re: Ram wins first 2019 truck comparison that I have seen

My 2013 tundra has 250,000 miles on it and still no issues. My only complaint is that the seats aren’t nearly as comfortable as the Ford and Chevys and that’s important since I’m in my truck more than my house. 
My co-workers have a GMC and Chevy with similar mileage. They’ve replaced a transmissions in both and a motor in the Chevy. I’ll stick with my Tundra for now.

You just can't take a site seriously when they put a Dodge/Fiat truck first. This is like the GM touting of "Initial quality".

Yeah, but you get 7 mpg. And that is on the interstate.

Don't care. Sierra Denali all the way.

Here's the thing though, is that you still likely paid more for your Tundra than the cost of chevy plus a rebuilt chevy transmission job in 10 years
So I agree with you Tundra's are great trucks, but the idea that a $4000 transmission in 10 years makes it a better truck...that's very debatable.

Typically the newest truck always wins the comparisons. That said, with trucks trending more toward commuter vehicles and away from utilitarian vehicles I’m not surprised to see the truck with the best ride and interior come in on top.

Too bad after you pay $55,000 for a loaded out one its worth $25,000 the next year

I seriously looked at the Tundra, still debating it, and they are sticker priced $20k less than similar Fords and Chevys. Now granted, both Ford and Chevy will be about the same as the tundra when final prices are negotiated
. If Tundra can improve on their gas mileage or actually comes out with a diesel, it may sway my decision when I buy a new truck next year.

Then what's it about? Because you can't compare a $50k truck to a $30k truck. So at some point it is about the money.
A transmission job is 2 days of work at most, so depending on how busy a place is it should be 2-4 days. Sure, that's great reliability blah blah.
If you want to pay a lot extra for that that's great. But plenty of people would rather buy a truck for a considerable savings that they then have to repair in 10-15 years for a minor cost.

Always? I responded to a guy that said it needed ONE transmission job in 250k miles. How is that ALWAYS? The Ford 5.0 and Chevy's may have a lot of small stuff break, but the power trains are very reliable. Not as reliable as a Tundra's, but again cheaper.

I'd bet Tundra owners spend more time at the gas pump over the course of 200k miles than a chevy owner spends going to a repair shop.
I'm not talking smack, but honestly that's probably the truth.
ETA: The difference between 18mpg and 14 mpg on a 26 gallon tank which is both the chevy and tundra's standard size, is 468 to 364 miles per tank. Exactly 100 miles. That's 427 to 549 fill ups over the course of 200k miles. If it takes 5 minutes (low end) to fill up a tank, that's 10.1 hours more a tundra owner spends at the gas pump over 200k miles.
So let's just be fair on time and reliability. I'm simply pointing out that the Tundra is a great truck but its flaws in gas mileage are bigger than people think.

Woah woah woah calm down my man. It’s just a brand of vehicles, not like she’s talking about your mama or your wife.

I think the Ram looks sharp. I'm currently in a F150 and like it, but kind of in the market for a new truck. I'm not ruling a Ram out. The transmission issues that have plagued them have long been solved, even though people still use that as their go-to to bash Rams trucks.

This is my biggest issue with them. The rumor is they are coming out with a Cummins technology based diesel. I will be very interested in the mileage if this happens. Until then if they don't improve their gas mileage, it's behind other trucks IMO.

Haven't read the link yet, but I'm gonna say no they didn't.
OP clearly states that this is between the 3 main domestic automakers. It's like some of you don't read. That's not good since the entire OP was text. You have to read it.

My dad just bought a 2017 Ram with 11k miles from Offlease and its a great truck. I honestly can't believe he did it though and still smh because he had a 2009 Ram that had all the tell tale Ram electronics and AC issues the last couple of years.

GMC Denali 2500HD
Is a million times better then any on that list
While that is true, as a person that actually uses a truck as a truck, including actually using the bed, I'd go with the Chevrolet 2500hd. Assuming you were smart enough to mean with the Duramax, the Chevy gets 1 mpg better than the Denali. Reason being is that with all that extra luxury you're paying for, I guess it adds weight and maybe some additional wind drag, it's enough to cost you 1 mpg hwy and city each. I certainly don't need, and much less, don't care for all that extra luxury...pretty much all new vehicles are loaded and fancy enough on the inside. My next vehicle, probably in about 3 years or so when they're cheap enough, will likely be a 2019 Chevy 2500hd with diesel.
