A few month back I traded my 2015 KR 5.0 for a 2017 Ram Laramie which I thought I liked better at the time (caught a lot of flak here from some members). Other then the Ram my last four trucks were F-150's.


Last week I started looking for either a KR or a Platinum because I wanted all the high end electronics I had in my KR. I found a 2016 Platinum with 701A package at the right price and just got it today. It has the 3.5 EcoBoost and the 36GL tank to boot. Sync 3 is new to me and requires a bit of a learning curve.


Love the truck and I am glad to be back in a F-150.

 

Good looking truck. Take much of a hit?

 

Yeah, this!

My truck is the same color, but I have the Lariat. I love the truck. Good luck and many happy miles.

 

The hit wasn't to bad because I got the Ram at a good price since it was a demo (I was still the first registered owner).


Lost about 2K on the whole deal (KR to Ram to Platinum), what helped is that the used Platinum is worth more then a new Ram. In the end I don't care because I have all the goodies back I want plus the eco and the big tank.

 

What was it about the ram you didn't like enough to come back to ford? just wondering

 

Grass wasnt so green on the other side was it? Glad you came back from the dark side.

 

Mostly the electronics you can get in a KR or Platinum, front leg room and the flat rear floor. Other then that it is hard to describe, the F-150 just feels more substantial for lack of better terms.

 

Not sure I would call FCA the dark side since they are the #2 selling truck. At any rate I am glad to be back in a F-150.

 

FCA is third when you combine Chevy and GMC.
