AEV Package too

Chevy High Country 6.2L. Chev's have served me well in the past. Never another Ford!

I was actually wanting a Chevy 1500 with the 6.2 (and 3:42 rear axle ratio). Found a 2018 with cloth interior for $4k more than the Ram 2500 I ended up buying. The Chevy did have 15K less miles but still they're stupid expensive.

It definitely looks bad ass, but not nicer than that Anti Matter Blue one out front. lol

Plus, see the wheels sticking way out on the white one like yeee yeeeee?!?! LOL
Uggghhhhhhh,...that is ugly as sin. Terrible. I can understand a little poke, but that is just ugly. Still bad ass though.

I am a jeep guy first and foremost and was really wanting a gladiator rubicon until I test drove one, actually several and that was enough to quell my desire for one. One thing with gladiators they need to be lifted and running 37's look right.

Probably an F250 or F350. One big detractor on the Fords is that I don't like the local Ford dealers service department. Also, I see intermittent reports about the electronics acting glitchy when a plow is hooked up, even with the plow prep.
The GM's had really uncomfortable seats imo when I drove a 2020 Silverado 2500 Custom and a pretty well optioned 2020 GMC 2500 SLT. The Ford was pretty comfy, has a huge back seat, but you have to move through a few option packages to get rear ac vents on the console so it made it pricier than I was willing to spend. The Ram Tradesman has rear hvac vents on the console in my Tradesman, so that was nice. I feel like the 7.3 has good power and people really like it, but the reports so far that I see say that it's more of a drinker than the Ram 6.4, which isn't unreasonable being 7.3 vs 6.4, but I don't NEED the extra power, so why pay more for gas than I already do.

Tundra. Not the newest tech or drivetrain, but it's proven to last. That's more important to me that the latest and greatest.

Also you can drop the factory camaro super charger on that stock block and run 10psi boost for huge truck sleeper set up I’ve been dreaming of power with that option

I wish they offered the gladiator with the Hemi like they do the Wrangler. I am almost shocked that wasn't an option.

Anything but a F250 F350. Have a 2019 company rig f250 crew cab 6.2 gas has 8 ft with lift-gate rack and brush guard. 50k now and compared to my personal 2017 3500 Ram and the old retired 2011 Chevy work truck 180k I gave up no problems other than crappy front brake rotors, This 19 Ford is got to be the worst truck driving vehicle possible ever. granted an extra 900 pounds of equipment bolted to it but so did the Chevy. my first truck was a worn out 1968 international farm rig, I would put this ford in the same driving experience. Took it back to dealer the first week and a few week’s after asked them to explain, they said I just need too get used too it. I had the boss and work mate’s drive POS they all agreed not to mention uncomfortable seat XL model no adjustments stupid interior ergonomics like where the mirror & heater control location are and cruse control button confusing layout especially in the dark. I don’t know why people buy them I can’t say anything bad about the F150 but at least test drive something else before you waste $60 k or more on a F250 F350

Engine light just came on this week evap system problem not gas cap new fuel pump last month and torque converter leaks down when truck sitting for a few days.

Wow, that,s a tuff one. after owning ram trucks I just can not bear the thought owning anything else.

 

[Socalramfan]

A lot of times we don't really realize how good we have it until we drive /ride in others.

Well played RAM

Tundra. Not the newest tech or drivetrain, but it's proven to last. That's more important to me that the latest and greatest.

I was actually considering between the tundra (not the new style) and the ram. The only reason why I didn’t go with the tundra was the gas mileage.
