3rd Gen Ram Tech2002-2008 Rams: This section is for TECHNICAL discussions only, that involve the 2002 through 2008 Rams Rams. For any non-tech discussions, please direct your attention to the "General discussion/NON-tech" sub sections.
I really did like my 2nd generation ram, but I think it's fair to say that you really can't even call a 3rd generation a "Ram". They are entirely different. To some, this may be why they don't like them, but for me, it's exactly what I wanted. I feel like I'm driving in a car, yet I have that giant hemi motor powering me around. It's a sensational feeling. It just drives so smoothly, I love that. Like I said, to each his own though. I just feel like this truck fits my personality. It has that very sporty look, yet it's practical with the four doors...not to mention, it's much too fast lol.
If you think that the 3rd gen Rams are good, wait till you try the 4th gen. I heard they ride like a Rolls Royce and go like a Ferrari
and dont be mislead by the ride, those rams can work!
Honestly, the two trucks aren't even comparable. Different motor, transmission, interior quality, style. Personally, I think my father was pushing me to get a ford because all he knew was the ram I previously owned. But after he test drove this truck I own now, he was completely astonished. I love the interior so much. It's extremely cozy, and well done. All of the XLT F-150s I was test driving were so bland, and the seats were so hard. The SLT on the ram is very inviting and attractive. I just can't say enough about this truck at this point. Tomorrow I'm taking it up north with my dad; this will be the ultimate test. My old truck could never do a highway trip, let alone would my dad want to come in my vehicle.
