Sure you could. 
 

if I had no preferred choice, I’d take EB. Even though I owned both.

That’s fine. They just have a lot of complexity to have less power

You know me, I love the 150 and think the current model is great. Last time around I wanted the 150 only for the EB, for what I got with the Ram it was a no brainer. 
 

I’ve been in the new Fords, nothing wrong with them. The Ram aside from the engine and trans is better than the 150. I could not be more impressed with the 20 Ram, it’s amazing. Had I gone with the one ton option I was considering it would have been Ford no question, first year engine and trans held me back though. 
 

Not bashing Ford, but I had a Expedition Limited last week and really missed the Ram. The stereo alone makes the difference, not to mention how much more quiet it is.

Rams are a 3rd place truck, but they're cheap.  That was coming from him not me.  

 

Must have had the base raido in it.  The B&O in my Lariat is great

not really true I just got one few mo back . they were all with in a grand of each other apples to apples.  fiat had the best warrenty.

now leasing ram was cheep as fuck but my shit gets to many mi and to much physical abuse  for a lease 

Rebates and leases, they're as AG says  "whoring the fuck out of them". That's the only reason why they passed Chevy in sales.

Maintenance costs were one of the main reasons I went with the 5.0 instead of an EB.  If the turbos shit the bed that's 2 grand in just parts. I can get a low mile 5.0 swapped in my truck for that kind of money.

Won't have a new truck for awhile.  No way I'm spending $40k on a truck with what I do with it.  Can't imagine dumping a yard of gravel in the back of a brand new truck.

You can get used turbo’d for the ecoboost as well.  Couple hundred bucks with a warranty according to ebay

The only reason why Rams are outselling GM is because they're damn near giving them away.

My buddy just priced out an F150, Silverado and Ram and the Ram is the cheapest of the 3 to replace his '17 Silverado. He said Ram is also the worst. He said and I quote "compared the the F150 and Silverado, they're garbage. They're no where near as good of a truck as an F150 or Silverado/Sierra. Only reason I'm considering getting one is because it's so cheap and my boat doesn't weigh much.  If I was towing more , I'd for sure get the 3.5EB or 6.2 Chevy. The Ram is weak. Feels like driving a 4 cylinder compared to the other 2"

Let's not be a simpleton now ...

I dunno yet, he is waiting to here.  I guess he was trying to fix a misfire issue. The new plugs didnt work so he put the stock plugs back in.

If the truck is under warranty why the fuck didn't he have FOMOCO fix it?

I see you're still massively butt hurt over the diesel that you modified and ruined and Ford denied your warranty on.  Poor little Wince
