TFL Ram vs F150 Full review / comparison

In my actual experience I have had very good luck with Dodge trucks in the past period. I've had extremely bad luck with GM trucks although some have had mostly the opposite. Between Ram and F150 I'd probably go with the Ram because number one they are nice and reliable, and number two because you can probably walk away with a much better deal on the Ram in my actual experience. You can't touch a decently loaded F150 4x4 for less than $55k it seems.

Until the 2015 Ford, the Ram arguably had the "nicest" interior. The 2015 Ford really ups the ante, as the previous models were nice but getting dated inside. It doesn't mean the Ram now has a "bad" interior though.

Someone has not been in a RAM recently! Chris

I own one and I've been in one from just about every recent year (don't hurt to window shop). I've been in trims from Tradesman to Laramie. I was comparing that Outdoorsman trim to that Lariat trim. Both of those trim levels are about $10k over the base. Just from the video you can see you get a lot more with the Ford.

I was thinking the same thing. Most of the recent reviews (say, since 2010ish) give RAM top marks in comparisons regarding interior.

Oh No! More ammo for the duallie guys with toy trucks with training wheels! Chris

I suppose asking for proof of that would be as off limits as test reports about Eco-diesels? Looks like it's almost time to lock this thread so the test video drops out of site sic.

One needs to remember something re trucks. They are nothing more than tools to get a given job done. If it meets ones specs, then it is the correct tool. If not it is the incorrect tool. No different than one former local hardware store before being bought out by Lowes, had over 300 hammers on the shelf for one to buy. Hammers like trucks, come in multiple sizes shapes and forms, depending upon the item one needs to hammer/hit etc. To take a 4oz tack hammer and compare to a 5 lbs sledge, or a 32oz framing hatchet much less against a 32oz framing hammer is ridiculous. All have a purpose in life.

So far in over a dozen trucks, I have to say my 89 1 ton flatbed has been the worst of the bunch. Meanwhile I had an 86 S10, not a bad rig for its purpose......Does this mean the S10 is a better truck than the R3500. Depens upon use.

So a non turbo/supercharged rig out pulls per say speed wise a supercharged one......DOes than mean it is better. Only on that test! performance spec. The other at the end of the day, may still be the better overall truck for ones purpose.

Hence my opinion on this. And no, I do not own, nor at this time, do I plan to own a ram or equal. Prefer Chebby's me self! that was not tested in this video.

Why are you so hard up on this? Fine, you like the eco gas guzzler. Others like the VM diesel. Fine, settled, move on, time to mature!

Nothing's settled. The review was fairly balanced, the power aspect was only one area of the video. Is it just a foregone conclusion about the Ram now? I didn't even post my conclusions, but it seems now that the test reports are out, no one wants do even acknowledge they exist?

This is like a global warming discussion, you're either a believer or a moron, and the data doesn't matter. Not cool.
