Wow, you'd think the hot shotters would be using something other than Ram/Cummins if they're falling apart all along the roadside, but I seem to see just as many as ever. Maybe it isn't as big a deal as the youtubers, desperate for clicks and views, would want us to believe. Just a thought.
They are... seeing less and less Ram's every year now. And you never would see a HD Ram Hemi and now I see them daily. Heck even Ram service trucks are now popular with the Hemi which is unimaginable.
So what part of TX are you hiding??? Oil field independents hauling gooseneck big flatbeds are nearly ALL RAM/Cummins in the greater Midland area. Maybe they don't work them too hard. :B
The Houston TX area (The oil and gas capital of the US), I10, South Texas and the gulf coast.
By far the Ram's that are on the road are Gen 4 trucks. I think we've known the answer for quite some time now and why, just decided to report it now.
During the 7.3PSD days it was probably 90% Fords and the rest Dodge.
During the 6.0PSD/6.4PSD days it was probably 5% Fords and the rest Dodge.
During the 6.7PSD to current I would estimate 45% Fords and the rest Ram.
