I just ordered a 15 RAM LongHorn Dually Crew with factory rear air fully loaded.
First 98 RAM 380K and still going strong my Son now owns. Recent 98 RAM 330K runs great. Trading in Current 11 HO Dually LongHorn 55k flawless just want bigger/better.
So, new RAMS have SAE J2807 certified ratings to back up what they claim not just what they claim.
With Crew Dually and the True Medium Duty Aisin Trans and the True Medium Duty CUMMINS they are rated to "tow nearly 30K".
Excellent record on the injection pump compared to others.
Fish will cone on here and talk about the CUMMINS being a "Tractor Engine" and cite engine failures but those will be if someone has installed a tuner and done deletes.
Yes Tractor engine, Bus engine, Boat engine, stationary generator engine, motorhome engine and the list goes on and on.
Oh and it was a good enough engine for the F650/750's thru the 2015 Model year.
The newer RAM Trucks have been VERY TROUBLE FREE.
I gave my opinion without bashing another brand!
Actually those tractor engine statements were said by "Gale Banks" not me....
But what Fish will come on here to talk about is the fact the RAM truck is not built in the US and is a foreign company now. Ford trucks are built in the good ol USA by an American company, but I'm sure cummins98v will dismiss that as not being important as a lot of folks do these days.

Yes you did quote Gale Banks but you did not portray it as a positive as he did.
Read the Ford website for one the F650/750 site they are proud to say "assembled in USA". That means there MANY parts that are not US Made in fact a large enough percentage that they can not say MADE IN USA.
And please when you spout USA made don't forget to be honest and mention that the PowerStroke Scorpion is Made in Mexico.
I have not dismissed anything about the HD RAM's being "Assembled " in Mexico. I wish they weren't!
The fact is Ford is partially owned by many foreign companies so none are any longer all American if you get right down to it.
Bottom line I am happy with what I bought and so are you.
I gave my reasons.
