The Ecoboost Fords were nice trucks, but here is why I went with a Ram:
1.The deal was LOT better with the Dodge dealer vs. Ford by a significant thousands of dollars amount less.
2. The Hemi pulls a trailer better than the V-6, and the same gas mileage.
3. Being a non-electronic person, I do not have or use a smart phone and barley respond on my desk top, and I could not figure out the Ford dash electronics in the 3 late Fords I had?
4. The Ram ride and handling is much more to my liking, quiet and smooth!
I will strongly agree to comment #4 , my 17 Ram is more than I expected as far as the ride quality , I have the Laramie so it has heated/ventilated seats,heated steering wheel , etc, a lot of luxury in a truck , NTM , the stereo is WOW !!!!
Comment #2 , I haven't towed with it yet , did order it with 3.92's/limited slip/ built in trailer brake controller to do so. Very quick with the 3.92's !!!!
Comment #1 , agree , the Dodge dealer I dealt with went out of their way to make it happen , I did a factory order , and still pulled $9K off window sticker .
A friend rented a F150 last year for a trip we went on , how aggravating that the thing shuts off at every light you stop at !!!!!! Hope there would be a way to disconnect that !!!
