They are both very good, very strong trucks. FishOnOne will always have a negative Ram story to bring up, so I will bring up a positive one. A former coworker has a 2010 Ram 5500 that he uses in his tow truck business. It is the Tradesman trim with vinyl floors. It sees severe service every day, and he loves it. In fact, his wife works as a service writer at a Ford dealer, and she recommended the Ram because she was seeing too many significant Powerstroke diesel issues every day in her job. Believe it or not, but that is a true story.
Just calling a spade a spade my friend... I don't disagree with your statement above either! :W
Having said that I got a lot of experience with some of these trucks in one shape or another. In addition the story I reported was a result of my curiosity with other peoples experience especially ones that own multiple brands. The funny part of the story I didn't tell was my wife was walking with me when I introduced myself to the guy to see if he was interested in talking trucks. Once his face lit up and was happy to entertain my questions, my wife rolled her eyes and politely excused herself. :B
