I have not seen any digs on the dodge white face gages. Am I the only person that thinks they are ugly as a mud fence?
Sign me up !!!! The white faced gauges are ugly, not so bad at night but Dodge, come on !!!! I bet the white gauges are a cost saving's, if not a bit of white wash....

I do like my 06 Ram ...

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. :-)

Chevy Silverado


Dodge Ram


Ford F-150

why is it they all went to putting a center consol on the floor.... now u can really only comfortably carry 2 people, otherwise the guy in the middle has to have his legs on the lap of the passenger dude.. i dont like that at all

I too was looking at the Ford FX4's first and loved the interior! Much nicer interior than any other trucks right now. I especially loved the floor shifter.
the only differance about a fx4 from the regular truck is the fx4 has skid plates and the decal

Good luck with your upcoming buy! You're gonna love the RC in Inferno! I've always been a white or silver guy, but the Infreno Red has changed my whole perspective!

The Ford interior is nice, but dodge's isnt shabby at all. It is quite nice and it has the best controls just a turn of the **** and you have 4x4 up to 55 mph!!!! the white gauges are nice, ( hmm I wonder what they would look like in silver!!!). As far as Chevys go I hate them. I dont know about the new silverados but the Diesels are crappy. The plastic is as cheap as it can be. It reminds me of chevys interior from 1990. Nothing has changed with them and they have stupid buttons for 4 wheel drive. The Dodge is classy.


Mopar Madness 4 ever

the diesel is crappy?? How can you say that when the Duramax makes 365hp and 660tq?? Thats more power than ford or dodge! Diesel technology far surpasses any gasoline engine, no matter who makes it, but GM diesels are top notch !!!

If you look hard enough, you are going to find things you like and things you hate in any full-size Dodge, Chevy or Ford pick-up. I cannot stand theexterior styling of Chevy pickups, and I haven't since the late Eighties. Fords looked good to me until a couple of years ago when they changed to the current, blocky style. I always liked the 2nd Gen Rams, but when they changed to the 3rd Gen style I was hooked.

Would I have changed a few things in the interior of my '05 Ram 1500 QC 4x4 if I could? Sure I would. For one thing, I wish the radio and A/C-heat controls were a little closer to the driver's seat. I do not like having to stretch to reach the last few presets. And I wish the headlight controls were on the column. But overall, that's small potatoes.
