    So Ford is getting rid of the leather seating trim and rear sliding window for the Lariat trim ? Replacing the leather with Active X? No rear sliding window standard? (11:00) Keyless entry is now a dealer installed option no longer standard? Looks like cost saving, not improved value for the dollar.

    The rebel grille is way to much. But with you guys talking about the size of front ends. Unfortunately its necessary. We keep pushing for more and more power. Well that creates more heat which needs to be dealt with. So more airflow/cooling is a must to keep them alive

    I’ve been a Mopar truck fan for years but the Stellantis era Rams have lost me as a customer. If Ram wanted to sell trucks they would focus on reliability, they would give us the larger cab like we’ve been asking for the last 5 years, and they would make their trucks more enjoyable to drive. I’ve had 3 2019+ Rams, all awful representations of durability and driving experience.

      @@josephscheneck1540 I agree, but the Cummins in the 2019+ trucks is a time bomb in itself. Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge Cummins fan but the CGI block Cummins engines are a failure point all their own. Several diesel mechanic shops on UA-cam, on their websites, and over the phone will tell you that the CGI block Cummins is using is the weakest B-Series block ever produced. It has major design flaws and has been failing regularly before 200k miles. That’s not the quality I know Cummins is capable of and it’s a shame. Move into the 68RFE and AS69RC, Ram took the manual trans out of the picture and didn’t have any great autos for consumers to result to. The 68 can be built to handle power and heavy loads but so can the 10 speeds now, and honestly the 10R100 doesn’t need a whole lot of tweaking to be reliable. The AS69RC (Aisin) has zero aftermarket so if it fails out of warranty the replacement/rebuild cost is astronomical. Pick your battles but shoot man, the Ford has 1 timebomb that can be mitigated with regular filter changes, the Ram is a timebomb that is going to blow up in your face.

    As primarily a Ford owner the blacked out Platinum looks good. Still not crazy about the current super duty in terms of exterior design but the black over the chrome is my personal taste. The Rebel grill on the Ram looks terrible imo but I like the color-matched grill all the way to the right.

    All Ram had to do was put the ZF 8spd in their HD trucks. They don’t need to do anything else. The HP and Torque were fine. Of course more is better but that wasn’t the issue. It was the 6spd auto. Put the much needed 8spd in the HD trucks and be done. Put more heavy duty duel stage coil overs on the 2500 HD truck to raise the pay load.

    Headlights look cool, bumper is fine, but I cannot explain what look they were going for with the grills, especially with the Rebel. Someone asked "what directions should these grill lines go?" and some one said "yes". Also a line grill with a grill mesh behind and around it just screams clashing design. There is a good looking truck in there, just not with those grills.
