From Ram to a Ford

I posted a few weeks back about selling my 14 Ram MC DRW for a 3/4 ton Ram or Ford. I have since purchased a 2019 Ford 3/4 ton Platinum.
Here are my opinions after 2300 miles in the Ford.
Ford-
- more comfortable seats and cabin.
- smoother ride
- tons of power and pretty fast
- transmission shifts smoother then the Ram Aisan no clunking.
- massage seats are awesome
- much better sunroof.
- very nice tailgate with step

Ram
- Cummins is a better pulling motor IMO, but it was a DRW compared to a SRW and there’s no comparison, as well as different gears and the Aisan was a very good towing trans.
- better EB over the Ford
- megacab has more storage space
- better sound sound system
- some features are better then the other and vise versa.
- almost cried when they took my Ram.

I am very happy with my new Ford. I just hope I get the same reliability as my last two Rams. I’m not brand loyal because these manufactures don’t care about me or what I think. I buy the truck that feels good to me when I test drive. That’s why I choose the Ford this time around.
BTW all of these trucks are awesome but very expensive.

    Cooled or ventilated?


    Well I know on our 2016 I would need to look and see how it is stated it, but mine sure feel cool when on.

    Now not sure the massage seat is a good idea, long day heat and massage would equal me going to sleep.
  • Clunking AISIN ? Never heard that one.

    DRW to 250 smoother ride. Don’t doubt that!
  • They are all so close now in power, performance, reliability, bells and whistles, etc. that it all comes down to minor things that sway a person one way or the other. Can’t go wrong with any.
