Their frame has caught up to the competition. Much more Rigid now. They've also re-invested the weight savings into adding more mass to the components, basically stronger leafs/axles/bearings, etc...
They surpass the competition in technology, but I personally don't like having too much in electronics.
Also, neat factoid. The cab section (firewall to rear wall) is the exact same as the F-150. So they're taking a page from what the competitors are currently doing and re-using the same cab structure to get better economies of scales with the aluminum. Helps to spread the cost of development and the superduty gets a good interior to boot as well. Nice thing is they keep the bed and front end unique to the superduty, which is more a subtle difference for RAM and GM products. I like it, and if the 2017 was on sale back in 2013, I can honestly say I don't know if I'd have a RAM.
