Ford F-Series vs Dodge Ram Series

THE BATTLE OF THE PICKUPS
vs
For the record, I don't actually drive a pickup, nor am I really looking for one. I'm a SUV man myself. But given these two choices of pickup trucks between these two companies, I have a hard time deciding what I would rather be driving the most. The impression that I am getting, based on experience, is that the Dodge Rams have the edge in raw power and muscle, whereas the Ford F-series have the upper hand in structural integrity and brute toughness. Aside from that, I think the Dodge Rams look cooler. Lets see what the Shroomery prefers to haul ass with:

rom my experience as a driver and a wrench twister, buy the ford, I've abused the hell out of mine and it still runs strong, I've gone as amny as 40k between oil changes, havent done a trans service yet (113k miles) and have used it for towing trucks, cars and even an 8000lb tractor with an additional 2000lbs of trailer
I've killed 3 dodges, thankfully only one was mine, 2 belonged to employers that did maintain their vehicles, amoung the problems the dodges had were transmissions (3 in mine), heads and the cam, dodge is simply not built sturdy enough, talk to people that own dodges that are a 4-5 years old and check on the recall data for them

I recently bought a truck. I was partial to the Dodges on looks alone until I started researching and test driving trucks. There was no question what it was gonna be once I drove about 50 different trucks...

that's the only thing they are really lacking, is a super-duty.
the rest of their pickups will do laps around these other chodes.

The only foreign pickup that I've been impressed with lately is the Nissan Titan.
It's more Ford F-ish than anything, though.

So? It had a recall. Big deal... Just shows that GM is on top of their stuff.

Anyone who'd abuse a vehicle as bad as you do, doesn't deserve to be driving. 40,000 miles without an oil change!! And you call yourself a mechanic!!
