I don't like the look of the new Fords at all. I think the Chevy and the GMC look the best. I want a Ram truck, tho.

You'll never get to be at Alexander Shunnarah's status with a pickup truck.

The Laramie I bought was 15 grand cheaper than the same class platinum and thought the ram was as nice or nicer(that's an opinion however)

Eta: I think I'm comparing apples to oranges. I should be comparing Laramie vs lariat

Yes. It 100% is. I don't care how many times they put "America" on the label. Budweiser is Belgian.

We have a lease contract with a company called Barco, so I'd guess you're right. I can tell you though the Laramie is one hell of a truck. I'm not a huge fan of the suspension on the 3/4 tons though.

The Cummins 6.7 is very solid and tbh, for a company truck, they are hard to beat in terms of dependability and cost.

If I had to buy/lease a ton of diesel 3/4s they would likely be my choice.

The issue with them is that they aren't as refined like the GM and Ford. A bit noiser and ride a bit rougher. Front end components don't seem to hold up as well.

Still, if I was rocking a company-paid for Laramie, I'd be pretty happy.

I haven't ridden in one of the new ones, but they are quieter than the previous gen so I imagine the ride is pretty good.


It is always a compromise w/ a truck to get the ride to be good when empty, yet not be terrible with a load.

You can spring it soft to ride well empty, but then it squats with a full payload.
That really is tough deal w/ 3/4 tons.

Good. I bought my wife a 6.6 High Country and it rides and pulls well. She wanted a loaded Tahoe so I compromised and bought her that. We didn't need 3rd row seating and I can make her tow the camper while I tow the boat.

Here they are driven by cops, esp the Drug Task Force, or as I call them the Dodge Task Force.

They drive everything from Charger/Challengers, to Ram trucks to Durangos, all unmarked.

State Troopers here in AL also have a few Durangos and Chargers.

So if you see a Charger you can usually buy drugs from it or get arrested. As it seems to be the primary vehicle for both sides.
