I'm trading her in...
For comparison purposes, I have included all three truck interiors for you to review. I drove the chevy silverado, loved the interior, 367hp felt good but not as strong as the Dodge's 345. And the chevy had 4.10 compared to the dodge's 3.92 gears. As for the Ford, its a nice interior, but I am 6'3 295lb and it felt too cramped for me. In the Dodge (the last one I drove), it was roomy, comfortable, quick, and sat higher. Thats why I bought it. :-)

evenb though i hate fords, they are great trucks too. i dunno, the interior offers more in fords, the quality is better, but i like the look of, well setup, of the dodge rams. but hey, either truck you get, you will be very happy with! even though i hate fords. lol. why not even look at a chevy?

Agree, outside looks on the Dodge are best. I hate the sides of the Fords bed! It seems like a 6' picket fence. the tailgate is just as tall. I do like the new Chevy's bed, although all they did was copy the damn Nissan! I can't respect that.

You know... I used to drive an expedition with the 5.4L Triton. That engine was sound, it really was. The tranny was strong and it felt good. The 5.7l Hemi is much stronger and more responsive, and with the MDS you cant beat the mileage.
Ford F150's are nice looking trucks, that Triton has been around for a while, I would trust it.
Good luck....

I kinda agree, with some exceptions with Ford, the new 5.43v are a huge step backwards for Ford, I owned a 04 F-150 ( Fat basterd ) and that engine used more flue than my 06 2500 5.7, ( no nds ) the new Ford cabs are are smaller, quality of construction is sub par and I had axle seaals, brakes, altenater batt, charging issues, stearing suspension issues at less than 20,000 K.
Ford has several versions of the 5.4, a 4v in the navagater and they have a reputation for throwing up plugs in the 2v engines.
The 260 hp 5.4 I had in my 02 F-150 was a great engine, in the 97 F-150 the 5.4 was rated less than 230 h/p and Ford tricked out the 5.4 in the latter years to get more power out of the 5.4.
I have owned F-150's all my life, in 06 I bought my first dodge ram and I will never again buy any Ford product.
In 2002 Ford had a bad run with ball joints as well as the dakota and the Ram has a history of issues as well.
Your allway's going to get the good with the bad so best to reserch and hope for the best, but as For Ford, that's a lost cause.
