Ford vs dodge

Currently driving 2004 ford f150 and it's a piece . First year of updated body style .
I swore I'd never buy another ford but I'm hearing the newer ones are night and day compared to my 2004 . I've heard the new rams are great also . Advice please based off experience.
Edit : would be getting f250 if I went ford route

Ford no doubt

I gotta '05 ram 1500 and '10 f150. Love em both. No problems with either. I did buy the ford because of the bailout issue though, but its still a nice truck. Rides better than the ram and the the cab is huge!

I had an 2006 KR with the 5.4.
That motor sucked arse and sucked gas.
It was also puffing smoke on cold startup, so I'm pretty sure the valve guides were going bad at only 38,xxx. Loved the rest of the truck though. Traded it on a 2008 EXT.
Currently drive a 2011 F250 KR, 20,xxx. No issues, quiet and solid.
I hear that Dodge is way better than it used to be, but I don't have any hands-on with them.
Toyota is a real alternative now, but man, they want a lick for them.

What if you go the Dodge route?
Are all those Cummins still so loud?

I recently drove and evaluated them all before buying. I was "sure" I was getting a tundra, but wanted to check them all out, except Dodge. After a month of extensive homework, I bought the Ram Laramie Crew. I thought if had a better exterior, better highway ride and smoother performance, a nice interior, and solid 3rd party reviews (2013 truck of the year). The private equity guys running Dodge are making the right moves. It didn't hurt that they were more willing to make a deal either.
2 months in and no regrets.
I'm not saying its right for everyone, but at least take the time and effort to come up with your own opinion and don't believe the marketing machine from any brand.
Good luck.

I hate dodge but currently hate my f250 as well...basically because of the motor. 2004 6.0 diesel is a POS, stay away from the 6.0 if anyone wants to go that route.

F250 is baddest 3/4 made.
Especially if we talking 4x4 crew cab deisle lariat or king ranch.
Don't buy dodge.
It's a pos.

Ford makes the best truck right now.

my 02' supercrew has 210K on it, and haven't done a thing to it....
my previous V-6 Ford had 160K on it before selling and never touched it either.
a Dodge has the worst back seat i've ever sat in. literally it is painful. i stay away from anything Dodge, Chrysler, Buick, Jeep, ......
