Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

I would raise such hell at the dealership if anything like this happened to me.

But I prefer my cars with NO INTERNET, no touch screens, and very low tech (easier to fix).

Well don't worry your brand new Dodge will last about 5-7 years max. So you won't be seeing those ads too long.

They're truly horrible horrible machines. GMC is about the only American brand worth anything and even they suck now.

Honda and Toyota is the way to go anything else and you're just wasting money.

Sucks they don't have super duty trucks for people that need those like hot shotters though.

As a Toyota truck owner, can confirm.
