cr has been anti chrysler for many years now.... would you agree with the 2003 ram totally negative cr report its an interesting contradiction. i saved the summary here to review http//www.emcreg.org/staging/ram2003.pdf on the first page of this pdf it shows the graphical reliability history for 2002 2003 not compiled yet and all the marks are red circle high rating. but pages 3 and 4 are the summary report and it is nothing but negative. any 2003 ram owners disagree with any of the commentary in the page 3 and 4 summary considering getting one but when a review is that negative.... you have to take consumer reports with a grain of salt but at the same time you cant compeltely ignore it. thanks todd .
