lol thats it exactly.

I am pretty surprised in the OP, I guess they have a bigger screen but as far as amenities and tech the f250 kills the ram. They didn't seem to have all the same drivers aids and options., do they have cooled seats?

I looked at them expecting them to be cheaper than the fords but I did not find that to be the case, now the 1/2 tons the ram is cheaper.

The only thing the Ram doesn’t have seat wise is the massaging function.

The UConnect system is in no way better than the Ford lol.

I am no fan of the dial shifter, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does become more and more common, just one more electronic gizmo to break and leave you stranded.

The only reason I went with the F250 was LED lighting and the towing technology that it has. The shifter dial in the Ram is super nice too. Very easy to get use to and easier to use than a normal column shifter. Don’t be surprised if you see this style shifter in other brands in the future.

get a f150 limited, youll be blown away with how good there limited interior is

You must be from a warm state. Just as cold inside as outside, for the first few miles anyway.

A buddy has one. Can’t stand the leather color. My main issue with my F250 is the rattle in the interior. It’s coming from the cup holder area on the center console. Drives me nuts. Truck has 2600 miles on it.

That screen is cool but it's too big. Too distracting. I've been driving a 96 Bronco for 18 years with no screen. The SD's screen is on point. I like it.

Check the Ram Forums Connect has many issues recalls on many things and no parts to fix. Don't blame local dealers it's a Fiat/RAM issue Due to the TPMS system constraints lucky to get 20K out of a set of tires.

Please spend some time at Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum before you buy
