Or, here is the Diesel Failing. In a lighter vehicle. With an aerodynamic trailer. With the oil overheating. Yawn.
Diesel Fail
Torqueless Ford with a box full of junk.
And yet it averages 60, and no oil overheating... (and the post 2013 F150's are MUCH quieter, btw)
Which will last longer? Probably the one that does not have temperature issues. I'm not sure how 1000# heavier ram is going to keep up to the Jeep. I guess we know why Ram won't loan one out.
And I'm no Ram hater. I gave it props for being the one to have in 2014 if you're buying a base engine truck. I'm a hater of gutless vehicles and donkey economics.
In 2015, the f150 2.7 heavy payload will be the cheapo engine way to go now...
