I loved my 04 laramie, but I really love this one! imo it is the best truck availible!

 

My bro owns a new Tundra. I own the Dodge even though I used his Tundra to go pick up my travel trailer. Got the trailer from a friend who lives 14 hours away and my '89 Chevy Crew cab with a bored out 454 was getting 5 MPG at the time if I was lucky. He said, Take my new truck and how do you say no. The Tundra pulled the trailer like it wasn't there. The best thing about it is the instrument cluster. The speedo is so far inset the wife couldn't see it and at 170 kph it still felt like 120. Very smooth. The main issue? I could not get comfortable in it. The seats were horrible. Top of the line seats do not compare to the bottom of the line Dodge for comfort. I could hardly walk when I got there.

Comparing it to the Dodge. My Dodge has the same power, runs smooth at any speed, passes well. It really runs the same as the Tundra with the trailer. I set the cruise and go hills and all. But I can still walk when I get somewhere. The Tundra squated when I hooked the trailer up till I aired up his bags, putting mine in today.

Really very similar trucks. I looked at the Tundra too but the seats hadn't changed. Prefered the looks of the Dodge, never did love the Tundras looks. And the price was right. The Toyota dealer here picks up awards all the time but the Dodge dealer is a 5 star. I know the owner, have played golf with the sales manager, play cards with the parts guy and used to employ the service manager. So I am not too worried come time to get work done.

All I can say is try to take them both on a long test drive and go from there.

 

Nice, that's a good comparison. long ride comfort is a must for me. Must be something about Toyota because my girlfriends sienna is uncomfortable as hell after a long ride.

 

Front seat or back seat?

 

I too had a hard time deciding. I narrowed it down to the 2010 Quad Cab Sport or a Ford F150. I only have about 588 miles on mine but so far I absolutely love it! This is my first Dodge. I just got the Line-X done yesterday and my 5th wheel hitch installed last week. I think it's one of the best looking trucks on the road today. Good Luck with your decision.

 

Mine will be 1 year old May 1.

Has a little over 11,000 miles.
Crew cab, Laramie, Hemi, 4x4, Leer cap, RER, NAV, 3.92 rear end, electric steps.
Runs great, dual exhaust sounds pretty good for factory. When it's real cold the rear backup sensors sometimes act up especially if you get ice or snow on them. I heard there might be an RRT for that. But it happened so little I just didn't worry about it. Radio display froze a couple times. But when I turned it off and restarted it worked fine. Basically I really enjoy driving it.
The electric steps needed an upgrade for better support. They are working great and we really like them. That's been about all. Looking forward to keeping it for a long time.
Try them all. But I don't think you'll be sorry if you pick the Ram with the options you want.

 

Love evrything except the problem with the leathe/pleather bucket seats. I don't recomend the bucket leather seats.....the r cheap....but everything else on my truck is awsome! 3.92lsd hemi

 

Actions always speak louder than words. Go test drive a Tundra, **** go test drive every 1/2 ton. Then take a Ram, Laramie if its on the lot, and see for yourself. I live in NH and Toyotas are big up here, I even had one years ago. My close friend bought the fully loaded Tundra and I bought the Laramie. And no BS he admits he made a mistake after driving my Ram. See for yourself, the forum is here when you make your choice. We wont even give you **** for having doubts, but you will be driving a Ram.
