Stro, your the guy I really want to hear from. I am torn between another Superduty or the new Ram. this is my last truck as I am retiring in four years, so my DW says no more changes. I have owned a F250 V10 (most reliable truck ever); a Chevy Durmax, F350 6.0L (worst truck ever). I bought my DW a 2012 Grand Cherokee and love the interior.
I think Ram is the best truck overall but I am just concerned about the real daily pickup and go from a stop, drivability around town and if under load it has the same Ommphf as the new Ford diesel. Please help an old man out and give me updates around town, highway and towing vs how the Ford diesel preformed. Feel free to pm me if you like. Thanks a ton
I'll try to remember to do that once it get it broken in and pull the 5er this spring. I can tell you already that my Ford 6.7 FELT more powerful, it really put you back in the seat when you stepped on it hard. But mine had 3.73 gearing, whereas the Ram has 3.42. I thought, during the test drive(s) that the Ram was much more refined and smoother feeling. One thing I'm very curious about is fuel mileage. I was averaging about 16 mpg in the Ford just daily use, about 10 pulling. I'm hoping the Ram does that well!
