I haven't posted here in years. Had to pause on truck fun for about 4 years. I'm back in the game now, finally got the ST done after 7 years of ownership and this thread is closed. For real, I'm done putting my hands on it, don't tell me I'm not. LOL.....

Welcome to Lone Wolf. You'll be in a class of it's own. As it stands now, I drive a 2013 RAM 1500 Tradesman regular cab and the wife a 2009 Nissan XTerra. However, if we could only own one vehicle it would be a truck with back seats. Most likely an extended cab.

That truck looks really nice. You scored on that, did you ever get the Mrs. a Challenger?

Thanks and Haha, funny story on the Challenger. She was all in. We bought a new house and the area we live in now there are a lot of Challengers, a good portion of the Challenger drivers here drive like assholes and she didn't want to be in that box. That made her opt out. So, I talked her into the C300S. Bought a 2021 for her a couple years ago, tested the atmosphere (I always bought her Honda Accords in the past), she loves this car and is in for the long haul!!! Found a 2023 with 3800 miles on it last month with upgrades from the 2021. I didn't get my HEMI though. Not a big deal, it's her car and I'll keep my hands off it (except the part where I care for it 100% around, LOL). Win Win, She's happy, more money into my trucks, one less HemiFever I need to deal with! ;)

Yeah, we love this car. Always put her in Honda Accords or Camry. Now a days, all these cars are starting to look the same. These Chryslers offered something different. Same reason I went with Rams years back, trucks have some curves while everyone else built a solid rectangle to ride in. I must admit, I only care for black or white C300 though and no chrome.

I disagree drove 2018 loaner 300 for a few days couldn't wait to get rid of it, cheap padded seats with poor quality leather poor handling, it felt small like I was a in coffin, even the wife refused to drive it after being a passenger and as she loves the outside looks of the 300's

I have very little familiarity with this vehicle and generational history. Ride quality and seats are great in our experience with our 2021S and 2023S. I might understand the coffin thing, I do kinda feel a little bit like I'm in a space ship or something, but I kinda like it. She gave the car a name (Leah) and we 3D printed R2D2 stem caps, LOL. I have always had clothers in my Rams and these seats are more comfortable than the leather seats she had in her late 2012 Honda Accord. Could be a matter of perspective, say you have driven in plenty of leather seats in your lifetime and you better understand quality, which I probably don't. Or, the seats and handling got better in more recent models and/or it's the trim level. I don't know. A last bit about the handling, when I first started looking into this vehicle a few years back, I was noticing they are prone to tipping over (handling or buyer type/user error???). Anyhow' didn't feel that with the vehicles we purchased.
