Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote. Marvin Simkin L.A.

If were to buy anther today, it would be another Dodge. I've been very happy with this truck. Randy NRA Patriot Life Benefactor

Intended use? 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton? Diesel or gas? around town occasional lumber yard grocery getter? You want a "Cadillac" with a bed on it or just the basics? I bought a new truck 6 months ago, went with 3/4 ton Ram with cummins, 4x4 and mega cab. Part of that decision was based on my experience with my previous truck (Ram with cummins) and with my experience with the other brands that we have at my work. I also drove the other brands, spent a bunch of time in them, and preferred the Ram. But, that's just me. "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

Ram rides a bit rougher empty but is way better when towing/hauling heavy. On 1/2 tons, the Ram ride is way better and the 5.7/8 speed is king of the hill in power and economy. GM is better for hauling because of the leaf springs they still use from 1800's wagon builders blueprints I have a 13 ram 3500, my wife has the 15 ram 1500. Her 1500 rides like a Cadillac and is plenty quick with the 400HP 5.7 and 8 speed, while getting 16/21 MPG. If she let me drive it more, I'm sure I'd like it even better .

Had 2 3/4 Rams with Cummins, had Cummins in my Bertram and ran several others with Cummins. I LIKE Cummins. The 1500, however, rides like a nice car, will get over 30 mph on the highway, average in town, highway and towing a ling trailer is usually about 26. I can park it without needing 4 parking spaces. Miss my big dually, but really like the new truck. Mike [email protected]
