Default Stickin with the Dodge!

Yeaa, I looked at it, drove both trucks.. And i gota give Ford some credit. They do have a nice riding, comfortable truck. But I gotta admit, Besides my trans problems, I love my Ram! Now i gotta fix up some rust that came through on my front fender and rear quarter on the bed around the wheelwell. And of course fix the tailgate from when the damn straps broke. If your straps are gettin old, i suggest changin em. It would have been worth the 20 bucks to save my tailgate from gettin two perfectly even dents haha. Oh well. Still love the truck. Rides nice, Performs good, and I think they have one of the best looking front ends on them! By the way - Anyone ever tow a Sport from the front? Is there anythign to hook a strap to? I had to go around the frame and out through one of the front slots and cracked my bumper nicely.

IMO you made the right choice. Our trucks are just so simple to work on and it has been my experience (knock on wood) that I have never really had to work on my truck. The work done on it is because I want to. I'll give you that the Ford interior is very nice, but like I said before I will trade a fancier interior for a truck that is easy to work on and rarely breaks down on me.

yep I 100% agree with you that ford has a nice interior. As my dad gets older he has noticed that out of Dodge ford and Chevy. The fords seats hold up better and dont cave in as much or as quickly as the others he said he thinks chevy is the worst one about it. Thats why he will never own another truck except for ford. But he is just getting old
All of them have there disadvantages, But like stated before working on a dodge is so much easier than working on anything else.

Yes, the dodges are definitely easier to work on. Went to help my cousin change his plugs in his '97 F250 5.4L, we popped the hood, took a look, scratched our heads, took it to a mechanic.
