Only Dodge I would buy is a Ram, very nice trucks. Can't go wrong with the F-150 either.

Just traded my 2011 Ram 1500 Crew Cab for my 2014 2SS/RS Camaro Convertible. Truck was great, never had any problems. But it wasn't much fun to drive and only got 11 MPG. Other than that, I'd buy another one if I needed a truck.

I borrows my dads 2012 quad cab 4x4 Ram, a few months ago for a couple weeks. It is a fantastic truck! Compared to my 2012 F150 I had, IMO the Ram rides a little smoother. I still think the F150 is a better over all truck than what GM or Chrystler has to offer. Only problem with the Ford is the price. For the money spent I think the Ram is the better buy.

I truly miss my f150. I had a 2011 5.0 extended cab all blacked out. Should of never traded it in on the camaro since the camaro i have is no where near as reliable. My truck was supercharged and I didnt have any negative equity in it. Imo its time for change and the only trucks I will buy is a v8. Fords ecoboost never grabbed my attention. Ill only do two trucks as of right now. First choice is the ram (still waiting on the bank) or a 5.0 f150 again. Issue is the negative the dealer i bought the camaro put me in. Lesson learned. Never buy used from Midway Chevrolet in phoenix.

^^^^^^ Since your F-150 was supercharged and probably about the same price have you thought about getting a diesel?

That 4wd Ram 2500 with the Cummins for $35,108 could deliver you that great mpg you're wanting and the Cummins turbo diesel can make BIG power that would destroy a supercharged f-150 with very little invested. Not many other vehicles can hang with a modded diesel when going from a dig on the streets. Those 20psi+ 4wd boosted launches are totally worth the price of admission.

You're also not going to loose your ass if you should ever decide to sell the diesel as there are 2010 Ram diesel 2500's sitting on lots today with a higher price then this new 2014.

Here's the link.

The Cummins is awesome no debating that but Dodge has put a new option for people with the 2500 and 3500 trucks. Its the 6.4 hemi which i personally would get if i got a 3/4 ton truck.

As much as id love a diesel it wouldnt be practical considering fuel cost and use. I have no use for a diesel and the only reason I supercharged my old f150 was to blow ricers away. Funny to watch as an f150 annhilated them. Now I need a truck just to go ride my bikes and have no intention to put a supercharger on another truck.

Brian 1LE SS · 03-25-2014, 05:45 PM

I have a 13 Ram R/T and love it. Only one issue so far. The hour meter is reading the wrong hours. The truck is smooth, fast and looks great.

shaffe · 03-26-2014, 08:25 AM

that is a damn nice looking truck^

Mcarltonjr · 03-26-2014, 10:06 AM

ooomph. I love your ram. And I normally dont care for 2 door short bed trucks. That thing is beast looking. Ram has it right in looks thats for sure.

Mcarltonjr · 03-30-2014, 10:11 AM

Sadly I didn't get the ram. Couldn't get financing but ford stepped up and I now own a 2013 ford f150 super cab stx in tuxedo black. The modding has already begun and I have had it less then 12 hours.

Nothing wrong with the F150s at all. Congrats !
