Considering Lariat
I'm coming from a 2010 Ram and GMC before that now considering a 2015 Lariat with the 502 options package and the 3.5 Eco boost engine. Help convince me this is better than the 2015 RAM Laramie. Thanks

This depends on what you want your truck for. Are you buying a grocery-getter or a towing/hauling capable vehicle? According to the RAM door stickers I was looking at last week, the total available payload capacity of any 2015 Ram half-ton is 1900 pounds (prior to the weight of accessories and options) "if properly equipped." For me, that takes the Ram out of consideration. A properly-equipped F150 Lariat can have up to 2910 payload (prior to the weight of accessories and options).

My opinion is other than the Ram's dual exhaust i just didn't care for the looks of the truck and hated the shift selector[turning a ****]. I had a 13 Lariat and loved it and the ride quality and power so i went with the 2015 3.5 Lariat again. Man i am really lovin this truck.

Me personally think appearance of the Ram is sharp. With that said its the only good thing I have to say about it, I've owned 3 and all 3 spent more time at the dealer then I drove it. Granted my last one was an 02 but family members still own them. From what I understand nothing has changed and most are no older then 2 yrs old. The most recent my nieces fiancé just bought a 15 and hates it wishes he got the Ford but Dodge gave him a price he couldn't refuse,basically gave it to him. Being the good Uncle I am I let him sit in my 15 and even gave him a tissue to wipe away the tears lmao

I can convince you to buy it. But can you afford it ?
After it all set and done. My loaded Lariat came just under a tad below $60K including 6% vehicle sale tax. My previous trucks : (1) 2008 Tundra CrewMax SR5 5.7 $39K (2) 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Crewcab 5.7 $38K. Crazy to say that I have the ***** to spend $60K for a truck this time around.
