Year model of 4th gen to stay away from?

I'd go for a Ram w/slant six, rubber mat. Radio and a/c and no computer.... Lol

Love my 2016 sport, although I wish I had a 2018 with factory Apple carplay / Android auto..

Any idea how hard and expensive or if it's possible to upgrade the head unit for that? Or whatever you have to do? Not sure.

It's easy enough to do, just need a comparable media hub, wiring adapter for the hub and the radio UAS or UAQ). It's plug-n-play(nothing to program) and the biggest $$$ is how much the radio cost you. Watch the classified section below or even your local salvage yards. www.car-part.com

I’ve seen units being sold between $1200-$1500. There’s also a company that sells them brand new ready to install along with the paired USB port for 2k. It’s not a cheap upgrade.

Slant 6, You'd have to buy a 1970's vehicle to get one of those.

Yeah!

They were great engines. Those old Darts with the slant 6 & torqueflite trans, the body would rust off the car before the drivetrain gave you any problems.

I think '87 was the last year in trucks, but I believe it continued into '88 for cars. Ingersol-Rand used the slant six until 2000 or 2001 on their trailered air compressors. The town of Perinton, NY, (near me) bought a trailered Slant Six water pump in 2002, but I don't remember the manufacturer.
