Ford 6.7L Powerstroke V8 Diesel
Wanted to get some feedback from 6.7L owners. Took a look at a DRW 8 foot bed Extended cab. Looked and sounded good. Replacing 2006 Silverado 8.1L Allison Crew Cab

Advantages of the Ford over Ram:
1. XL seats are more comfortable for me with the lumbar adjustment than the Tradesman
2. Interior cab lighting is better in the XL than Tradesman
3. Ford's have flat load floors behind the front row seats
4. The controls and buttons in the Ford are larger allowing use with gloves
5. Ford's can have manual front locking hubs allowing you run low range on dry pavement
6. Ford offered dual tanks in the shorter wheelbase (2016 Ram's now offer it)
7. Ford offers the heavier Dana 130 axle
8. I would have chosen the Super Cab Ford but had to go to a Crew Cab Ram to get enough cab storage
9. The Ford center console allows carrying 8.5x11 paper sheets flat inside while the Ram is too small for US or metric paper sizes
10. Interior cab height is taller in the Ford allowing me to wear a hat when driving
11. Within 10 miles of my home are two good high volume commercial Ford dealers and one mediocre commercial Ram dealer
