Ford has still not updated the website for online configuration. I see some have been able to order. My question is will trim levels above mid Lariat be available now?

I feel the F450 had a bit tighter turning radius since it has a slightly shorter wheelbase. I am not disappointed with the Ram yet but honestly I have only done one trip. Over the next few weeks I will get more time to gain more experience. Since I bought it, it has pretty much sat as I had other projects to focus on.

No I will be keeping my Ram 5500. Too much invested in it. My only real complaint with it is it does not track as well as my F450. I will be taking it in for an alignment soon and that should help. I was just curious if Ford finally will have more features for F550's. Being a long time Ford guy switching to Ram has been a bit weird.


How does the turning radius feel to you comparing your 2022 5500 Ram to your 2017-2019 Ford F-450?

I realize that there are a few small differences in AF, CA, WB, and WCA dimensions between the two trucks, but what I am curious about is how the steering maneuverability differences feel in your hand, now that you have had sufficient experience operating both vehicles.

Which vehicle do you prefer turning around in?

Maybe in 5 years or so I might consider switching back. But more likely I will be used to the Ram and happy with it.

My dealer told me they placed an order for a Platinum for me back in December. Ford won’t start building the higher trim levels till, I think, April.
