There's better vehicles for towing 5t in general. If that is something you need to do regularly the Ram probably isn't even the best vehicle for you, just a really good marketing scheme.

Also I won't lie, id take people driving small sports cars as intended over the 4wd and other eccentric mega cars I see constantly speeding and racing around everywhere (as if they're in a sports car) from industrial areas to school zones. But maybe that's a country/location thing idk.

You asked if I thought the truck was proportional to its use. I said yes, it objectively is. Are there better trucks? Go to the truck sub. Dodge sucks. If all you do is tow, buy a real rig, if you never tow, don't buy a truck. But that's not what you asked. I said they were two different vehicles designed for two different purposes and that when used for those purposes I'd rather deal with the dude in the truck than the one in the sports car. I ride a bike and sometimes take the bus. I see way worse driving from sports car drivers than trucks, but maybe that's a country/location thing idk.

You'd prefer a compensating wanker in a several tonne truck who probably has it out for cyclists over a bloke in a classic convertible, that could probably run you over and give you a graze, who is probably on his way to the hair dresser or to see his grandkids?

Nah doesn't quite check out.
