No hazing here. The transmission has more gears in the dodge and the interior is quite nice. The extra gears offset the bad mpg and hemi gets. The diesel ram is thrifty but very slow. They look good....

Unless you get a smokin trade in if less than 10k difference for a new one, why....????

You may like the Rams ride with the coil springs in the rear empty they ride like a car, but loaded or pulling a heavier trailer the squat like all get out and corner ****ty. I never seen over 16 averaged 14mpg with my 12 Ram the year before the 8speed option (leveled 33 12.50 and tuner) it had 32k when I traded it for my 14 F150 and I'm getting better mpg with my lifted EB. But in the end get what makes you happy, you have to drove it daily not anyone else, we all have different priorities in what we need out of a truck and some brands mare better based on your personal priorities.

My old 12 Ram that I traded for my 14 F150. You can get both to look great, only thing I miss is the sound of my Hemi exhaust

Leave it stock! If you loved your hemi, nothing you do to that eb exhaust is going to be satisfying. I did all kinds of different set up on my eb. Nothing compares to a good olé v8 in terms of exhaust sound.

Good to know I do like the turbo sound, but it would save some $ that way and make for a happy wife haha

Catless downpipes sound good if you like turbo whistle. But I haven't heard a catback system on a Eco that I thought sounded good.
