Out here in the desert Soutwest, Cummins is the clear king at the sites we've been at. I've been pricing RAMs since I'll likely go that route next time around, and yeah, the stickers are a bit nutty. Why the RAM? To get an F250 or 350, or a GMC for that matter, to fit in my garage, I'd have to give up the crew cab. RAM with its shorter box and front clip fits with ease. RAM Crew Cab is the same length as a Ford Supercab. Ford and GM are a bit too "I'm gonna be a big rig when I grow up" for my tastes lately.

I honestly believe that any one of the Big 3 trucks are awesome. It really comes down to personal preference. Am I a Ford guy, Absolutely!! Do I think the others are bad, No. All of them have their quirks. And I don't think anyone of us would notice the difference between 1050 ft./lbs. vs 1100 ft./lbs.

Thanks Russ
Someday it will show up - possibly next week. Due to everything being run by computer I am thinking of calling it HAL
To the good Ram and Dodge folks. Why does the 6.7 C sound funny/ strange to me. Its rough like the cylinder timing is off. In construction I worked around a lot of inline 6 powered units and non had that offset sound. Heck my old Scout II 6 cylinder with headers sounded smoother.That's a whole lot of displacement to get out of 6 cylinders and the HO unit has a very different turbo sound too. Did they up the boost and fuel to get the numbers?
@4x4dually your right about the parts falling off the new units. I wont need to worry about rust either with my Ford.Last edited by powerscol; 04-27-2022 at 03:31 PM.

Glad you got your truck coming to you. I'm still waiting on the KR LB SRW I ordered at the end of October. Supposedly Ford will start building in 5/9 - we'll see. When did you order yours?
Like you, I priced the Ram (and a Denali). ALL ARE EXPENSIVE.
I won't get into the horsepower or 'my truck is stronger than yours' debate. It's a waste of time - any of them are way over powered and have sacrificed any reasonable fuel economy. And they will all tow an aircraft carrier up a hill. Well, at least they'll all tow whatever GD we're pulling without a problem.Larry KE4DMG

I have priced out a Ram lately. Just got it 2 weeks ago. I also priced out a comparable F-350. If you take the time to go through and match features, they were within $1,000 of each other. Payloads on comparable models are a push. I'm sure these guys look at each other's products, features, and prices.
I'll take an in-line 6 over a comparably sized V-8 any day. 7 main bearings in the 6 vs 5 main bearings in the V-8. 60° rod spacing in the 6 vs 90° rod spacing in the V-8. Anything over 5 or 6 speeds in an auto tranny is a marketing gimmick. Sure, you get a touch more MPG traded against much more frequent shifting. Let's see, do I have any more "Opinions are like … (insert body part here). Nope, sorry.
Also, as far as I could tell, you can't get a dually Ford with a short bed. Another 16" in length to deal with if you want a full size cab. This is probably the only real, valid differentiator here.
I think they are all gorgeous and everybody loves their choice (a little subconscious "I made the right choice" post-justification going on there, I think).
I am proud to say I have NEVER owned a Ford product.2021 Solitude 380FL-R

PS. if Toyota made a 1 Ton dually, this would have been a much easier decision. 14 years with a T100 and 10 years with a Tundra and $0, yes $0, of maintenance cost other than oil, filters, drive train grease, and tires. 24 years of truck ownership without a single visit to a dealer. I fear those years are over.
