Ram or Toyota
we're down to a couple of choices that fit our budget
a 4 year old Toyota tundra, big v8, 4wd, all the usual bells and whistles, 40,000 miles, $28000
new (demo) ram 1500, hemi, 6 speed 1500, 4wd, same bells and whistles, 4000 miles, $33000
im partial to the Toyota because of their reputation and good resale, dw doesn't care either way
towing capacities are virtually the same(payload and gross)
Toyota is far more refined in every respect, fuel mileage is very close
crawling around under the Toyota is an eye opener, built like a brick ****house!
our tt is 4060 lbs loaded with 480 on the tongue including the hitch system, 3100 dry from the manufacturer
we tow 8-9000 km per year, mostly high speed(100-105 kmh)
