My 13 Ram is the best truck I have ever owned and I wouldn't hesitate to own another one when the time comes. In fact, it is highly unlikely I will even look at another GM, let alone a Found On Road Dead. If I had no choice and had to drive a Ford, it would really suck having to drive it around at night only. :news:

Super quiet, peppy as fuck, comfortable, great sound system. The list goes on and on.

Since Ram split from Dodge they’ve been doing a great job with the trucks. I had an 18 as well, good truck only a couple minor issues. Didn’t tow worth a shit but it wasn’t the end of the world. 
 

Don’t drive a 5th gen Ram, I thought the 18 was really nice, the new models were a pretty big jump in just about every way.

Like mine pretty good - except haven't figured out how to turn the trac control off completely yet. That annoys me ...

:lol: yea, now maybe find one of Ford's CURRENT model  , and not one that hasn't been made since '14 against Rams top of the line 1500.  And not to mention, that's not even an Ecoboost.  Good Lord you are dumb :lmao:

Find your own vid dummy ... sure didn't look like a 4 cyl towing that Ford around :read:

the ram interior is by far the best.  Fords is OK I'd say not much different than the GMC.  

Nice - but barely touch the panels & they have scuff marks.

I'd agree ram is the nicest. It's the truck around it and e torque I don't want.

As soon as I can figure how to turn the TSC off completely - I'll hook up to ya.

Apparently the Shift to Park re-flash makes the TSC only off in 4wd holding the button for 15 secs. F'n hate it too

Since they’re putting start stop in everything now you want the e torque. 100% less annoying than any other system I’ve driven. 
 

Once you let off the brake the electric motor starts the wheels turning. Pretty slick really.

I have a Ford with stop/start and FCA with E-torque. The E-torque is MILES ahead of the Ford start/stop. WAY smoother and much more refined. 

 

I'll be honest, I dont know how long either will last. But neither does anyone else. If you look online, you'll find issues with both. Though not as much as you'd think.

My Hemi Grand Cherokee with the SRT interior is the best SUV ever. It’s a tremendous vehicle. I just use the work truck when I need a few bags of mulch at Home Depot.

Buddy of mine was in a Trackhawk and said it was awesome.  For around $90K, it should be..

Tried the holding the button down - but didn't do anything.  Must be I need that re-flash.

I couldn't even roost across a snowy field the other day in 2wd with that BS :flush:
