Ford or Ram?

I've been looking at the Ram and found one I liked, drives great and loved the interior compared to my 07. I also drive a Ford 250 diesel torch shift and wow Its quick and noticeable extra horsepower. The Ram had the Aisin tran and I heard they are geared lower in 1st-3rd gears but I Love the Cummins. I really like the Ford also but it a few thousand higher priced. Didn't look at the GM because I want to the larger crew cab and theirs is a little smaller compared to the other two. The Ram is a 2014 left over and is $12K off sticker and the Ford is 2015. I have some thinking to do, and just thought I would share.

Ford diesels have tow haul mode with an engine exhaust brake. Very efficient.

I saved at least $12k in late 2005 on my Dodge Ram. Does the Ford come with an exhaust brake?

Compare price by calling Dave Smith motors in Kellogg,ID. They are the largest Ram truck dealer in the US. 12K off of a left over I think you could do better.

You'll get the one you like the best I'm sure. Any new truck is always nice.
