2014 Gas F250 vs, Ram 2500

Decided from an earlier post to get rid of my 2005 F250 diesel 6.0,posted it on Craiglist yesterday morning and sold it the same day.

Now for some decisions:

Ram: 2014 2500 4dr 4WD Crew Cab 169 Tradesman 4 x4 ENGINE: 6.4L V8 MID DUTY 8cyl Gasoline engine.
Drove one this afternoon because I never had. Not bad,

Familiar with the F250 and that also drives nice.

What are the pro's and cons of both?

What would you buy? I am buying gas, not diesel and will be pulling a 26 foot trailer.

Im a Ford guy but the HEMI 6.4 is pretty Sick so I'd get the RAM.

I see the Ram recommends premium gasoline. It won't take regular?

I like the Ford chassis and running gear way more than the Ram. But, my Ram's driver's seat was more comfortable after several hours on the road. After having surgery on my tail end two years ago, tail bone comfort trumps all else. Both are good trucks. Personal preference. The Ford will accept a double din stereo DVD unit. The Ram is proprietary.

Pretty similar trucks, so I think it is which one you like the best! Or is it which one the DW likes best! Chris

I am a Dodge / RAM guy, so that is what I would buy. That said, this is a great time to be in the market for a new truck. I really don't think you could go wrong with either.
