Default shouldn't have stopped at the dodge dealer

Just about ready to buy a 2010 lariat supercrew. Stopped and looked at a 2011 dodge sport crew (small back seat), had a great interior, nav, backup cam, 3:92 gears, custom hood, 20 inch chrome rims,media center,class IV, trailer brake controller, pearl red crystal paint, remote start, spray in liner, well you get the idea. Just doesn't have leather, and a full back seat. Well the thing is it is just over $2k cheaper that the 10 ford with my trade and rebates. Now the confustion sets in LOL.

This is probably the easiest decision of your life. F - or - D???? When you put the letters together it spells FORD which should be taken as a sign from God. Go for the Lariat man. I am more than satisfied with mine. I rode in a new Ram fully loaded about a week ago and the handling doesn't even compare and the suspension is bouncy. Subsequently I took that owner for a ride in my truck and well I'll let you draw your own conclusions there. Good luck.

Easy one - Go back to your Ford dealer and tell them your dilemma. I'm sure they can pull 2k out of their behind

2K is a small price to pay for getting a better quality vehicle and spending less time in the shop down the road, heh. Everyone i know with a dodge is always having one sort of problem or another.

Purely speaking cosmetics, the Ram does look nice. I would never buy one though as the are pieces of junk.

You can polish a turd, but underneath its still a turd.

That sums it up for my feelings too. Ford didn't need our tax dollars to fix their books. I'll admit that the Dodge trucks look really nice but, I still like the Fords better.

Default the Test

Ask each dealer if they would mind letting you go to the other dealer with their vehicle to do a side by side comparison. Whichever dealer says that would be fine is confident in the quality of their vehicle. That is the first step.
Next step, when you have them side by side (at the Dodge dealer I bet) take a look under the bed, inspect the cargo stickers, open the doors to the stops and see which one flexes, wiggle the dash on each, sit in the rear seat of both vehicles and look at the interior from that point of view.
I am betting after the side by side, you come away with the Ford hands down.
