Hybrid, from your past posts, I would be willing to bet good $$ that the likelihood of you buying a RAM is about the same as me buying a Ford. Who are you trying to fool?

From what I've seen, hybrid hunter is far more likely to buy a ram than you are a ford. Really think about it... Your seething hatred towards ford comes across loud and clear. I've not seen the same attitude towards ram from hybrid hunter. He may not be a fan of the ecodiesel, but at least he doesn't unilaterally poopoo an entire brand like others on here.

I'm a bit of a numbers guy. Ram has sorta lost their way IMO. Low payload and the ED which to me, is too compromised. I have nothing against the ram, and it's hard to argue against the performance / value equation of the pentastar/9speed combo. But when some here are pretending the Ram ED is somehow ideal as a tow rig (especially when exceeding ratings on a half ton is easy to do) I have an issue with that, especially when other brands lead in those areas, for cheaper.

For a somewhat pokey truck,(well the pokiest on the market anyhow) that gets great mileage, it's a home run. I am not up for pretending it's going to be great at towing the house on wheels that most of us use. If I recall correctly, it requires around 110-120hp to tow an average rv at 65-70 mph, plan accordingly.
