so everyone women in your life is on video and you and your girl on video in their data centers. They admitted it and no one heard it or cared and that’s why they got everyone used to not prosecuting creeps that were installing hidden cameras in Airbnbs and hotels and in apartments and in bathrooms and locker rooms-just got everyone used to it with no jail time. Why isn’t Tim talking about this 2026 law ? Why is nobody? The Republican Massie is the only person. But no one else. Buy your vehicle before that. I’m thinking when you take new vehicles in for recall they are adding some of these features to other models that are already set up for it so watch in 2026 how many 2022-2025 get recalled just so they can put the spy devices into play. Since 2014 as soon as your car hooks to phone it has been downloading your texts and the data was sold-it was the guy who invented it’s paycheck and giving it to car companies-so he makes money to this day off of our texts.
Blackrock is one of the biggest shareholder in Stellantis.....why am I suprised to learn that? I wonder if they were the ones paying Carlos to destroy CDJR.....? Can we get Tim to offer a mono tone TRX/RHO??
@briandonald they are gonna put it in a different modified torque curve that has less ft lbs than the maximum available which will over all reduce payload.
@ Again, torque has nothing to do with payload capacity. Payload capacity is determined by subtracting the curb weight from Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). How do you make a truck heavier or lighter with a software update?
@briandonald you're missing the second half of the implication which is under maximum power, the vehicle is able to continue to move safely down the road.
Stellantis just needs to merge Dodge into Ram (the Durango under the Ram badge) and then spin off Jeep and Ram as a separate company with Tim as the head.
CDJR and all of Mopar needs spun off as a managerially and financially independent US based corporation headed by Tim Kuniskis. Bring back Plymouth brand for the working man and rebuild Chrysler/Imperial brands for higher end markets.
I will NEVER pay a subscription for devices on my car, or for car performance. If these knuckleheads try to go that route, they won't see another dime from me. I'm in my forties, there are enough amazing cars already made and well kept that I can go the rest of my life without having to put up with that.
You can’t upgrade vehicle towing etc with software You need parts You can’t make the stereo sound better with cheap speakers with there location What are they trying to sell
Woild this not have been easier if the 4 original CDJR CEO's control stellantis altogether? In my eyes, it would have been easier because everybody is on the same page.
I am not much on bling, and there are a bunch of us. Why Ram fails to build a small truck is absolutely STUPID, several companies woke up to this market and are making a killing. Yes you don't make the same dollar profit per sales, but then you sell the smaller vehicle at a 3:1 ratio you make more overall. Good example, try and find some of these vehicles, normally they pad the price due to supply and demand. The funny part Ram sells an outstanding product in Mexico, but not in the U.S. Hope Tim addresses the masses.
It really is amazing how much damage Carlos Tavares did to these companies. I really don’t know if they can correct the ship. The Charger as a whole seems so rushed that I see issues with it regardless of powertrains which is sad. I was hoping for a Hellcat Charger (2 door) with a manual option, but I doubt they can do anything like that for at least a couple of years which is a huge loss of momentum that you normally get when releasing a new car. They released it as a broken EV and now we have to wait for the six cylinder, which really is of no interest to me, which isn’t happening for another six months. I just seems so dysfunctional. They should just suspend Charger sales, get the car right with all the powertrains they want to offer and then release it at once so people are actually excited about it when it releases. Just my 2 cents. I feel bad for what Tim K. inherited from idiot Carlos
Dodge needs to bring back the dodge magnum as a wide body hellcat with the interior of the new ev dodge daytona . Also improve the security and heads-up display, because it KIA, Chevy, GMC could do it why can't DODGE.
It's going to take a long time for this Mopar guy to return to the fold after what Tavares did. No EV with fake engine sounds or BS play shifter will win me back. I wish Tim success, but I really don't know if he alone can undue the damage done by Tavares.
Honestly, I've never seen how Stellantis can survive. They have too many little brands in too many different markets worldwide. Italians, French, Chinese, and Americans own interests in the company that have to serve different conditions in their home markets. Dongfeng Motors is owned by the Chicoms. How are their interests going to be common with the Americans? Oh, I see Blackrock has the top American holding. I guess that answers my previous question. It just seems like the company is set up to either frustrate or screw the American car enthusiast. DaimlerChrysler had a better chance of succeeding than this conglomeration. At least DC had large, rear-wheel-drive products in common so platform sharing had a chance of working. Fiat, Citroen, Peugeot, Opel, and Vauxhall are the large-volume producers for Stellantis in Europe, and they make small, front-wheel-drive cars. Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram make large rear-wheel-drive vehicles in the USA. Meanwhile, the Chinese are just interested in stealing everybody else's intellectual property, and Blackrock wants to make sure the company produces EV's to support their woke agenda. How can Stellantis possibly develop a successful product strategy with the partners pulling in four different directions and not necessarily dealing in good faith? Realistically, they only have resources to successfully develop one platform from scratch, and it can't fulfill all the disparate requirements. So they'll probably limp along making targeted improvements to existing platforms and sharing whatever components they can. Meanwhile, the stronger companies will be developing new platforms and leaving them in the dust.
Glad Tavares is gone. Carlos was not a car guy. He's a tech IT nerd who wore pocket protectors in middle school and took showers with his mom until he was 10 years old. Good riddance , Carlos, and welcome back Tim.
Tim had his head up his HellCat Rearend for the past 15 years. Zero technology improvements on NA Hemi V8s since 2009 while Ford and GM launched several iterations of V8s and completely new ones. Tim K is a One trick pony who maybe ok, at RAM but he's not The Guy for Chrysler as a whole. Challenger, Charger, 300 chassis: no redesign since 2005 & 2011 for the Durango. I'm a mechanical design engineer & I've seen tremendous advancements in materials & manufacturing that Tim had no interest in using. Hopefully, a real Chrysler car guy is hired with a lot broader vision than Tim
The company is only as good as engendering and parts used They don’t have engenders or good parts at the moment and have so much unsold inventory Old platform and engines Not ti mention they are priced like luxury vehicles If they want to survive they have ti go back to the old days when they were cheaper then Chevy and Ford and have a volume mover like the Caravan
Hey, Butter Brother, I wouldn't be bragging about TK and OC like you do. TK is a toothless moron and OC is smart but tries too hard to act like a "regular guy" when he lives in a million dollar CA house full of Lambos and Demons. Keep up the good work.
RAM is failing because they are forsaking a V8. RAM enthusiast want an engine that sounds like it should be in a truck. Loud and powerful. Nobody wants an engine that sounds like a sheep bleating under the hood of a frigging truck.

Honestly, I don’t see Trump changing back the epa regulations anytime soon, if at all, there not gonna keep going back & forth with this stuff everytime I new president gets in etc. Do I think some kind of v8 will come back…yes, but I believe the HEMI to be dead. It’s old technology anyway.
He said he will. Republicans also controls Congress, so all he has to do is have them make it law that epa restrictions get rolled back and it won't matter who becomes president.
The Hemi isn't dead - hmmmm,still seems that old technology is the preferred choice,plus with the new Magnum DOHC V8,there's some better options than that EV debacle
I strongly believe that stellantis will break off Chrysler, dodge , jeep and ram and make that the Chrysler group. Stellantis will still be the owner of it and Tim will be CEO of that company. Mark my words.

I tend to agree with you.
Oh, also with investment help from the great descendant of the chrysler founder :D
Thank God Tim is back
I believe Tim Kuniskis is taking baby steps right now. Remember, things take time & we just gotta be patient.
Dodge isn’t Dodge without Tim. Remember he’s the godfather of the amazing Hellcat!

Exactly mate
Tim Kuniscus being back ain’t gonna drop those prices on those things to where they should be.
And he can't shrink the new Charger which will fail terribly. There needs to be a Mustang sized 'Cuda or Challenger.
Put the 392 in the Hornet.......It would sell big time
Pacifica SRT was one of the projected cars before COVID times. Maybe we'll still see it.
Things move slow. I will say though that Tim is liked with what he did in the past. So him being back is a good sign and will add hope for the future at least.
I'm most sure we will see a new high performance small block Hemi in the next couple years...I just hope they drop it in a all new Challenger

Tell Tim k, to build the Cuda, Cuda , Cuda . Next progression, only makes sense. No Challenger , you need the Cuda . With convertible option.
How would you increase payload capacity with a software update? I'd really like to know.
Changes the torque curve.
@ Torque has nothing to do with payload capacity. It can affect towing but payload capacity is mostly determined by weight.
@briandonald they are gonna put it in a different modified torque curve that has less ft lbs than the maximum available which will over all reduce payload.
@ Again, torque has nothing to do with payload capacity. Payload capacity is determined by subtracting the curb weight from Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). How do you make a truck heavier or lighter with a software update?

At the end of the day if Stellantis drops the prices on their cars , they will be ok.
I am not much on bling, and there are a bunch of us. Why Ram fails to build a small truck is absolutely STUPID, several companies woke up to this market and are making a killing.

The company is only as good as engineering and parts used They don’t have engenders or good parts at the moment and have so much unsold inventory Old platform and engines Not ti mention they are priced like luxury vehicles
If they want to survive they have ti go back to the old days when they were cheaper then Chevy and Ford and have a volume mover like the Caravan
Give it up, Stellantis is dead. That includes RAM.
Donald Trump IS BACK > Tim Kuniskis IS BACK > DODGE WILL BACK
The Trump effect...
Honestly, I don’t see Trump changing back the epa regulations anytime soon, if at all, there not gonna keep going back & forth with this stuff everytime I new president gets in etc.
Do I think some kind of v8 will come back…yes, but I believe the HEMI to be dead. It’s old technology anyway.
He’s already discussed rolling back over half of the EPA regulations that hamper production in the United States of V8 and V6 engines.
He said he will. Republicans also controls Congress, so all he has to do is have them make it law that epa restrictions get rolled back and it won't matter who becomes president.
The Hemi isn't dead - hmmmm,still seems that old technology is the preferred choice,plus with the new Magnum DOHC V8,there's some better options than that EV debacle
Hurricane owner cope
I had hoped Trump would have addressed this during his first term. We got nothing. Will wait and see this time. NOT HOLDING MY BREATH.
Buttah, appreciate the update brother.
Maybe I missed it but always wondered why you got rid of the TRX?
