Where Ram's go to die!
My Ram left behind at the Ford dealer. I bought it new in 2002 and drove it daily until I traded it in for my 2018 F150. Even the 2002 design looked good.
if that were the case, the tundra should be the best selling truck out there. both gm and fca have had issues with their cylinder deactivation systems. i read a thread last night on another forum (not brand specific) about a guy with a 12,000 hemi ram that had cam/lifter failure.
on the topic of the op, looks like they are reusing the old cab on the HD rams.
Interesting they didn’t change the body but most all the other aspects of the truck are new.
As far as the consumer report things go, that site noted the 2011-16 super duty and 2007+ tundra as the higher reliable trucks and I have happened to own both of those models and can attest they are bulletproof. Never any issues, almost absurdly reliable (gas super duty).
Who is exaggerating anger? I made a statement and I stand by it! If you and mr thunderstruck don't agree thats fine because you don't have to.
But responding like some of you do...
I hear you!
I've read enough posts from you these few years to give you good credit for what you write.
I know you were mostly a happy owner before this truck, which apparently has been displeasing you enough to fuel the harsh postings you've been doing lately, that's why I thought you were just exaggerating.
I accept you stand your ground! We can certainly have different opinions on a subject and get along well talking about it.
You like Raptors and I wouldn't want one. Maybe you don't like the stripes on my truck and I'd think you'd have a lack of really good taste
Obviously my vouch for reliability on Ford trucks, can't be solely based on my ownership, but the people I relate to in my field of work, most daily drive trucks from all brands and we share talk and a common empathy for trucks. Fords are the less problematic and the most in number, but the only one that was a "POS" on the talks, was a '12EB who's owner abused the heck out of it, but neglected regular maintenance. He loved it and wanted to keep it without spending on proper care. Ended up switching for a RAM 1500 and is trying to take good care of it. Maybe because his old truck got a good "expensive" repair job and has been serving the new owner without incidents for the last year - same performance as the 5 other EBs in the group!
I like the 2020 Ram HD, but I would not trade my F150 for this truck as I am certain that it would not fit in the places where I park my F150 when I am working in the NYC Metro. Those parking garages don't have that much clearance and maneuvering a truck any longer than a standard bed SCrew would be nearly impossible.
I have to disagree.. In my opinion I think the new Ram (and old ram, and all ram's) are the WORST looking truck BY FAR. I even think the Tundra looks way better than the Ram.
Obviously some bias, but I think the 2015+ F-150s are some of the best looking trucks, by any company, in quite some time.
I seriously hate the Ram look.
The inside is nice, but the exterior is just awful.
The new Chevy's look better than there, with the except of the weird front fender / headlight thing going on.
To each his own. Thats why they call it an option.
I'm glad we have options, but someone would have to pay me to drive an ugly Ram.
Wow!!! You certainly are an example of how much someone doesn't know.
Am I complaining or simply making a statement?
I think given my experiences with the Ford engines over the past 7 years I'm pretty qualified to make that statement.
If you don't like it you can always hit the back button as opposed to making immature comments like you do.
and here you are making a statement about engines like it applies to everyone. I have enough experience with good ford engines starting with a 99 expedition that currently has 243000 miles on it with no major issues outside of a couple of coils an 04 explorer with 200k on it when sold. my old 06 f150 with 217k when I sold it to a friend that is still using it to this day. my dads old 2010 f150 that hit 200k when we traded it for his recently gotten 16 platinum and my old 11 that had 163k when I traded for my 17 3.5 10speed that has 9700 problem free miles on it. to me they have all been reliable engines. also I am going on my second Michigan winter with no door latch issues.
