I've had great luck with my 2015 CTD Ram. If I were buying a new truck today, I think I'd go Duramax for the non-CP4 injection pump and more gears in the transmission. Although I do think the 2021 Rams dropped the CP4 so I would still consider it and truthfully a 6 speed trans isn't exactly torture even if it's a bit of a drawback these days. Lots of guys love Powerstrokes and they're very capable trucks but diesel Fords aren't really my thing, just my opinion on that point based on my perception of track record.
