With only 4500 miles on the ford the MPGs are approaching the Dodges figures. After I get 100000 miles on the Ford I can tell if it’s a good truck--but it is looking good so far.

The new Fords have a very good transmission in the torque shift as does RAM if you option for the Aisin HD transmission. All three of the latest vintage offerings are miles ahead of the 2005 RAM with a 48RE tranny. They are all 6 speeds now.
