whats up everyone. so with a heavy heart i have crossed over to a ram guy. while i still own a bunch of fords and have been a die hard ford guy , when it came to looking for a new truck it was difficult to overlook the new ram. i tried my hardest to hate it. drove it and it became really hard to... after driving my friends i started to see what all the hype was about. for starters it has way more interior room. the biggest thing is the versatile storage. the center console all the pockets etc was so incredibly useful. the only thing i don't get is why there is so many cup holders but hey... Once i started to look at how far the money went between the trucks i pretty much went back and forth between a roush truck and a laramie. The more i compared the more the ram came out on top. looks between the two models were close. if you compared the looks , drive train, mpg etc they are really close. next came the value and well the ram beat it for the price. bought it end of the year and ended up with a night edition loaded with everything. basically a limited minus wheels, and rear vented seats... everything else almost the same. and honestly the night edition looked better than the limited. (i can't get over the weird pinstripe in the limited... deal breaker for me) I've had the truck for two months now and i must say i have zero regrets. i wouldn't mind getting some better mpg and gas is crazy out here. originally i wanted to find a truck with the 3:21 gears but this truck had the 3:55 gears and while i like the torque i have other cars to hot rod around in. it would be cool if there was a way to add some better mpg but not sure if its worth the hassle. I have found it interesting just how many guys have switched over. also any other ca guys experiment with different octane. i have been reading about it in other posts and our gas out here sucks. i've tried all 3 levels and it doesn't seem to vary much. i have the e torque and driving normal i barely creep past 15 in the city. with auto stop etc all that turned on seems like even driving like a grandma doesn't get me much past it... anyways great group of guys on here so far! looking forward to chatting more!
