Why does Dodge go cheap with their steel?

Well, aside from the bailout BS and the fact that they are owned by Fiat now...

My LAST ram, which will always be my last ram, was an 05 Hemi RCLB 2500 I bought in 08 with 50k miles. That truck was the biggest POS I have ever owned. Plowing my own driveway I lost the transmission at 68k miles, had EVERYTHING in the front end need to be replaced under 80k miles, (bearings, inner/outer tie rods, ball joints, u-joints, everything) steering linkages, master cylinder, both catalytic converters were failing, bed had rust bubbled by year 4 as well as both bumpers were rusting out. Add to that that in the winter I got single digit fuel mileage, just terrible.

I know (living in the snow belt) rust is inevitable, but some things are just ridiculous. I'll never own another ram.
