JB, you nailed it. I cross shopped the F250 against the Ram 2500, both diesel configuration. Drove them back to back and when it comes down to it, I prefer the look and feel of the Ram, but I needed the capacity of the Ford's 10800 GVW. On the road, the Powerstroke is quieter than the Cummins, which my wife noticed right away. The Mega Cab reduces payload to where the payload is nearly useless for my requirements. The ride of the 1 tons are a turn off, let alone finding one at ANY price right now. I bought a Lariat last week and I fell in love with my Ford. Still at the end of the day, I couldn't find the perfect combination of trim and features I wanted on either, waiting months for a custom order wasn't an option. The Ford gave me what I need today. Both are awesome trucks. Sorry GM guys, I can't stand the look of their new HD's, non-starter.
The larger cab, bed, and performance sold me on the ford. I've had both over the years and like both.The ford interior has everything i need and I've been putting a key i in the ignition for over 30 years.also like ford's mirrors better. I've never been a gm fan though.
If you spend a lot of time driving unloaded lowering the air pressure in any truck greatly improves the ride. I just air up if I'm going to tow heavy. My f 250 rides amazing with less air in the tires
Dan A. : I had to double check to see if I wrote this comment (above). My sentiments as well. I have had numerous pickups over the last 50 years. Mostly Fords, a few Dodge's and one GMC. Just not a GM guy at all. Prefer the Fords over the close 2nd of the Ram. I ordered a 22' F350 because of the 7.3L gas & 10 spd tranny; I just lean Ford way overall.
I've had a 2021 Ram 2500 laramie, eff that coil suspension on rough roads my laramie was a quad cab, I prefer the leg room and the comfort that my 2023 Ford 250 has, my kids appreciate the more leg room in the back seat of my F250 also. I have always leaned towards Dodge trucks I have a cattle operation and have mostly used Rams but this 2023 F250 is way more comfortable and rides way better going down the road. For a work truck work horse and a more economical choice Dodge every day. With that being said as far as ride and comfort chevy or gmc is the most comfortable rides on the road, my 2019 gmc pulled great and road great and did well on fuel mileage, just had some weird issues off and on with it, some electrical and a warranty issue with my fuel pump that went bad with less than 10,000 miles but damn it was comfortable to ride in. All of them have their good and bad it just comes down to what checks the most boxes overall. I still love the Dodges and my next may be a Megacab 2500 idk..good video thanks for sharing.
I like the coil springs on the Ram. I think the radio looks good in the ram but I much prefer knobs for my a/c control. It’s just much quicker. I live in Texas so it could be 40degrees in the morning and 90 when I get off work.
Ford F-250 7.3L w/ 10spd. Better HP/Torque, Better Transmission (RAM can't build a great transmission so had to outsource to ZF '6.4L gas', Aisin for 3500 6.7L diesel). Ford has better payload, more room in cab, Ford being built in the USA is a nice plus too to support USA manufacturing jobs (vs Mexico for RAM).
I always had Ford's and never had a problem with them, they always did what I wanted them to. I bought a Ram back in 2002 and and while I liked it for driving and smaller loads I ended up trading it in. I needed the payload capacity Ford had. Just towed and hauled the weight better. I almost bought a 22 model Ram as the years have gone by, and I see they are very popular and priced cheaper, but in the end I went with the 7.3.
I like the coil and the space of ram if you get a mega cab. Literally a twin size bed in the truck for road trips but as of now the 7.3 can’t be beat being a gas engine in a heavy duty truck for a faction of what a diesel will cost. All truck manufactures have their pros and cons buy what will put a smile on your face as you go down the road. Keep it between the mustard and mayonnaise my friends!
Ram to me is built cheaply. I’ve owned both. I bought a Ford F-350 Tremor with the 6.7. The Ford has a ton of power, gets good fuel mileage with the 10 speed, rides nice. Ford is built in the US versus Ram in Mexico. I haven’t had one issue with my truck and I’d never go back to RAM. My last truck the RAM 3500 shit the transmission at 95k. Only good thing I can say about RAM is the warranty and of course the Cummins.
I owned 22' Chevy Silverado 16' For Lariat and now 22' Ram Big Horn. It's between the Ford and Ram. But you have to spend a lot money to get a nice comfortable Ford where the Ram was awesome at the Big Horn Package.
The looks are a no brainer. Ram wins that hands down. Cab to the Ford. Interior to the Ram. Engine is a slight win for the Ford. Ram ride on the 2500 for sure. Ram color scheme is great. Winner= Ram. Thanks JB.
Thanks for this review! And nice touch adding your children in the video - instantly added some credibility as a family man. I've owned both a ford and dodge and they both had their pro's and con's BUT it seems like RAM is starting to really gain market share - for good reason.
I’m in a ford, but I’ll give you the interior design on the Ram. My issue over the years is that all Dodge vehicles I’ve owned over the years would start to shit the bed with electrical issues around 105k. Yeah, yeah, I’ll hear all the crap from the lovers, but my experience turned me off the brand. 3 vehicles, issues in all and the last almost put me through a guardrail with the power cutting off. I can’t trust them.
I would like to have one of each but currently have a 17 powerstroke. I would prefer the powerstroke over cummins, but like the interior and ride quality of the ram.
@@dadcooksfood9956 exactly….Aisin was built for commercial applications…..made for heavy duty pulling. I want a transmission that will last and the Aisin is proven in that area. Ford’s 10 speed will not hold up..and Allison doesn’t make the same transmission you see today.
Truth. I just want a work truck that is very dependable and not expensive. I don’t care about power seats, heated seats, touch screen, boss sound system…I just need a work truck! It’s a truck not a luxury car. What happened to all the man trucks?
The Ram 2500 has by far the best ride of any HD truck. Thats its best selling point. The 6.4 Hemi is inferior to the 7.3 in every way. Thats not negotiable. Plus that MDS is a MAJOR turn off. I have a '20 F350 Tremor 7.3 with and put 29,000 on it since day 1. Its a great damn truck. Stiff ride. Alot more payload(4400lb) which helps alot for 5th wheeling and haulin. The ride is rougher than the Ram but more capable.
Cant wait for a truck that has the Ford room and ride, The Ram Diesel and the Chevy Transmission. Sign me up! To answer your question, I will be ordering a 2023 Ford 350 Diesel. The only reason why is because my 2014 Ram looks almost the same as the 2022 Ram. It feels like the same truck. I cannot get past it feeling the same. Maybe they will do a major change for 2023????
You know I always hear that ford makes the best chassis for there trucks, frame, ball joints actual components under the truck. But ram has a slightly smoother tranny. But honestly what I took from this is if you tow every now and then and what something that’s comfortable and nice on the inside get the ram. But someone like me pulling 8-9k a day year round I want a better put together truck. Plus the ford has the power and the gearing to pull all day every day. And the 7.3 is the icing on the cake I guess. I like both…if I wasn’t pulling 24/7 I would most definitely drive a ram.
Howdy JB! My F250 7.3/4.30 Supercab has a 3300lb cargo capacity w/ a 10k GVWR. I did not spec my truck for max cargo or GVWR, as one can opt for a long bed Supercab gas truck w/ over 4000lb cargo and over 11k GVWR. Of course, the regular cab in any truck will give you more capacity. Ram interior is great, and the ride w/ coils is better. I chose what I chose in order to limit the amount of tech in my truck, as more tech equals more possibility of break-down... on any of the big 3. Let's face it, there is a quality control issue for all 3 truck manufacturers right now. Great video, JB!
Jb you nailed it. But the looks of ram is way batter than ford in and out hands down. If ram would up there cab size and bed length it will be better in all big three brand.
Oh Brother, Ha-ha... NOT Triggered😮. I've love my RAM's (an Outdoorsman & a Laramie). My dream truck is the RAM 2500! The MUST HAVE & Game Changer for me is the RAMBOX option!!! It makes tool & Sway/Load Level arms access a dream. I also love the Coil & Quad Air Suspension Option!!! My Outdoorsman had the air suspension option, crazy awesome! My needs are more modest in towing weight (less than 10,000 lb) so the that RAM interior is a crazy benefit too! Fun review! Cheers, Eric
Nice side by side comparisons bro! At the end of the day they will all get it done. Pick the one you like. For me personally seating position and interior design fit and finish and layout of controls is what sways my choice. I want to spend time looking at and interacting with something comfortable, stylish and functional. Exterior style would be my second choice. 🇺🇸💪
When I went out looking for a new 3/4 ton truck to upgrade from my F150 I started at the ford dealer. i liked the F250 Lariat but it rode like an old stagecoach. I wasn't even considering the Ram until I sat in it and test drove it. i instantly chose the Ram 2500 knowing my wife would bitch about the rough ride in the Ford. JB is right they're both great trucks for different reasons. pick yours for your own reasons not anyone else's.
Could you discuss the status with Ford and the “Death Wobble?” You say, “Ram Work!” Has Ford fixed the “Death Wobble?” Can we rely on Ford to take responsibility for their errors?
Ford hasn't fix steering damper problem yet. My 19 Ford was replaced( warranty coverd)2 months. Will never own another Ford again. I have a list of problems with this truck...lol I purchased both Ram and Ford same time to see which is better. Ram all the way. No hesitation
I was a ram 2021 2500 6.4 it rode great, better than my 2019 f250 6.2 both were 4x4 ext cab short bed trucks. Both have 3:73 gears the 6.4 walks all over the 6.2. The 7.3 for the win in gas pulling power. The brake system for the ram is horrible and spongy, the ford brake system is a better feel and better stopping power.
JB I’m glad to see you are doing good man. As someone who was also pushed out of an engineering job because the company didn’t like my side business I understand. We only get stronger when we are kicked... My pick is Ram truck all the way, although I think the ford trucks have always looked better than Dodge.. sorry ram family but they do !!!!
It was a shock especially when I didn’t have a say in the situation. My gears have been really moving lately and I have some ideas so cheers to the future. RAM is the better truck when you consider the 1 ton and medium duty segment but ford has the better 3/4 ton 👍🏾
Great lookin trucks! (Both of em) I guess one thing that sold me on my rig was what I wanted for capabilities. I have a Silverado 2500 with Duramax, I've got 3300lbs payload. I had originally been pricing a RAM 2500, but seemed really hard to impossible to get over 3000lbs payload. As another side note... I'm really intrigued by Ford's 7.3 in a 3/4 ton truck. I'm thinking hard here! I'm not brand specific. Love the look of that RAM!
I have a 2022 Limited Longhorn fully loaded with air bags, it rides like a tank!! Especially when towing my 24' 6700lb travel trailer. Worst riding truck I have ever owned. When the air bags are deflated the hitch ball does not clear the trailer coupler because the ball only drops down 1.5" and the ball is 2" tall.
Ram cons: 1- it doesn’t have the 7.3 2- fuel tank is way too small 3- some things are quirky as it relates to its size and shape. Ford Cons: 1- it doesn’t have the ZF8 2- it’s expensive and doesn’t allow certain features until higher trims 3- dated interior and the most annoying chimes
He likes ram you can tell. For good reason though. That interior is awesome AND the sound system is WAY better in my opinion if you care about little things like that.
Thanks for another great video, I own a 2020 ram 1500 with a hemi no E torque, but I enjoy watching the content that you produce because I enjoy unbiased reviews that gives me insight and information well beyond my current application. Good job!!😷👍✌️🤪
For me the extra cab room is a non issue because I rarely haul people back there and when I do they have plenty of room for our use. The Ford is 4 in longer in the cab and the mega cab is 4 in Longer than the Ford. I don’t see why Ram would switch cabs because this gives them a price advantage. And lots of folks buy the mega cab JB. Lol. Bottom line is Im always excited to jump in and drive my Ram. Does Ford have dual pane windows on their higher models? Does Ford have fast Cab heating and cooling? Also the speaker system in a Ram cuts noise over 58 db in the top models. Let’s face it they both are incredible trucks. You can’t go wrong. The 7.3l is a beast but the Ram 6.4 is no slouch. No doubt the Ford looks bigger. Every time I pull next to one my Ram feels little. But I’ll stay w Ram. Adaptive steering is awesome and I like the Sound of a Ram. The 6.4l has some nice tone. Great job on this video JB!
I own a 2019 Ram 3500 mega cab Cummins HO. And I’m looking at adding an F350 dually to the stable. It will be a PowerStroke King Ranch. I’ll have to order one though as I don’t want to settle, and I’m not in a rush.
My wife and I have Ram pickups. I drive Fords at work for a goverment owned utility. A Ram Tradesman has better base equipment than the other brands. But that 7.3 motor is awesome! And the 4.30 axle ratio from the factory is great for 35" or 37" tires. But in my area, the Ram dealer is better. Twice I was in the Ford dealer showroom. They were courteous, but didn't help me buy a vehicle. I went across the street and bought from the Ram dealer. I go vehicle shopping with a folder that has a print out of the 3 vehicles from each brand that I am considering. The Chevy dealer is a very good dealer , with an excellent sales force. I just didn't like what they had on the lot. The Ford salesperson was offended that I had 9 print outs. The Ram salesperson was more than happy to show my wife and I all 3. And after showing us all 3, they asked for the sale! I bought a 2003 Ford SUV brand new. I still have it. And my son drives it. The only thing that failed on the Explorer, the alternator went out at 170k miles. That salesman asked for the sale. That dealer was in a town that I was doing a work project. They also sold Jeeps, and in the big picture a Grand Cherokee beats an Explorer for use I needed. But the Jeep rebate expired. While the Ford rebate was still good. I needed a 4wd for the snow. And like todays question. I shoulda bought the Ram 2500 Quadcab diesel the month before for the rebate. I still would bought a SUV eventually. But I would still have the Ram today too! Back then, neither gas engine was all that good. Today that Godzilla engine is fabulous! So the real answer is buy the one that best meets your needs. And hopefully you get a good price and good financing (if needed).
I've been seeing more Dodge trucks stuck on the side of the road. However my son works for a Ford dealership and he says don't ever buy a new Ford truck unless you hate your life. So I'd say go with a Chevy for longevity. Unless you really need the absolutely peak power.
A/C and Heat way better in a ford too. Then again when you get out of the ford the damn doors don't unlock on the passenger doors automatically which means a second trip to the panel on the drivers door.
They are both great trucks! I’m a fan of the Ram’s look, inside and out! If the Ram had the Ford’s powertrain… 🤨 we wouldn’t be having this conversation!
Nice video. I agree 100% that each truck brand has their own unique advantages over the other brands and I will add that truck guys especially are brand loyal so at the end of the day it really don’t matter lol. But since I don’t like either of these two (joking about that, but I am a Chevy guy) I can give a true non biased opinion of both. I’ve drove and rode in both a decent amount (never drove a 7.3) and I can without a doubt say the front passenger side of the Ford is more comfortable to ride than the Ram. It’s because of that hump in the floorboard. I also can say without a doubt that the rear of the Ram is more comfortable to ride in even though it is noticeably smaller. It’s all about the floor board too and how Ford has it raised up to be flat. Add a sunroof to the Ford and it’s terrible. There’s no headroom at all. I’d take the Ram even though it does have the cylinder deactivation technology. They are a lot better looking trucks in my opinion. I’m not sold on the coil springs being better than leaf’s or even as good as but they seem to do OK and for what I pull they would be fine. Also, the Hemi is a pushrod design engine too. I’m not sure about materials used but it’s a pushrod engine. And since you mentioned the Fords 4 bolt mains, the 6.6 Chevy has 6 bolt mains 😎.
LOL, glad you pointed out the advantages of the Chevy LMAO! I hope to see some updates to compete with Ford.... At least a optional 10 speed! Thanks for sharing, always great info!
@@JB_WhoWork got to keep you on your toes. I would have liked to seen the 10 speed optional too but it does seem like Ford is having their issues with it. I’m not sure if it’s actual problems with the transmission or people just unhappy with it hunting gears but there is grumblings about it online. This is sort of unrelated to this video but I watched a TFL review of an F150 King Ranch today with Tommy Micah and he actually mentioned the raised rear floor in the back of the Fords and how it can be uncomfortable for taller people. I’ve been saying that literally ever since they made the flat rear floor! I think it was 2009 model year.
Well you definitely hit the nail on the head about the GM gas Powertrain, they set out to be the most reliable. I remember you mentioning that awhile ago, they should hire you on their team 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork wouldn’t that be nice lol. I gave Ford a lot of credit when they announced the 7.3 and that it was going back to an OHV (pushrod) design. Just in my opinion that’s a better engine design. Makes for a more compact overall size, and less complex design.
For those mentioning the roomier cab space in the ram…. What are yall doing in your trucks? I typically just sit in the drivers seat and turn the wheel
I'm actually in this very dilemma right now. 35 year Ford guy, but I like the looks of the Ram as well. I'm looking at dually diesels, and you can't find them. I will have to wait till 2023 for the Ford because the order banks are now closed on the 2022's. I drove both diesels (LARIAT and LARAMIE) in the 3/4 version. I could find those. The Ram definitely has the nicer dash, but worse cab. The Ford seemed to handle the bumps nicer, which surprised me a lot. The Cummins exhaust brake is top notch. But the Ford has just ungodly amounts of power. Holy crap. Still don't know. I can order the Ram for this year, but the Allison is coming next year, 10 speed maybe. I don't really want the HO with the AISIN. There is a definite difference in fuel economy between the Ford and the HO. Either way, I'm probably stuck till later this year for either. I might as well wait to see what 2023 brings for both of them. They are both do for some changes. Nice video.
You really would love going with the F350 with everything included best in the class for has the best performance for trim levels and you can do eight times more of row
Ford also offers an extended cab, dodge went halfway between an extended cab and crew cab. I have 4 gen 2 dodge quad cabs, they need to bring those back or my next truck will be an extended cab ford long bed, plus the flat floor advantage.
@@TQLM I’ve worked at a dealership for 10 years and that’s what customers indicate based on feedback. Especially in the truck segment. 🤷🏼♂️ I personally have no preference.
lets see this trucks in 7 years ram will be rusted out ford wont ford has a better engine to get the megacab is 1500.00 or more plus you loose capacity and the mirrors on the ram suck but you are right best thing on a ram is the interior and i drive a duramax i will most likely buy a new ford 7.3 getting tired of all the diesel shit but good video thanks for putting in the time so we can watch.
Picking up my 22 f350 tremor tomorrow Trading my 6 ram 1500 Certainly going to miss the ram in regards of looks hands down Honestly will probably switch back to a ram 1 ton when they officially come out with the real 5th gens Hopefully I won’t be to disappointed in the ford Keep up the great content!
@@JB_WhoWork just read a article 2 days ago that alot but not all are blowing up..no recall yet but it may come to that..I think it's part of the reason they stopped taking orders for superdutys
@@andymullen1752 to each his own but I think a blacked out (in particular a Tremor-package) SD is one great looking truck and pretty much goes toe to toe with the Ram. I seriously don’t get the Chevys these days tho!
Ram needs a 8 or 10 speed for the diesel. Hopefully they'll surprise us for 2023 so I can order a megacab 3500. If not, I may look at the Superduty. I wish the seats on the mega or any pickup, would recline individually from the middle
A simple S&B intake puts the Ram over the Ford in hp (close in torque). And even with the 8 speed the Ram gets better mileage even stock. '22 Ram 3500 GVWR is 11400, F350 is 10000.
After doing research on trucks for my first contract truck that I will want to LAST and MAKE MONEY for me as a contractor… FORD all day long and every time. Yeah you’ll need to look good on the side of the road when your RAM is on F’in Fire LMFAO😂
IF the 7.3 had a bulletproof transmission ford would has win the game. The interior on the ram wouldn’t matter as most truck people want performance and reliability over interior if they are using the truck. For a everyday person that doesn’t tow then interior means more. It’s really become a ford vs RAM war and GM really isn’t in the game. It’s clear when you see what people pick work trucks that tow 24 7. You really can’t go wrong with ford but do to the transmission you have to buy the extended warranty where RAM you probably do not have to if you decide not to. I never liked the idea when manufacturers try to build a transmission when they need to leave it to the company’s specializes in it. 4.30’s is not really a win for the ford as gear sets can change is easy if you really want lower gears in the RAM. Transmission is not something you can change.
Idk I like the comparison, I have owned a 2500 and 3500 Ram. And have a lot of friends who have fords. They are pretty trucks. And I think they are a good brand. But facts t of matter to me. No where does ford or Chevy prove their true payload for the actual truck you buy… that being said a cord has. High payload “advertised” but think a single cab basic option work truck is going to have an awesome payload. But once you add the crew or double cab and exotic features you take away from what the frame can handle. Ford and Chevy don’t offer the actual vin payload… only Ram does on their website. Ford say highest payload but for a single cab .. single cab people … they never give you an actual payload for your vin.. .. I see alot beautiful new fords they look tough they adds look touch but sayin ain’t doing .. I never see any old ford trucks. I see alot of old rams. And some old Chevys if you got money to buy the brand. I mean no offense to ford or Chevy owners but please test my payload theory can you find your actual payload vs what Ram won’t lie to you with entering your vin on the website..?
Coil Springs is a better ride in the rear. But under heavier loads coil springs do not perform as efficient as leaf springs. You have too much sway where is a leafspring you do not have as much sway, or carrying capacity. That’s why they added the airbags. Too much shit to go wrong. As far as the mega cab it’s really cool until you look at the bed and you realize you have the bed of a Honda ridgeline. Interior wise the Dodge is nicer but it’s got too many damn buttons. But it is a nicer interior you just don’t have the room. And the power trains are no comparison. Are used to be a dodge guy but after so many breakdowns I bought a 6.7 L power stroke and I absolutely dominate my Dodge friends. But they still try and give me shit lol
I like both trucks, but for me what matters most is the interior. We do long road trips pulling our camper and I only have 1 child so the back seat isn’t that big of a deal. The light grey & tan options for the Ford interior are hideous to me. You have to step up to a Lariat to get a dark interior which puts many people over budget.
RaM wins .....especially a Ram long bed. Ford will never be comfortable while towing. Ford people care so much about mpg ew. Only cool trim level ford offers is king ranch .
I gotta go with the ford overall according to this video 🤣 and the fact that im a ford guy! Honestly tho, in the truck segment im not as die hard of a ford fan as i am a mustang fan. I really think i would pick the ford but i cant say that until i see them in person. And i would have to include the chevy as well. Chevy kinda got the yota syndrome and stopped making updates until now and kinda fell outta the conversation because of it. Still a reliable truck overall and capable but same engine and interior for too long and the 6.6L gas is underwhelming imho
I drive and tow 18- 20k with 2022 f350. Decided to rent a 3500 ram daully high output, I was completely disapointed tows like crap. Uphill, where the ford would do 70 without much effort, the ram would not go above 55. Not impressed at all. Hands down, Ford all the way
I'll never buy another Ford truck with that 10 speed that has lawsuits and build quality is 👎 I'll take a Ram and give up some room and know I'll stay out of the service department alot less..RAM
Straight 6 will outlast any v8, less moving parts, simpler and does not break down oil as fast as v8. Also, Straight 6 regens less and makes turbo last longer because it's not being cooked in valley from all the heat.
Great review. You forgot to add that the Ram body will rust out over the years verses the ford lol. If I ever buy another HD I will try Ram out. Just hate you have to get the mega cab to get the cab room of the ford.
Ok JB, I need some help here. I know that for in the future I want a Ford F-350 SRW crew cab 4x4 short bed 4.30 gears 7.3L to tow a fifth wheel (the Forest River Sabre 37FLL) which has a GVWR of like right at 15K. But I am undecided as to which truck I want now to tow a Travel Traiker with (the Forest River Wildwood 31KQBTS) which has a GVWR of like right at 10K. I am undecided if I want the Chevy 2500HD crew cab short bed 3.73 gears 6.6L gas, Ford F-250 short bed crew cab 3.55 gears 7.3L or the Ram 2500 short bed crew cab 4.10 gears 6.4 Hemi. In your opinion which would be better for the TT? Me and my family don’t go camping that often (currently stay in a cabin when we do) and I know that we won’t be going too far as we are buying a house. So for me a diesel just wouldn’t be justifiable right now.
JB, you nailed it. I cross shopped the F250 against the Ram 2500, both diesel configuration. Drove them back to back and when it comes down to it, I prefer the look and feel of the Ram, but I needed the capacity of the Ford's 10800 GVW. On the road, the Powerstroke is quieter than the Cummins, which my wife noticed right away. The Mega Cab reduces payload to where the payload is nearly useless for my requirements. The ride of the 1 tons are a turn off, let alone finding one at ANY price right now. I bought a Lariat last week and I fell in love with my Ford. Still at the end of the day, I couldn't find the perfect combination of trim and features I wanted on either, waiting months for a custom order wasn't an option. The Ford gave me what I need today. Both are awesome trucks. Sorry GM guys, I can't stand the look of their new HD's, non-starter.
Good stuff, thanks for sharing!
The larger cab, bed, and performance sold me on the ford. I've had both over the years and like both.The ford interior has everything i need and I've been putting a key i in the ignition for over 30 years.also like ford's mirrors better. I've never been a gm fan though.
If you spend a lot of time driving unloaded lowering the air pressure in any truck greatly improves the ride. I just air up if I'm going to tow heavy. My f 250 rides amazing with less air in the tires
Dan A. : I had to double check to see if I wrote this comment (above). My sentiments as well. I have had numerous pickups over the last 50 years. Mostly Fords, a few Dodge's and one GMC. Just not a GM guy at all. Prefer the Fords over the close 2nd of the Ram. I ordered a 22' F350 because of the 7.3L gas & 10 spd tranny; I just lean Ford way overall.
Good luck with the new ride herb!
@@dana.6695 I rec'd it in Sept. Have towed a 7200# tt on a snowbird trip ~4k miles. Ran & pulled like a champ. No issues or regrets.
@@dana.6695 I do the same, and it does make for a better ride. The challenge around me is finding a road without potholes.
I've had a 2021 Ram 2500 laramie, eff that coil suspension on rough roads my laramie was a quad cab, I prefer the leg room and the comfort that my 2023 Ford 250 has, my kids appreciate the more leg room in the back seat of my F250 also. I have always leaned towards Dodge trucks I have a cattle operation and have mostly used Rams but this 2023 F250 is way more comfortable and rides way better going down the road. For a work truck work horse and a more economical choice Dodge every day. With that being said as far as ride and comfort chevy or gmc is the most comfortable rides on the road, my 2019 gmc pulled great and road great and did well on fuel mileage, just had some weird issues off and on with it, some electrical and a warranty issue with my fuel pump that went bad with less than 10,000 miles but damn it was comfortable to ride in. All of them have their good and bad it just comes down to what checks the most boxes overall. I still love the Dodges and my next may be a Megacab 2500 idk..good video thanks for sharing.
I like the coil springs on the Ram. I think the radio looks good in the ram but I much prefer knobs for my a/c control. It’s just much quicker. I live in Texas so it could be 40degrees in the morning and 90 when I get off work.
Ford F-250 7.3L w/ 10spd. Better HP/Torque, Better Transmission (RAM can't build a great transmission so had to outsource to ZF '6.4L gas', Aisin for 3500 6.7L diesel). Ford has better payload, more room in cab, Ford being built in the USA is a nice plus too to support USA manufacturing jobs (vs Mexico for RAM).
I always had Ford's and never had a problem with them, they always did what I wanted them to. I bought a Ram back in 2002 and and while I liked it for driving and smaller loads I ended up trading it in. I needed the payload capacity Ford had. Just towed and hauled the weight better. I almost bought a 22 model Ram as the years have gone by, and I see they are very popular and priced cheaper, but in the end I went with the 7.3.
I like the coil and the space of ram if you get a mega cab. Literally a twin size bed in the truck for road trips but as of now the 7.3 can’t be beat being a gas engine in a heavy duty truck for a faction of what a diesel will cost. All truck manufactures have their pros and cons buy what will put a smile on your face as you go down the road. Keep it between the mustard and mayonnaise my friends!
Ram to me is built cheaply. I’ve owned both. I bought a Ford F-350 Tremor with the 6.7. The Ford has a ton of power, gets good fuel mileage with the 10 speed, rides nice. Ford is built in the US versus Ram in Mexico. I haven’t had one issue with my truck and I’d never go back to RAM. My last truck the RAM 3500 shit the transmission at 95k. Only good thing I can say about RAM is the warranty and of course the Cummins.
I owned 22' Chevy Silverado 16' For Lariat and now 22'
Ram Big Horn. It's between the Ford and Ram. But you have to spend a lot money to get a nice comfortable Ford where the Ram was awesome at the Big Horn Package.
The looks are a no brainer. Ram wins that hands down. Cab to the Ford. Interior to the Ram. Engine is a slight win for the Ford. Ram ride on the 2500 for sure. Ram color scheme is great. Winner= Ram. Thanks JB.
Thanks David!
Thanks for this review! And nice touch adding your children in the video - instantly added some credibility as a family man. I've owned both a ford and dodge and they both had their pro's and con's BUT it seems like RAM is starting to really gain market share - for good reason.
I’m in a ford, but I’ll give you the interior design on the Ram. My issue over the years is that all Dodge vehicles I’ve owned over the years would start to shit the bed with electrical issues around 105k. Yeah, yeah, I’ll hear all the crap from the lovers, but my experience turned me off the brand. 3 vehicles, issues in all and the last almost put me through a guardrail with the power cutting off. I can’t trust them.
I would like to have one of each but currently have a 17 powerstroke.
I would prefer the powerstroke over cummins, but like the interior and ride quality of the ram.
Rams the one you want and the one you need!
You can’t be serious.
I like the blacked out no chrome look of the Ram.
Ram 1 ton Cummins paired with the Aisin and you have the best of the best.
Agreed. I have a 2019 mega cab 3500 HO. And sure it shifts like a dump truck, but the trans will also pull a load like a dump truck.
@@dadcooksfood9956 exactly….Aisin was built for commercial applications…..made for heavy duty pulling. I want a transmission that will last and the Aisin is proven in that area. Ford’s 10 speed will not hold up..and Allison doesn’t make the same transmission you see today.
Truth. I just want a work truck that is very dependable and not expensive. I don’t care about power seats, heated seats, touch screen, boss sound system…I just need a work truck! It’s a truck not a luxury car. What happened to all the man trucks?
Giving up my 2014 ram 1500 for a 2024 f-250 Tremor 7.3. Have enjoyed the ram but it’s time for a change and new truck smell.
The Ram 2500 has by far the best ride of any HD truck. Thats its best selling point. The 6.4 Hemi is inferior to the 7.3 in every way. Thats not negotiable. Plus that MDS is a MAJOR turn off. I have a '20 F350 Tremor 7.3 with and put 29,000 on it since day 1. Its a great damn truck. Stiff ride. Alot more payload(4400lb) which helps alot for 5th wheeling and haulin. The ride is rougher than the Ram but more capable.
Cant wait for a truck that has the Ford room and ride, The Ram Diesel and the Chevy Transmission. Sign me up! To answer your question, I will be ordering a 2023 Ford 350 Diesel. The only reason why is because my 2014 Ram looks almost the same as the 2022 Ram. It feels like the same truck. I cannot get past it feeling the same. Maybe they will do a major change for 2023????
I like to be able to park in tight spots Ram being shorter is why a lot of people buy it.
forgot to mention that the 7.3 is a $2045 option. The standard Ford V8 is like comparing the 6.4 to the 7.3.
True but RAM doesn't have anything to compete with the Ford.
You know I always hear that ford makes the best chassis for there trucks, frame, ball joints actual components under the truck. But ram has a slightly smoother tranny. But honestly what I took from this is if you tow every now and then and what something that’s comfortable and nice on the inside get the ram. But someone like me pulling 8-9k a day year round I want a better put together truck. Plus the ford has the power and the gearing to pull all day every day. And the 7.3 is the icing on the cake I guess. I like both…if I wasn’t pulling 24/7 I would most definitely drive a ram.
Ram all day!!
Howdy JB! My F250 7.3/4.30 Supercab has a 3300lb cargo capacity w/ a 10k GVWR. I did not spec my truck for max cargo or GVWR, as one can opt for a long bed Supercab gas truck w/ over 4000lb cargo and over 11k GVWR. Of course, the regular cab in any truck will give you more capacity. Ram interior is great, and the ride w/ coils is better. I chose what I chose in order to limit the amount of tech in my truck, as more tech equals more possibility of break-down... on any of the big 3. Let's face it, there is a quality control issue for all 3 truck manufacturers right now. Great video, JB!
That's great capacity, thanks for sharing!
And the fights begin😂
Jb you nailed it. But the looks of ram is way batter than ford in and out hands down. If ram would up there cab size and bed length it will be better in all big three brand.
Thanks and I agree, the cab is holding this rig back...
Oh Brother,
Ha-ha... NOT Triggered😮. I've love my RAM's (an Outdoorsman & a Laramie).
My dream truck is the RAM 2500! The MUST HAVE & Game Changer for me is the RAMBOX option!!! It makes tool & Sway/Load Level arms access a dream. I also love the Coil & Quad Air Suspension Option!!! My Outdoorsman had the air suspension option, crazy awesome!
My needs are more modest in towing weight (less than 10,000 lb) so the that RAM interior is a crazy benefit too!
Fun review!
Cheers, Eric
I'm a Ford man. Ford fans, gonna love Ford, Ram fans gonna love that goat. Just how it is. GM fans are clueless.
Nice video. Ram seems to win every video I see of yours💪
Nice side by side comparisons bro! At the end of the day they will all get it done. Pick the one you like. For me personally seating position and interior design fit and finish and layout of controls is what sways my choice. I want to spend time looking at and interacting with something comfortable, stylish and functional. Exterior style would be my second choice. 🇺🇸💪
Good point, I like the Ford, but for me the RAM does feel right at home! Thanks Bro
When I went out looking for a new 3/4 ton truck to upgrade from my F150 I started at the ford dealer. i liked the F250 Lariat but it rode like an old stagecoach. I wasn't even considering the Ram until I sat in it and test drove it.
i instantly chose the Ram 2500 knowing my wife would bitch about the rough ride in the Ford.
JB is right they're both great trucks for different reasons. pick yours for your own reasons not anyone else's.
100%
Could you discuss the status with Ford and the “Death Wobble?” You say, “Ram Work!” Has Ford fixed the “Death Wobble?” Can we rely on Ford to take responsibility for their errors?
Ford hasn't fix steering damper problem yet. My 19 Ford was replaced( warranty coverd)2 months. Will never own another Ford again. I have a list of problems with this truck...lol
I purchased both Ram and Ford same time to see which is better. Ram all the way. No hesitation
@@mpuuloa i drove a ram 5500 and a F550 back to back and honestly the Ford is the better truck, built for actual work not just looks.
I was a ram 2021 2500 6.4 it rode great, better than my 2019 f250 6.2 both were 4x4 ext cab short bed trucks. Both have 3:73 gears the 6.4 walks all over the 6.2. The 7.3 for the win in gas pulling power. The brake system for the ram is horrible and spongy, the ford brake system is a better feel and better stopping power.
I'll take the ram anyday
In fairness, Ram and Ford are both excellent. They both destroy the competition, if you want to call it competition
JB I’m glad to see you are doing good man. As someone who was also pushed out of an engineering job because the company didn’t like my side business I understand. We only get stronger when we are kicked...
My pick is Ram truck all the way, although I think the ford trucks have always looked better than Dodge.. sorry ram family but they do !!!!
It was a shock especially when I didn’t have a say in the situation. My gears have been really moving lately and I have some ideas so cheers to the future. RAM is the better truck when you consider the 1 ton and medium duty segment but ford has the better 3/4 ton 👍🏾
Great lookin trucks! (Both of em)
I guess one thing that sold me on my rig was what I wanted for capabilities. I have a Silverado 2500 with Duramax, I've got 3300lbs payload. I had originally been pricing a RAM 2500, but seemed really hard to impossible to get over 3000lbs payload. As another side note... I'm really intrigued by Ford's 7.3 in a 3/4 ton truck. I'm thinking hard here!
I'm not brand specific. Love the look of that RAM!
Thanks for sharing bro!
I have a 2022 Limited Longhorn fully loaded with air bags, it rides like a tank!! Especially when towing my 24' 6700lb travel trailer. Worst riding truck I have ever owned. When the air bags are deflated the hitch ball does not clear the trailer coupler because the ball only drops down 1.5" and the ball is 2" tall.
I own both and like both! There great trucks either way!
XLT 302A you get a 10” screen and also a better gauge display
Ram cons: 1- it doesn’t have the 7.3 2- fuel tank is way too small 3- some things are quirky as it relates to its size and shape.
Ford Cons: 1- it doesn’t have the ZF8 2- it’s expensive and doesn’t allow certain features until higher trims 3- dated interior and the most annoying chimes
I got a 22 ram tradesman, gray in color, nice truck, for a f250 xl ford wanted like 8 grand more with the 6.2 and 6 speed, love my ram
He likes ram you can tell. For good reason though. That interior is awesome AND the sound system is WAY better in my opinion if you care about little things like that.
Thanks for another great video, I own a 2020 ram 1500 with a hemi no E torque, but I enjoy watching the content that you produce because I enjoy unbiased reviews that gives me insight and information well beyond my current application. Good job!!😷👍✌️🤪
Thanks Robert, glad you enjoyed the video!
For me the extra cab room is a non issue because I rarely haul people back there and when I do they have plenty of room for our use. The Ford is 4 in longer in the cab and the mega cab is 4 in Longer than the Ford. I don’t see why Ram would switch cabs because this gives them a price advantage. And lots of folks buy the mega cab JB. Lol.
Bottom line is Im always excited to jump in and drive my Ram. Does Ford have dual pane windows on their higher models? Does Ford have fast Cab heating and cooling? Also the speaker system in a Ram cuts noise over 58 db in the top models.
Let’s face it they both are incredible trucks. You can’t go wrong. The 7.3l is a beast but the Ram 6.4 is no slouch.
No doubt the Ford looks bigger. Every time I pull next to one my Ram feels little. But I’ll stay w Ram. Adaptive steering is awesome and I like the Sound of a Ram. The 6.4l has some nice tone. Great job on this video JB!
Good stuff, I feel right at home in my RAM lol! it would be hard to switch based off my options. thanks!
I own a 2019 Ram 3500 mega cab Cummins HO. And I’m looking at adding an F350 dually to the stable. It will be a PowerStroke King Ranch. I’ll have to order one though as I don’t want to settle, and I’m not in a rush.
My wife and I have Ram pickups. I drive Fords at work for a goverment owned utility. A Ram Tradesman has better base equipment than the other brands. But that 7.3 motor is awesome! And the 4.30 axle ratio from the factory is great for 35" or 37" tires.
But in my area, the Ram dealer is better. Twice I was in the Ford dealer showroom. They were courteous, but didn't help me buy a vehicle. I went across the street and bought from the Ram dealer. I go vehicle shopping with a folder that has a print out of the 3 vehicles from each brand that I am considering. The Chevy dealer is a very good dealer , with an excellent sales force. I just didn't like what they had on the lot. The Ford salesperson was offended that I had 9 print outs. The Ram salesperson was more than happy to show my wife and I all 3. And after showing us all 3, they asked for the sale!
I bought a 2003 Ford SUV brand new. I still have it. And my son drives it. The only thing that failed on the Explorer, the alternator went out at 170k miles. That salesman asked for the sale. That dealer was in a town that I was doing a work project. They also sold Jeeps, and in the big picture a Grand Cherokee beats an Explorer for use I needed. But the Jeep rebate expired. While the Ford rebate was still good. I needed a 4wd for the snow. And like todays question. I shoulda bought the Ram 2500 Quadcab diesel the month before for the rebate. I still would bought a SUV eventually. But I would still have the Ram today too! Back then, neither gas engine was all that good. Today that Godzilla engine is fabulous! So the real answer is buy the one that best meets your needs. And hopefully you get a good price and good financing (if needed).
Thanks for the comparison. Good explanation on both
I've been seeing more Dodge trucks stuck on the side of the road. However my son works for a Ford dealership and he says don't ever buy a new Ford truck unless you hate your life. So I'd say go with a Chevy for longevity. Unless you really need the absolutely peak power.
A/C and Heat way better in a ford too. Then again when you get out of the ford the damn doors don't unlock on the passenger doors automatically which means a second trip to the panel on the drivers door.
They are both great trucks! I’m a fan of the Ram’s look, inside and out! If the Ram had the Ford’s powertrain… 🤨 we wouldn’t be having this conversation!
The kids are like can we go home now daddy im creeped out
Nice video. I agree 100% that each truck brand has their own unique advantages over the other brands and I will add that truck guys especially are brand loyal so at the end of the day it really don’t matter lol.
But since I don’t like either of these two (joking about that, but I am a Chevy guy) I can give a true non biased opinion of both. I’ve drove and rode in both a decent amount (never drove a 7.3) and I can without a doubt say the front passenger side of the Ford is more comfortable to ride than the Ram. It’s because of that hump in the floorboard. I also can say without a doubt that the rear of the Ram is more comfortable to ride in even though it is noticeably smaller. It’s all about the floor board too and how Ford has it raised up to be flat. Add a sunroof to the Ford and it’s terrible. There’s no headroom at all.
I’d take the Ram even though it does have the cylinder deactivation technology. They are a lot better looking trucks in my opinion. I’m not sold on the coil springs being better than leaf’s or even as good as but they seem to do OK and for what I pull they would be fine. Also, the Hemi is a pushrod design engine too. I’m not sure about materials used but it’s a pushrod engine. And since you mentioned the Fords 4 bolt mains, the 6.6 Chevy has 6 bolt mains 😎.
LOL, glad you pointed out the advantages of the Chevy LMAO! I hope to see some updates to compete with Ford.... At least a optional 10 speed! Thanks for sharing, always great info!
@@JB_WhoWork got to keep you on your toes.
I would have liked to seen the 10 speed optional too but it does seem like Ford is having their issues with it. I’m not sure if it’s actual problems with the transmission or people just unhappy with it hunting gears but there is grumblings about it online.
This is sort of unrelated to this video but I watched a TFL review of an F150 King Ranch today with Tommy Micah and he actually mentioned the raised rear floor in the back of the Fords and how it can be uncomfortable for taller people. I’ve been saying that literally ever since they made the flat rear floor! I think it was 2009 model year.
Well you definitely hit the nail on the head about the GM gas Powertrain, they set out to be the most reliable.
I remember you mentioning that awhile ago, they should hire you on their team 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork wouldn’t that be nice lol.
I gave Ford a lot of credit when they announced the 7.3 and that it was going back to an OHV (pushrod) design. Just in my opinion that’s a better engine design. Makes for a more compact overall size, and less complex design.
What kills it for me is the cab size on the RAM. Otherwise I wouldn’t mind a RAM at all.
LED headlights and taillights are nice too for that price.
For those mentioning the roomier cab space in the ram…. What are yall doing in your trucks? I typically just sit in the drivers seat and turn the wheel
I'm actually in this very dilemma right now. 35 year Ford guy, but I like the looks of the Ram as well. I'm looking at dually diesels, and you can't find them. I will have to wait till 2023 for the Ford because the order banks are now closed on the 2022's. I drove both diesels (LARIAT and LARAMIE) in the 3/4 version. I could find those. The Ram definitely has the nicer dash, but worse cab. The Ford seemed to handle the bumps nicer, which surprised me a lot. The Cummins exhaust brake is top notch. But the Ford has just ungodly amounts of power. Holy crap. Still don't know. I can order the Ram for this year, but the Allison is coming next year, 10 speed maybe. I don't really want the HO with the AISIN. There is a definite difference in fuel economy between the Ford and the HO. Either way, I'm probably stuck till later this year for either. I might as well wait to see what 2023 brings for both of them. They are both do for some changes. Nice video.
Ram all day for me ,wish they still offered the quad cab too.I have zero need for a giant crew cab
Without watching the video at the no brainer Ford 4 the win
You really would love going with the F350 with everything included best in the class for has the best performance for trim levels and you can do eight times more of row
Ford also offers an extended cab, dodge went halfway between an extended cab and crew cab. I have 4 gen 2 dodge quad cabs, they need to bring those back or my next truck will be an extended cab ford long bed, plus the flat floor advantage.
Many people prefer the key over the push button.
Why?
@@TQLM I’ve worked at a dealership for 10 years and that’s what customers indicate based on feedback. Especially in the truck segment. 🤷🏼♂️ I personally have no preference.
WINNER
GAS-Ford
DIESEL-RAM
Everyday truck accessional camping-GM
Man that Ram looks good blacked out! And it is always better to be Cummins than a Stroke...
It’s is rather be cummin then stroking get it right bud!
😂😂😂
lets see this trucks in 7 years ram will be rusted out ford wont ford has a better engine to get the megacab is 1500.00 or more plus you loose capacity and the mirrors on the ram suck but you are right best thing on a ram is the interior and i drive a duramax i will most likely buy a new ford 7.3 getting tired of all the diesel shit but good video thanks for putting in the time so we can watch.
Thanks for sharing!
In my world, only the bosses drive Rams. It’s a prestige thing. Fords make great crew trucks.
I like both but I’ll go with ford
The biggest issue I have with the Ram is the shift knob. If they had the shifter I would be all for them
The Cummins still use the column shifter
On the 6,4 and the 7,3 you have to pay almost 3000 dollar more to get the 7,3 were it less when you get the 6,4 or the 6,6 chevy
Picking up my 22 f350 tremor tomorrow
Trading my 6 ram 1500
Certainly going to miss the ram in regards of looks hands down
Honestly will probably switch back to a ram 1 ton when they officially come out with the real 5th gens
Hopefully I won’t be to disappointed in the ford
Keep up the great content!
That's awesome!!!!
Love that 7.3 engine but that 10speed is having issues..ill take that Ram
Yikes, I heard some UA-camrs who do hotshot talking about issues a year or so ago but still...
@@JB_WhoWork just read a article 2 days ago that alot but not all are blowing up..no recall yet but it may come to that..I think it's part of the reason they stopped taking orders for superdutys
Putting that blacked-out Ram next to the chrometastic version of the super duty wasn't doing that Ford any favors. Nice video and good information!
I wish I could have had apples to apples but to have a Ford HD at a dealer has been looking for big foot lol! Thanks
the only way to make that Ford look good is to put it next to a Chevy
@@andymullen1752 to each his own but I think a blacked out (in particular a Tremor-package) SD is one great looking truck and pretty much goes toe to toe with the Ram. I seriously don’t get the Chevys these days tho!
Ram also have interior sound quality over for as well as design in terms of road noise.
Great video JB.. This video is one of a kind. 🔥🔥
Thanks DeMario!
Ram needs a 8 or 10 speed for the diesel. Hopefully they'll surprise us for 2023 so I can order a megacab 3500. If not, I may look at the Superduty. I wish the seats on the mega or any pickup, would recline individually from the middle
6 speed aisin works good why change something that works?
That damn ford door chime would drive me nutty.
RAM ALL DA WAY
Sexy(like me), comfortable and reliable
Ford HUH! 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
A simple S&B intake puts the Ram over the Ford in hp (close in torque). And even with the 8 speed the Ram gets better mileage even stock. '22 Ram 3500 GVWR is 11400, F350 is 10000.
Great video. I’m with Ford.
After doing research on trucks for my first contract truck that I will want to LAST and MAKE MONEY for me as a contractor… FORD all day long and every time. Yeah you’ll need to look good on the side of the road when your RAM is on F’in Fire LMFAO😂
IF the 7.3 had a bulletproof transmission ford would has win the game. The interior on the ram wouldn’t matter as most truck people want performance and reliability over interior if they are using the truck. For a everyday person that doesn’t tow then interior means more. It’s really become a ford vs RAM war and GM really isn’t in the game. It’s clear when you see what people pick work trucks that tow 24 7. You really can’t go wrong with ford but do to the transmission you have to buy the extended warranty where RAM you probably do not have to if you decide not to. I never liked the idea when manufacturers try to build a transmission when they need to leave it to the company’s specializes in it. 4.30’s is not really a win for the ford as gear sets can change is easy if you really want lower gears in the RAM. Transmission is not something you can change.
Love this content!!!
Thank You!
Idk I like the comparison, I have owned a 2500 and 3500 Ram. And have a lot of friends who have fords. They are pretty trucks. And I think they are a good brand. But facts t of matter to me. No where does ford or Chevy prove their true payload for the actual truck you buy… that being said a cord has. High payload “advertised” but think a single cab basic option work truck is going to have an awesome payload. But once you add the crew or double cab and exotic features you take away from what the frame can handle. Ford and Chevy don’t offer the actual vin payload… only Ram does on their website. Ford say highest payload but for a single cab .. single cab people … they never give you an actual payload for your vin.. .. I see alot beautiful new fords they look tough they adds look touch but sayin ain’t doing .. I never see any old ford trucks. I see alot of old rams. And some old Chevys if you got money to buy the brand. I mean no offense to ford or Chevy owners but please test my payload theory can you find your actual payload vs what Ram won’t lie to you with entering your vin on the website..?
Coil Springs is a better ride in the rear. But under heavier loads coil springs do not perform as efficient as leaf springs. You have too much sway where is a leafspring you do not have as much sway, or carrying capacity. That’s why they added the airbags. Too much shit to go wrong. As far as the mega cab it’s really cool until you look at the bed and you realize you have the bed of a Honda ridgeline. Interior wise the Dodge is nicer but it’s got too many damn buttons. But it is a nicer interior you just don’t have the room. And the power trains are no comparison. Are used to be a dodge guy but after so many breakdowns I bought a 6.7 L power stroke and I absolutely dominate my Dodge friends. But they still try and give me shit lol
My 2023 RAM 2500 Diesel can pull 19,000 lbs though.
I like both trucks, but for me what matters most is the interior. We do long road trips pulling our camper and I only have 1 child so the back seat isn’t that big of a deal. The light grey & tan options for the Ford interior are hideous to me. You have to step up to a Lariat to get a dark interior which puts many people over budget.
RaM wins .....especially a Ram long bed. Ford will never be comfortable while towing. Ford people care so much about mpg ew. Only cool trim level ford offers is king ranch .
I gotta go with the ford overall according to this video 🤣 and the fact that im a ford guy! Honestly tho, in the truck segment im not as die hard of a ford fan as i am a mustang fan. I really think i would pick the ford but i cant say that until i see them in person. And i would have to include the chevy as well. Chevy kinda got the yota syndrome and stopped making updates until now and kinda fell outta the conversation because of it. Still a reliable truck overall and capable but same engine and interior for too long and the 6.6L gas is underwhelming imho
I drive and tow 18- 20k with 2022 f350. Decided to rent a 3500 ram daully high output, I was completely disapointed tows like crap. Uphill, where the ford would do 70 without much effort, the ram would not go above 55. Not impressed at all. Hands down, Ford all the way
I have had both in last 3years. Ram is not even close to Ford. Run, don’t walk, away from any Ram!
I'll never buy another Ford truck with that 10 speed that has lawsuits and build quality is 👎 I'll take a Ram and give up some room and know I'll stay out of the service department alot less..RAM
Yea TowPiglet was talking about this awhile ago.
That 7.3L is not an advantage. Check the reliability. Once bugs are worked out it will be a beast.
Right now though……
Ram much better
Ram 2500 👍👍
With that Ford 350 I would think it can go about eight times bigger towing weight review
Gm is the best driving truck out there........
hey, can you actually measure the cabins inside and out? that would be great
Straight 6 will outlast any v8, less moving parts, simpler and does not break down oil as fast as v8. Also, Straight 6 regens less and makes turbo last longer because it's not being cooked in valley from all the heat.
100%
Now that was a great video.
Thanks Greg!
Great review. You forgot to add that the Ram body will rust out over the years verses the ford lol. If I ever buy another HD I will try Ram out. Just hate you have to get the mega cab to get the cab room of the ford.
Nope false asf
@@hoxton3046 yeah ok
Ok JB, I need some help here. I know that for in the future I want a Ford F-350 SRW crew cab 4x4 short bed 4.30 gears 7.3L to tow a fifth wheel (the Forest River Sabre 37FLL) which has a GVWR of like right at 15K. But I am undecided as to which truck I want now to tow a Travel Traiker with (the Forest River Wildwood 31KQBTS) which has a GVWR of like right at 10K. I am undecided if I want the Chevy 2500HD crew cab short bed 3.73 gears 6.6L gas, Ford F-250 short bed crew cab 3.55 gears 7.3L or the Ram 2500 short bed crew cab 4.10 gears 6.4 Hemi. In your opinion which would be better for the TT? Me and my family don’t go camping that often (currently stay in a cabin when we do) and I know that we won’t be going too far as we are buying a house. So for me a diesel just wouldn’t be justifiable right now.
