Talking From Dodge to Ford

Folks,
Just made the switch from being an avid Dodge Ram owner to buying a 2008 Ford F150 FX4 SuperCrew. It is very sweet, but I guess I don't have to you all that. I have always liked the interiors, but loved the exterior appearrance of the Dodge Rams. I bought a new Dodge Ram last year and drove so badly this winter, I went shopping. I test drove just about everything on the Ford Dealership's lot. I had to give up the Dodge and move on. I have no regrets as I got the truck I wanted w/ 0% financing: Shadow Gray, 20 inch tires, black leather interior, pwr moonroof, pwr back window, pwr pedals, pwr side mirrors, audiophile system, etc. I already added the K&N air intake and a Magnaflow dual exhaust before the rear tire and Line-X spray in. Plus, I just waiting for my Leer 800 series tonneau to come. Needless to say, I am very happy.

Cheers

Personally, all I've owned has been Ford. I had a 64 Malibu. (so it doesn't compare)
When I bought my 08, since I was bored and had nothing better to do, I went to the Chevy, Dodge, Toyota and Nissan dealers prior for some test drives and to look at the new models. I simply didn't like any of the competition. Uncomfortable seats, or cheap dashes. Whiny engines, to rough shifting. No headroom, to no legroom when adjusted so I could reach the wheel comfortably. I'm 5'9" tall. Went to the Ford dealership, and drove out an hour later with my new "girl".
