Say what?

I fixed it myself in 2 days and it was only down longer b/c it was over the course of Christmas Weekend...and Shit wasnt open. And the dealer I bought it from are pieces of shit and wouldn't own up to there issues of selling it with a dented driveshaft.

She runs like a champ now...and It's way better than my F150.

Way better in what regard? Not offroad or longevity.

I would say Dodge has the market on highway comfort and quietness, not off road or payload or longevity. Though after 2009, they are pretty similar in highway refinement.

Well, I only had my F150 for a little over a year...And I have yet to hit that Mark with my Ram.

But Both trucks offroad are Huge Motherfuckers and I'd choose an Old Yota/Suzuki/Jeep before taking either one of my trucks off road consistently. My ram is damn near 10 feet long and unless its a huge open pit I would be limited with Manuervablity. Same thing with my Old F150...I took it down a few access roads I had nearby but once it started to tighten up I had to stop backup and turn around bc I just couldnt fit down the rest of the trail.

But yes, The F150 had nothing in it except a CD player. My Ram is Fully loaded. But Those things aside, I like the feel of the Ram better. The motor has more feel behind it and the inside is nicer than my ford was. I'm not driving the thing for Offroad Capability...And longevity is something I have to wait awhile to find out. But for my purposes it's been great

Yes many times, but not the 2009 which was a huge change.

In reality, it comes down to looks preference, fuel economy and cost as all three of the Big three makes have the full size truck market. And they have it for a reason.
