    Sedan or SUV to 2021 1500 Limited

    I know where you're coming from. Never had a truck before and really no need to haul anything ... ever. My wife would never drive anything else than her beloved hot hatches and I preferred the combo sports-car (911) and sports-sedan (M3). I got into a 2019 RAM 1500 because I was tired of the M3...

    If you bought a truck that's not a Ram

    Let's agree to disagree and call it a day. I honestly don't even now why I'm arguing here. This is a pickup truck - I couldn't care less. If you ever want to discuss sports cars, hit me up and we can go on for days. A fair warning though - as a dual citizen I like me freedom American and my...

    If you bought a truck that's not a Ram

    Well ... my powerboost is a hybrid twin turbo. But you're right a supercharger is equally good and efficient. BMW M, Mercedes AMG, Audi RS, Porsche etc etc etc etc must all be morons for using turbos. But why are you so obsessed with the TRX anyway? Go ahead and buy one then. Don't discuss ****...

    If you bought a truck that's not a Ram

    My bad ... I should've said "all but" ... and be more specific about "leaving in the dust". I didn't mean performance only. As I've said before I'm no hillbilly who needs to race other cars or trucks on the highway. Let's call it 'modern technology' ... that's where most of the Ford engines are...

    If you bought a truck that's not a Ram

    See .. that's why you have multiple vehicles. The 911 off road is as dumb as the TRX on the track.

    If you bought a truck that's not a Ram

    Well, you compared the powerboost (a.k.a. hybrid) to the TRX. To me the TRX (as well as the Raptor) is as useful as the popes testis.

    If you bought a truck that's not a Ram

    No ... the 'little' powerboost is no match for the TRX. If I want to leave the TRX in the dust - I'd take my 911 (also twin-turbo) which is faster in the straight and obliterates it in the turns. And no need to lecture me on gas mileage - I had a '19 HEMI ... ~16mpg vs ~22 now - and the...

    If you bought a truck that's not a Ram

    I switched from a '19 RAM to a '21 F150. Not because I didn't like the RAM (loved it actually and had a 21 on order) but because the dealerships as well as RAM cooperate are unbearable. Worst experience EVER! They're both great trucks with slight advantages in certain areas for one or the other...

    Order Tracking

    A LOT. My trucks are leases ... Ford gave me $2000 more for my trade and while the MSRP of the F150 was slightly higher - the lease payment is ~$100 less. And this was their offer - I did not renegotiate. For the RAM I had to contact 5 dealerships to get only one quote that wasn't completely...

    Order Tracking

    Here you go ... my old RAM and my new F150: In the areas: Ride quality Quality Transmission I think the RAM 1500 has a very slight advantage over the F150. It's not much - but it's there. When I comes down to interior storage space and rear seat room the RAM blows the F150 out of the...

    Order Tracking

    I ordered 12/23 and was told 8 weeks at the most, more like 4 weeks. Got a delivery date of 01/31 from RAM without even being D1. Was told by the dealer March build - March delivery not guaranteed. What finally made me cancel was that RAM chat told me the truck started production 02/24 with a...

    "My" truck arrived at the dealership today. A week-and-a-half too late - I jumped ship last Monday and bought a F150 powerboost, oh well........

    The estimated ship date in my case is the day after the build date. Which is a complete joke. Depending on what you ordered the truck has to go to the "Body Vendor" (=Mopar Custom Shop). And although the average time IN the shop is only 1 hour - the wait time to actually get in it might be...

    Neither MFT nor Rambox. Air Suspension though.

    D1 has a build date - D doesn't.

    Lol .. I give them the Porsche example literally every single time I call. I had no problem waiting for my 992 ... but c'mon ... this is a freaking truck!!!

    It's getting comical ... Yet another email from RAM today (personalized not canned), apologizing for the original email from January again and telling me to expect delivery next week. They also provided the VON this time!?! Since the build date per dealer is next Friday ... this sounds like bs...

    The dealer did provide updates (over the phone that is). But in cases when there is no update over an extended period of time he doesn't know why that is. Also he tells me a delivery within the month of March is not guaranteed. I find the hard to believe since the build date is set for the 5th...

    EDGE Pulsar and CAI

    30 hp is hard to believe for a NA engine. I've a piggyback tune on my 911 and it supposedly adds 60hp .. that is on a twin turbo!
