Dak, I can say with some certainty, according to your above post, that you might have had some bad luck with the 'Yota? Same with my last GM vehicle, they were pretty good for the most part about correcting things, I kind of got frustrated on one of the many trips to the dealership, he apologized for the vehicle, but said "But hey, we're fixing it, no cost to you" but, as I told him, they put more miles on it than my wife! Anyway, once we were starting to "bump" the mileage for the warranty, it was gone! Good service goes a long way, but having a lemon sort of supercedes that at some point.

That is good news. I would absolutely look at the 6.2 with the 8 speed if it was in the HD.
As well, I wish Ram would mate their new 6.4L with the 8AT. That would be a nice combo too compared to their POS 6speed.
The competition is fierce. Nobody can sit around and "wait" for the competition to catch up.
Ford's warranty denial stigma (well known actually) is the worst part about Ford ownership. Other companies don't do that. I realize the diesel tuner guys have ruined it for us, but us non-tuned guys shouldn't have to fight to get coverage over a rusty spot, ****ty chrome that bubbles, or any other small issue that sours vehicle ownership.

Nope, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm a complete moron who hasn't been around the block a time or two, have any engineering background whatsoever, ignorant about my surroundings, can't read and retain what I read, or give a crap about what I drive.
Feel free to add more insults to the list. It doesn't phase me.

One thing I have to give Dodge(Ram? Fiat?) credit for is putting more differentiation into the 2500 and 3500 pickups. With Ford and GM, they're basically the exact same truck with different badges, and optional DRW.
I just don't know how I feel about the looks. The front clip looks great, but the rest of the truck just looks odd and disproportionate IMO.

Yeah Crystal...
In my experience, a lot of warranty claim denial is dealer specific, I've never had anything real major, but I had issues with an '08 GM vehicle, ended up calling the regional warranty "guru" for GM, problem resolved (eventually). It's still a hassle to have to deal with though... So far, I haven't had any issues with Ford and my son has had real good luck with Chrysler..

Yeah the bed does seem a little tall or wide, depends on you perspective...
Best front clip photo I have...

Absolutely...
I agree 100% what would have been the result if the dealership just fixed it... if it should not require much work (as others pointed out earlier) then it would have been a viable solution... and it was corporate Ford that denied the claim...

From your signature, looks like they lost a loyal customer over some BS...I just can't figure companies out this day and age.

Looks good!
I've been watching those trucks and the performance of the ecodiesel since it debuted. Its a bummer that RAM hasn't fielded the air suspension yet in the 3500s, but I do believe that has potential.
How quiet is the ride compared to the Superduty? I really do enjoy how. quiet my truck is, but I'm curious if they have a quieter cab.
