    Jumping Off

    I have been told not to jump off either the truck or other cars because of all the electronics in today’s trucks/cars. These trucks are upwards of 60 to 70k, if you get an electronic issue they are sometimes hard to fix. Any thoughts?

    Safety Ratings

    Just saw the IIHS safety ratings for trucks and the Ram got a 2019 Top Safety Pick +. What put them in this category were the headlights for the Laramie and Limited.

    Just traded my 2018 XLT Ford FX4 5.0 for a 2019 Bighorn 4x4. I had an issue with oil consumption on the Ford, so I traded for the Ram. I have owned 5 Ford F series trucks and they were all solid. Here are my observations between the Ram and the Ford. The Ford’s are solid well built trucks that...
