Agree on all of that. I LOVE my new Ram and have owned more cummins-powered trucks than i can count BUT--
That new powerstroke is a ****ing monster and gets great fuel economy (compared to my HO). The Tremor is a sweet looking truck.
What kept me away from Ford this time around was the interior. Their interior SUCKS! No one compares to Ram's interior today... no one is even in the same category IMO.
The 6.7 Powerstroke is indeed a beast of an engine for power. To bad they still use the CP4 varient. When I made my decision on which truck to buy next, it was finding the best all around combo. After talking to lots of friends and even a couple of their mechanics, I found that the Cummins/Aisin/CP3 was the best complete drivetrain combo, the interior is vastly superior to the competition, and styling was very appealing. The current Ram has been proven and has shown that it’s currently (IMO) the best over all package in the segment.
I know Ford isn’t going to rest on it’s laurels and the next Gen interior will most likely bridge the gab with the Ram and the transmission will get the bugs worked out. Hopefully they can also figure out the death wobble issue as well. When that day comes, I’ll reassess. I’m not super brand loyal (except Toyota, they have a soft spot in my heart) and have owned vehicles from Chevy, GMC, Ford, Nissan, Honda, Acura, Toyota, Hyundai, and Subaru.
