Steering/Ride Quality of Big Three HD trucks

Older Dodges/Rams were vulnerable to the death wobble as older Fords. Now for 2013, the Rams have a very similar front suspension to the Ford: 3-link 2 large radius arms and a locator arm and they did some significant beefing-up of all the links. However, I only have 6,000 miles on my rig and it doesn't seem to get shaken up. I test drove a Ford Powerstroke as well and between the 13 powerstroke and 13 RAM, the steering felt the same to me on my city roads. When test driving, I purposefully run over a few manhole covers and speedbumps to get a feel for how the suspension and steering react. Sadly, I've never driven an older Ford superduty so I can't fully relate to how much better/worse the steering is. I can say that I haven't had the death-wobble yet, but as someone noted, it could just take time and the fatigue in the ball joints may allow for death wobble in the future. Time will tell.

However, in reviewing the NHTSA videos showing death wobble in the older Fords, it looked like the entire front frame and even the engine were oscillating upon initiation of the death wobble. I think the death wobble on the older Fords had something to do with the elasticity of the frame and the amount of "give" that all the other components in steering and engine mount had allowing the wobble to persist. I know on the newest RAM, the frame is completely different in design so it will be interesting to see if the wobble comes back for RAM.
