Our dodge ram 6.7 2500 2018, case, harvest editor caught on fire within a week of purchase, while driving down the freeway towing. At time of purchase it had 555 miles on it, and we'd only driven it 3 time prior to this. We were driving below the speed limit. The truck starting loosing power, we saw a little smoke in the rear view mirror. As we slowed the smoke increased.
