    Also on the Ram, the reviewer states that the towing capacity on the Ram is 7600lbs but if you opt for the 3.92 axle you get 10,200 on the 4x4.

    Good review on the air ride. Another advantage off road is when the trucks are loaded down to max payload with gear and people the other two trucks will suffer from suspension sag and lose on all the approach, breakover, body and departure angles. The Ram with air ride will level out and lose nothing, making it a far better off road truck than the other two.

    Good review, hopefully the air suspension on the Dodge is proving to be reliable, nice package overall. All good trucks I believe, I do have a 2019 F150 KR and it’s been a great vehicle overall, it corners well and with the aluminum body’s lower weight seems almost sporty. The 3.5 is not set up for high revs but certainly doesn’t lack for power, it seems to tow heavy loads without effort.

    Those are low tow ratings for new trucks. What was the diff gear? My wife's Silverado is rated to tow 12,500, but I also found the only 3.42 in the city. Every other Silverado half ton had a 3.07 or 3.23. I'm sure that made the difference. Also changed the power delivery and helped keep the heavy truck in 4cyl mode when cruising. Still doesn't compete with the Ecoboost, but it isn't slow.

    I feel like I'll never get an unbiased answer to this, but I'm in the market. As I have no brand loyalty to speak of, all 3 of these are realistically in the running (I refuse to buy outside of the former big 3 though). I plan to drive it for 10yrs+. This'll be my first actual truck I've owned (some SUVs and cars before). I won't be doing much, if anything, of the typical modding either like tires, lift kits, suspensions, etc. At most I can see like a tuner chip or something to bump some performance aspects.
    It'll be mainly a daily driver mostly urban but eventually mixed with country roads. I may occasionally haul stuff like soil, trees, bricks, etc (weekend warrior type stuff) and tow very little ever barring maybe a boat or flat trailer with a tractor on it or something.
    The RAMs are kinda ugly to me but they obviously have a lot of things going for them. Fords EB worry the hell out of me for longevity and the alleged fact that they're always working harder to do much. I keep hearing mixd things every review I watch/read and these comments always seem to fill exclusively with biased fanboys. Obviously I'll test drive before I buy, and that may tell me more than I'm expecting alone, but how do I decide?

    10 speed was co-engineered by gm and ford(just so you know), but nevertheless the Ford was not an FX4, all the trailers weighed different amounts, top engines in ram and ford used but not chevy, off road suspension is supposed to be a lot stiffer so you don't bottom out(z71). Overall I did not think that this was a fair comparison for any of them, but I will respect your opinion in trucks, as everyone has there own opinion.

    I’m glad someone pointed out how the Ford interiors feel cheap plastic wise. Plus try to find a nice f150 without a b pillar filled with paint swirls right on the dealer lot too. I still think the fords are nice but I overall like the ram better. A ram with the the 3.92 with the 5.7 is a winning combo. You really can find deals on the ram 1500. Can’t say that about the ford. As far as I’m tracking the ram is the only one offering factory extended warranty. Too me that says something there. Love the hate the ram gets but this isn’t the same truck from the early 2000’s ford fan boys.

    If the Ford feels light does that mean it can carry more then it's weight and does that mean it's powerful and if the ram seems heavy does that mean the engine is having trouble with its weight

I still don't trust Dodge, I am not a fan of a 6cyl from the Ford (yes I am aware that they have the power but they still sound like a lawn mower) Oh and the fact that all three cost way too much for a TRUCK.

    • @Sheepleton
      @Sheepleton Před 6 lety

      I'll agree the 5.3 can't really compete, the 6.2 on the other hand is a freaking monster. Cylinder deactivation isn't the end of the world, manually shift into 8th with the hemi trucks and it kills it but shifts normally otherwise. I get 19.2mpg according to the on board computer in my 16 Ram (80% highway driving) got an exhaust and intake on it and it holds its own against most other trucks.

      Nova Man 5 additional hp for the hemi, 2 extra gears, and air suspension and Ram still has the lowest payload and towing in the half ton segment not bad for a 10 year run I suppose.
      The 2019 5.7 hemi is a carryover too, no hp/tq updates. It’s going to be disappointing for Ram when the 2019 GM mid engine 5.3 out guns the 2019 5.7 Hemi.

Also to bring a 5.3 in to this test, in a truck averaging about 8k less than the others, when for 2k more the 6.2 is available that would make all the difference in the world!

    Unfortunately the IRS considers these to be family vehicles instead of work trucks because of the reduced bed length and increased passenger space, so you can’t take a full deduction for business use. I can’t believe the manufacturers could have known this because they are building very few with extended vs crew cabs. I’ve been to 6 dealers and all they have are crew cabs.

    You do understand the 22" wheels on the Ford actually decreases off-road capability, especially in the snow? The 18"'s or even 20"s on the King Ranch or Platinum would make a significant difference. The Silverado and the Ram have 18" wheels, the additional give in the side walls allows for significantly more grip. Whether you realize it or not what you really did was demonstrate why putting 22" wheels on a truck that is meant for anything other than pavement is a terrible idea.
