Spending some time in a Tungsten edition of the Ram pickup. I’ll update with impressions as I drive it more.
It’s a luxury vehicle that’s also a pickup. Smooth for something this large. Adding the Tungsten trim above Platinum, gives pickup owners an opportunity to move up.
FIRST UPDATE: This was my first time using Stellantis hands free Active Drive Assist technology. It worked quite well on a drive along I-96 from Lansing to the Detroit area. It only handed it back to me a few times. Lane change technology was solid. It did seem the vehicle hung a bit to the left side of the lane. It did a good job of braking when we hit slow traffic.

Look how much I was able to get in there—with room left over.
Impressive.

In Georgia, driving the new Chevy Traverse. Story coming late next week
20/04/2024
Looking through some old videos and came across this one—when VW let me drive a few classics. I also learned the “Good Old Days” may not be as good as I remember.
We get a chance to try out som VW’s from a time long gone. Beetle, Microbus, Karmann Ghia and GTI. They are icons, but I wouldn’t want to go back.
