    I would warn against anyones blanketed statements of a brand or model. It really has started coming down to a generation or year of vehicle. For example the Tacoma's HUGE rust issue where the frame would rust out and had to be replaced. Ford's 5.4L that had spark plug issues (but this is only a select range of years, not all). Ram's trans problems, etc.

    I know a few guys with ford ecoboosts and love the mpg etc for daily driving. The ram is a gorgeous truck and the new trans and engines are holding up. Chevy seems to be solid as well except their 6.2L having some pcv issues.

    Really you should as recommended above, get a few models and try them out. Then work it down until you pick one.

    Quoted from Frippertron:

    Been awhile since this topic was resurrected. I’m pumped because I just bought a brand new 2019 Ram Bighorn 1500 and WOW!!!! I test drove every other major make and Ram blew them outta the water. No wonder it was this years motor trend truck of the year. I’m not bragging about my purchase just recommending anyone thinking about a full size pick up seriously check out Ram. It really is on another level. Interiors are miles ahead of the competition.

    I purchased a 2019 ram 1500 classic earlier this year. I tried to get a ford or chev/gm but their discounts were none or ~$5k. Ram was $15k off without negotiating. I liked the ram options, as heated seats is a package, heated seat and steering wheel, that is a stand alone. Where ford makes it a $6k package that adds even more stuff you may not want.

    The truck is fine, it is a 4th gen DS so it has the exhaust manifold issue etc. I haven't hauled much but have gotten 22mpg on the hwy and the 5.7 with the 8spd trans is pretty solid. In reality, almost any truck now days will be a great truck, so it really is personal preference.
