Congrats on your retirement and the next chapter!

I stepped out of my truck also so know how you feel. It's hard to give things up when there are external factors that drive your decision. My wife also never drove my truck ("too big" also).

Congrats on the truck. My wife has a Ranger and, even though it is only a 4-cylinder, the 270 Hp it puts out is still 270 Hp.

Nothing, and I will really miss that truck. As I mentioned earlier, my wife would not drive my big-a$$ Ram, and we are down to 1 vehicle now. So, the compromise was a bit smaller vehicle, but it had to be a truck - so I went with this one and I really like it.
My wife doesn't like to drive my Ram, but she will. But she also drives a Bluebird Blood Mobile and a Cat D12.

Ford with the rear Leafs give a harsh ride, Chevy has the 2.7L twin turbo a high reeving engine, not the interior of your Limited, good luck with your purchase.
Having owned / owning both, I would not say that the F150 ride is harsh. Empty, the Ram's ride is a little better than the F150s though.

I am retired, female and have a 2019 Ram 3500 HO duallie diesel 4WD.
Not too big for me and I wouldn't trade it, fuel prices here included.
There is something about a 5 foot and a bit, white haired woman behind the wheel of this truck that seems to terrify people, regardless of their sex.
But as some actor once said, and it applies to all and I have updated it, "A person's got to know their limitations"
Enjoy, anyway

True, but it's "A man's got to know his limitations." Apparently women have none. :Big Laugh:

I had a 2019 Canyon and really loved that truck. With the 3.6L it was more than adequate for towing my 2 place enclosed snowmobile trailer. I would still be driving it today but when I retired in 2020, we bought a travel trailer and needed a bigger truck. But I do miss the Canyon when I'm not towing and need to manuver in tight spaces or even just trying to squeeze into my garage.

I’d take that four banger over a GM 3.6. My last vehicle was a V6 Camaro and that engine was trouble.
