That's the 2014 edition on both the 1500, and the F-150 Ecoboost

Millage is basically similar, sorry for metric system

Ram - 38,000K
F150 - 33,000K

the difference in price is 2,000 to the ford being more expensive.
both Crewcabs

as far as reviews went, I had seen this as the only review that favored one over the other.

everything else I see is basically exactly identical.

PROS RAM: upon test drives I found the Ram to be a noticeably smoother ride. and the steering.

CONS: I felt as if the hood was obstructing the vision partially, in the way I assume a nose ring would on a person, It isnt "in the way" as it is simply noticable.
I didn't feel like when I was accelerating down the highway and even in city, it didn't do exactly what I wanted it to do. I guess me and the truck just didn't have a feel for eachother yet.
the shifter was a weird dial, not a shift stick like everything in the world is.

PROS F150: I felt like I had a substantially greater view of the road and my peripherals, as well as I had more space inside the cab.
I felt when test driving, letting off the brake and pressing on the pedal it just accelerated and started going just as I wanted it too, where the RAM i felt when i was giving it what i felt was enough gas, didnt respond as well as I had thought.

CONS: Noticably bumpier ride.
Signal is fucking weird, push up half way to "switch lanes" three blinks, or push up all the way to turn... which it doesn't "click" it just goes, and goes back to neutral I found that weird and frightning since its new.

I know the idea of "not responding like i wanted it too" might seem weird, but I honestly just dont know how to explain it, I didnt do a good job.

lol well it sounds like you're learning towards the Ford.

I owned a 2012 1500 ram personally not a huge fan. Buddy has the 2013 ecoboost, nice truck, fuel mileage not the greatest. I would go for the ford out of those two

Well, yeah normally I am a ford guy always have... upgrading from the 4.6L 2010, which IMO isnt an upgrade i love the 4.6L

But, I mean, i cant stress enough how much of a noticable difference the smoothness truly was in the RAM,

as well, I did find a big difference in the response of my accelleration with the ford.

as small as it is, i do find it equally annoying between the dial shifter on the ram, and the weird signal on the ford.



Yeah, the fuel mileage according to the perfect conditions is almost unoticable between the two a little chip in the ecoboost will greatly increase mileage as well, i just haven't looked up what kinda chips and such the RAM has, so i can't say on that part.

and on that fact, my trade in, the 2010 4.6L its all the same mileage as well, i think in the biggest difference is less than 1MPG difference,

everyone says but those hemis suck gas with a heavy foot, yeah and a twin turbo is gonna suck gas just as much with a heavy foot.



im not worried about the tow capability, as I don't own anything that really considers "heavy tows" except the occasional chevy I gotta pull out

I just got my bikes I carry around and thats really about it.

Why aren't you considering a GMC/Silverado?

Just wondering, I voted the EB

To be honest no for sure reason. I have a nice old 70s Sierra on my farm I've been meaning to fix up, but procrastination is what I do best.

I guess I've just never went and drove and, as as for that test drive in that ram was the first time I've ever driven a dodge truck in my life, pretty much have only driven ford vehicals

You could easily pick a mint low miles 2014 silverado in your budget
What I'd get

My vote is silverado also

You'll be glad if you listen to us

I'd also get silverado over those

oh really? seriously?

well 30k is only like... less than 20,000 miles if that makes a difference?
