Honestly I don't hate the new fords, but don't love them either. the only thing I have seen that I liked was the new dash and bigger sun roof, aside from that I will keep my antique 2016 model for a few more years.

What's funny to me is everyone around here that are ford freaks are raving about the new dash. Looks to me like ford just copied from ram. My 2013 had that same dash as does my 2016. Lol ford pushes that they went all aluminum to make lighter and stronger when they still have the heaviest truck of the three and just now caught up with the strength. Other than their dually they don't have any payload in their 350'system because of a pitiful gvwr.

Go back even further and you'll see that the 2010 ram interior looked very similar to Fords 2009 F150 dash.

Also Ford's F350 SRW now has a new and specific rear end and a different leaf pack than the F250.

As for interior, I got to drive a F150 Lariet for a day a few weeks ago and I was really impressed with the interior quality and seats. Going back into my 2012 Super Duty the next day felt/looked less refined. The Sync 3 system is first class. Having said that the seats in both trucks feel equally comfortable so that was a wash. The crew cab is a lot bigger on the new trucks as well.

So what you are saying Fish is that the 2009 F150 copied the Rams dash too? The 2010 dash is the same as the 2006 dash in the HD trucks.

You said in an earlier post that they took the weight savings and reinvested it back into the other stuff. Makes no sense that they supposedly made a stronger truck but didn't give it the numbers to handle more than the older weaker truck. What gives?

Sounds to me like the only thing Ford is not playing catch up on is their sales but hey, McDonalds does good too. ;)

So can we just agree Ram has not changed their dash in a decade :B

Even McDonald's innovates more than that...
