Ram outsells Chevrolet.
:) Hi, I read somewhere that Ram outsold Chevrolet half tons and GM is pissed. Is this fiction, or why haven't I seen any posts about this?

I compared the 19 Limited to an 18 Platinum. RAM has stepped up the game tremendously, that interior is just fantastic from materials, to stitching to the electronics. I went with the Platinum though for several reasons.
Ram, not known for reliability
Dealerships not known for decent care
Unknown crash ratings (which recently have been done and RAM matches Ford with 5 stars)
Unknown if the rust issues have been solved
poor engine choices
lack of available payload.
No tailgate step
known for having electrical issues
Aside from the Ford having a dated interior, it is still a rather good truck and I can see why it is still #1.
6 engine choices
Highest payload and towing
over 6 million combinations that can be built (mind blowing too when one is built every 53 seconds)
very nice styling.
GM will continue to stay at the bottom unless they fire all their engineers and hire some with talent and imagination instead of coming out with the same old same old style year after year. And please, that complicated tailgate? A disaster in the making.
About the only thing I did like that GM had over both Ford and Ram was the camera system. Doesn't say much does it.
GM has by far the best gasoline engine technology.
OHC gasoline engines in the Fords are a huge reliability problem and a maintenance nightmare with the cab having to be removed to do any serious engine work.
I'm not really sure how anyone could look at these things any other way; Ford is alone in its decision to use OHC engines in American trucks.
The only GM truck I own is 31 years old and my pickup is a Ram with a diesel, just FWIW. I like the Ford interior but I would not compromise on the drivetrain just to gain that. Would not consider GM due to the IFS, which like Ford with its gas engines, they are alone in offering in HD light trucks, unless I wanted a 2wd truck.
