Good morning fellas, ladies! hope everyone is well. While this isn't a "which should I buy" thread I thought it would be an interesting thread to start to get opinions from both sides. my story.......

To me, any of the new trucks are nice! It makes a lot of difference on use of the truck, as to all the options. I mainly use my Ford to tow, or get me to an area to hunt. When I built/ordered from my dealer, I told him I just needed electric start and AC. Well of course I wanted nice comfortable seats, so XLT option minimum. With this I get many things not needed, such as stereo controls in st whl, lots of computer stuff, and of the course the telephone button on st whl, that I do use once in a while.
I guess what I am getting at, it is a truck, but has gone up in price partly due to people wanting so many options, such as the mention above "cowboy Cad".
I have never owned a Dodge or now Ram. I don't want to make my Ram friends upset, but in the earlier years, I often wondered why anyone would spend the money to buy a new Dodge truck, when it cost about the same for a Ford or Chevy.
I also thought with the early diesel trucks being so noisy, 7.3 or 5.9, who would buy a new truck, that sounded like it was going to fall apart from day one?
Ok, so a lot has changed over the years, and my long time Ford dealer now is a Ram dealer too. He owns a Ford dealership, and a Chevy dealership as well, in another city. I can deal with him, the actual owner, a long time family friend, on any of the big three. I like my Ford 6.2 gas, for what I use it for. If I needed a diesel, I would surely give the Cummins/Ram a test drive, and if they are now as nice as most owners are saying, a plain, but comfy model Ram would likely be my choice.
