I was just called by the dealer/power broker rep and informed that the Direct Connection Stage kits will not be available until June 2022 and it will only be stage 1 initially. My 2022 super stock will be getting this before I even take delivery.

They won't pass Cali carb emissions. Dodge will keep moving the date back.

This and the lack of dealers signing up has me rapidly losing faith & interest.

I never had interest, so I did not want to be disappointed.

Why didn’t they seek all necessary approval and endorsements prior to release. Wouldn’t it be unfortunate if it doesn’t meet requirements, and doesn’t get released for existing cars as a dealer upgrade, or for 2023 cars from the factory.

If there is no future for the platform and the ROI is small, and the program is delayed bc they cant get enough parts from china, why would a dealer sign up? Sell more half ass trucks that have three times the margin.

Because that would require competence and planning. US business school grads only look quarter to quarter. And I think this was someone's baby for emotional reasons and that corporate never really gave it full support.

What's everyone going to do when they toss cars over the side and produce only trucks and SUVs?

Purchase the only thing they they have left that they Didnt “FUCK UP” A great truck called Dodge Ram with a 24 v Cummins. let the sales, bar graphs and pie charts speak for them self. There is noooo hiding sales that perform well, No matter what young executives try to brandish else wise. If they kill off every thing else that will be the only thing left in their corral.

Wife always liked the Silverado Duramax for pulling the 28’ horse trailer, me I know a real diesel when I hear it, and see it. Wish she wanted the Ram, bet I could sway her. But why should I if they ruin everything great that Dodge engineered and brought to market before they got it handed to them, and they flagrantly killed off. If so FU. Guess every one knows how the usually easy going pen pal really feels when pushed enough. Mod feel free to delete or put in cooler also @ dodge doesn’t care as well.

Always been an optimist, always believed in Dodge, even when I was young and Iacocca pulled them out from almost certain death, keep in mind if that occurred the Viper, Prowler, Hellcat, Demon, and RE wouldn’t be here for us to sample and enjoy. Let’s not forget our roots and what can be accomplished in the face of opposition. Dodge has proven it could be done with allmost insurmountable odds stacked against them. So what has changed. I thought Dodge was audacious and against the grain, well here it is opportunity is a knocking.

All this woke speak has me doubting that they have retained any of what you speak of.
Everything woke turns to shit.
