In the market for a new truck and I'm not brand loyal. I'm curious about the Ford and how it compares in reliability and fuel mileage with the other trucks. Right now I'm torn between Ram and Ford. ...

I found that fuel mileage really does not matter much to me. I spend more on insurance than on fuel, considering I only averaged about 5,000 miles a year on my motorhome. I bought gas, as I really did not want to deal with the huge oil changes on the Cummins or Ford diesels of the time.
If you need the power, then diesel is probably more a requirement, than a option. Both make a equal huge amount of power compared to what was around in 1994. Back then it was acceptable to drive up the hills at 40 MPH, while now it seems that the owner is upset if taking a 6% grade at less than 55 MPH and not being able to run the A/C at the same time is just not right.
