I was set on picking up a new fully loaded fx4 with app package yesterday, when I was waiting on them to crunch numbers I took a ram 1500 for a spin and it was a nice truck, went back to take the f150 for a spin again, and well it just felt cheap especially where u rest your elbow on that hard plastic, and unfriendly after sitting in the ram. Is there something I'm missing? Why should I get the f150 still?

 

buy the one you like trim levels mean a lot... try a platinum and you wont have hard plastic

 

Just because an interior doesn't have soft touch points, doesn't make it cheap. Cheap means everything is crap and falls apart prematurely. Ford's material may be hard to the touch, but it holds up extremely well over time and still looks new after a few years. Ram interiors may have a few soft touch points and stitched vinyl On the dash, but the top of the dashboards have been known to break down and crack underneath the vinyl. I've had the dash on an F-150 apart before and you can tell it's built well, most panels are snapped into place, then bolted down.

If you need the soft touch points, the 2015 F-150 will have a class leading interior with excellent materials.

 

Really? I liked the FX4 interior over all the others that I tried. Intersting...

 

Im surprised you thought the doge interior was nicer than the fords. Ive always thought the dodge interiors were cheesy.

 

I recently purchased a 2013 FX4 and couldn't be happier. Coming from a 2007 Chevy Suburban it's night and day difference on the interior. I can't comment on the Dodge because I don't know much about it but I am very pleased with my FX4.

 

I agree, we looked a couple years ago at the Durango and it seemed so cheap feeling. My 13 Platinum materials seem very nice. I am intrigued by the Ram and I may go look just to see what's out there.

 

The new Rams have very nice interiors. If I wasn't a Ford guy and I bought a truck just by features and first impressions, I would probably buy the Ram.

But I highly disagree about the "cheapness" of the FX trim level.

 

Won't the soft leather, or whatever, fade faster? I know I looked at a used king ranch and the center console looked really bad from where the other person was resting their arm.

 

Dodge has come a long way with their interiors. After being in a 2013 Ram Laramie a good bit (good friend has one), I can say it's just as good as my Ford's interior.
