just wait for the new dodges coming...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I would definitely have to say this is a step backwards for them.

The Ram may look big but they are small inside. Much smaller than the F150. My ladies prefer the Ford over the Ram and we drove both.

That also begs another question. The Silverado seems to sit lower than both the Ford and the Ram. Is that just sheet metal and my imagination or do they really sit lower?

For me personally, that would be the end of discussion. I like the semi-rough ride of my lightweight FX4. But it's a personal choice. Sounds like you like the F150 better.

I did the same with my truck. I bought 2016 4wd Supercab 5.0L new last April. Then a month later a coworker buys an Extended cab Dodge 2015 2wd Hemi. I rode in his and was instantly happier about my truck, from comfort, ride quality, power, noise, etc. The only good thing about his was getting in and out of the back seat. His has the small rear door that opens normally and independent of the front. As mine has the Ford suicide door.

Every Friday a group of us from work go to lunch together. 90% of the time We take my truck. sometimes 5 adults in my Supercab. And we're not cramped in there.


If it's the outside look hanging you up. Have a look around the 2015-present threads about aftermarket hoods, wheels, grilles, leveling, etc.

there's some pretty mean "aggressive" looks out there.

Compensating for lack of design, power, mpg, comfort, towing, payload.........kind of like men in sports cars and women on Instagram.
