Fact is Ford is a US based company that is still ran by the Ford family and Ram/fiat is a foreign company that is ran by macaroni. In addition it's comical that you brag that your B&W hitch is "Made in the USA" but you always leave out that nasty detail that your ram truck is "Made in Mexico" by a foreign brand.
Spin it however you like.
BTW...Your like a liberal in that 2+2= Whatever feels good.

Fish, your post here is accurate. However, and please correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to recall in a recent post that you stated you run Michelin tires on your truck. The fact is that Michelin is not a US company. They do build tires in the US, but they are definitely not a US company. Goodyear is a US company. They build tires in the US and in other countries, but they are a US company. In addition, Goodyear produces the synthetic rubber in the US that is used in those tires that are produced here in the US and at their plants in other countries. Don't argue with me on this - this is the business I am in. If you really want to walk the walk on doing business with US companies (which is something I respect as well), then you should change your brand of tire next time around. Heck, if you're nice, I might even offer you one of my employee discount codes.
Sorry to hijack the thread. You may return to your normal programming.
My truck came from the factory with Michelin tires and now I'm running Goodyears. :W
Thanks in advance on that discount offer. I do agree that buying "Made in the USA" and equally important buying from US based companies is the respectable thing to do.

Congratulations and good choice. You would have been happy with any of the diesels, but I think you'll be particularly happy with the Cummins. :B
Thanks. I believe that's true about the other brands. The Cummins and engine brake is why got Ram the nod.
A tip of the hat to Cummins12V98 for showing me that I needed to test drive more than one brand.
You are welcome, I was skeptical when I bought my 98 12V from a Friend. At 360K I sold it to my Son. Same friend turned me on to the B&W hitches and I thank him to this day for steering me in the right direction on both.

After much research and hand wringing, we pulled the trigger on a truck purchase today and get to pick it up next Friday. It seems perfect for what we're towing. It's a '16 Ram Laramie CCLB dually in Luxury Brown; options include:
AISIN trans
3.42 gearing
5th wheel towing package
Air bag leveling system
LED bed lighting
Leather bucket seats
Heavy duty snow plow prep
Cargo view camera
I believe the air bag suspension rides a little nicer than non-air bag trucks I drove and the AISIN shifts great, too. ...really dig that truck. Can't wait to get it out there and work it some. It's going to be a long week!!
VERY nice. You do know pictures are required.
