Well I have owned my 10 Ram sport CC 4X4 for a couple months now and I have to say that I'm actually a Ford guy. But Ford wanted to much for the same features I got in the Ram and the Ford couldn't mach the performance of the Dodge. Except for a few rattles hear and there the cabin is pretty quiet and the ride is really smooth, a lot better than the 3rd gen Rams and really similar to the Fords. The gas pedal also has a slight vibration to it at certain RPM's but you'll end up getting used to it. Other than little things like that it is over all a great truck and I plan on keeping this truck for a long time. IMO I would say take one for a test drive and see what you think. Good luck

I'm a ford guy myself, or was one. I had a 2002 F150 that was totally perfect with the exception of the lack of horsepower in that V8. Sold it for a mini van when the kids came. Oh the regret. The new F150 on the other hand is just ugly and overpriced. Don't like the chevy either. Got a great deal on my tundra but have been regretting this truck ever since. Oh well, I'm too poor to trade it in right now. Will drive it till it blows up then get a dodge I guess. Ofcourse it could blow up tomorrow. LOL.

Get one if you are gonna pull a trailer consider the 2500 unless its within the rating of the 1500, too many people whining about trailer pulling capabilities. Read the specs. one of the biggest purchases you make besides realestate and you don't research it. Too bad for Toyota, oh ya they have good quality because they deny they have problems. I am glad they finally got their *** in the fire, to show that even the foreigners are not perfect in fact they are worse at least we dumb Canadians admit our problems like mad cow, did not the orientals shut up down as well as the US maybe we should shut down Toyota, if only they didn't just give us a few thousand jobs. Maybe those jobs won't pan out, I know of people who already sold out and moved to Woodstock. Now their hiring is on delay. They quit jobs to go there, auto biz is not worth chasing.

Not calling you retarded but dont you have alot better stuff to do with your time mactruck? I just bought a Ram but it would be pretty ignorant for me to go onto a chevy silverado or Ford F-150 forum and start talking smack.

I work at a toyota dealership we also have chrysler jeep and dodge. I bought a 2010 ram trx4 its a better truck than the tundra no bed bounce you can load a atv on the tailgate without it bending you would be surprised how many tundras come in with bent tailgates.

I like my Ram, but I'm wondering what it is you hate about the 2009 Tundra enough to trade it in already.

It's a good truck but if you are ultra picky about little things, then no pickup I know of will make you happy.
