Are those of you that are comparing your experiences with the RAM comparing the newest model against the newest model F150 or similiar trim / engine / tranny models? The 2013 RAM got Truck of the Year. Some models get 26mpg now I think. The interior got a huge upgrade and is arguably nicer than the F150. If you like the exterior (and I do) then it's definately a contender.

Obviously I still bought the F150 but I can't deny that the RAM has a lot going for it.

Well said. That was really the point of my original question, should have clarified. Prior year Rams had issues (not that every truck doesn't) but the 2013 is totally redesigned, especially on the interior. It's a tough choice, but very helpful feedback from most.

The Farmer commercial? Really, Paul Harvey. How does that make there Trucks built to last or reliable. thats what Dodge is all about, trying to spend there money on commerials like they do all the time. If they would put that money in there products (Ram trucks) they wouldnt need to do an off the wall commercial that had nothing to do with a truck and its ability to do the job. Sorry didnt mean to pop anyones bubble but it was a lame Iacocca effort. Great for Farmers but nothing for the truck. In my book it was money terribly spent,a bunch of porsche driving Donnie Dooshbags in a room saying thats was great, and none of them drive a truck.

Is the 2013 Ram still a "4th Gen" Ram ?

The question I want answered is does Fiat own the Ram pickup brand? Did you ever drive a Fiat? They are a POS and they don't last

dinorousch, my dad years ago bought a Fiat and I couldnt beleive it, it was the biggest POS ever built, 4 speed manual, the only way he could get it started was to roll down the hill and pop the clutch, FIAT, europe can keep them.

Dodge along with Chevy was part of Government Motors! Ford didn't take the bailout and that is why I left the GM realm for a new Ford. I have owned them all and I have to say the Dodge quality was just not there. Maybe the new 2013 is better, but not for me!
