I am hopefully goiung to pick up a a new TV next year. I like to keep my stuff for 10 years. Currently have a 2008 CTD that other than emissions ( problem solved ) has treated me well but want something different. I really want a new F250/350 but I am pretty scared by their 6.7 - should I be?

Don't just talk about it do it!

I liked the 6.7 Very strong quiet motor, and had no problems with it. I no longer have it tho because it was more truck than I needed and I got tired of the maintenance issues and costs.

is there candy inside this horse?

I'd wait for the next gen ram. Just my opinion. The cord is a nice truck. It is a bit of a gamble. Many people don't have problems, but those who do have problems out of warranty or if warranty denies claim are in a world of hurt.

We have a 2012 F350 6.7. We've driven/towed out west and back and snowbird in Florida, and use it for our daily trip runner.. With regular maintenance we have had no problems. Love it and rides comfortably when not towing.

Lets beat on that horse again - new ford 6.7 track record

Ram mirrors "UP" work very well, down not so much.

Yep. I prefer the Ford mirrors 90 percent of the time also.

Enjoy mine 100 percent since they are up 100 percent of the time. ;)

Which means it looks hideous 100 percent of the time. ;)

BTW.... Remember when in doubt.... Tow Mirrors Out! :B

HaHAHA!! The guy in the first video is driving a Ram. I feel the same way as he does, but don't express it with the violent undertones. I think turned out ram mirrors are hideous, unless the truck is towing.

One really meeds "HIPS" to balance the "ANTLERS" look!

I only put antlers up when towing. The convex mirror needs to be manually adjusted between antlers up and down. I also added a small spot mirror to the main arm. Chris

Interesting. Someone challenges your comments, your only response is to tell them to block you.

Rather contrary to the intent of a forum is it not?

Ram mirrors are hideous looking up, down, or sideways. Prefer Ford's and GM's.

He is constantly being a D**K on another forum so I am tired of hearing from him, simple as that. It just gets old. "FISH" Is another story we have a love hate relationship!!! :B

And somehow name calling is appropriate , that block button works both ways. Did you ever think just maybe you get old.

All of the big 3 are very,very good right now. We are in the promised land of diesel pick ups. I bought a Ford because it fit me the best. That is all, it's seat and steering wheel, with the adjustable pedals were just right. Price is the other big consideration.

I like the tow mirrors on my F450.

I'm really apprehensive about pushing this button though, but my finger keeps telling me to push it.

I just leave mine up because I tow 70+ percent of the time. Up they work great. They work well when I'm towing my gooseneck with broken down 6.0s on it. I've towed 6 in the past couple years.

That is the same issue I have with them. Purely from a design and utility standpoint the Ford tow mirror is superior to Ram.

Agree with both of you. But the mirrors do stick out a little more flipped up. I can get in my garage with them down but not up. It would be nice to have the same mirror orientation in tow mode or regular.
