IdaD, what was the config of your RAM? Do you like the 2500 better than the 250? what were your reasons for going with the RAM over the 250?
Crew cab with 6.5' bed, 4wd and 68RFE transmission. It's a Tradesman trim level but it has everyhing a base SLT model has options wise, so it's basically the equivalent to an XLT level Ford. Sticker on it was $51k. Options: popular equipment, chrome, uconnect 5.0, trailer brake controller, gear LSD, auto trans, cold weather, protection, and probably a couple of other minor things I'm forgetting offhand.
I do like it better than the Super Duty, but I did also like the Super Duty. The main thing the Powerstroke has over the Cummins is it's faster, but the Cummins isn't a slouch and I prefer its lower RPM nature.
The main three demerits I had on the Ford were (1) I don't trust the engine as much, (2) the chassis is very outdated and it's obvious if you drive them back to back, and (3) the equivalent Ford was only a little more expensive but the lower trim levels on them felt like fleet trucks to me, whereas my Ram has a nice interior despite being a lower trim level.
I've never owned a Ram before and going into it I assumed I'd end up with a Ford, but these current HD Ram trucks really surprised me. I'd recomend checking them out.
