Not quite IMO. They did a great job but I still think the Ram holds a small edge. Problem is Rams towing power payload is all in last place in the half ton category.

I guess that will always be a bit of a subjective category... being objective I do feel like Ford and Dodge are going toe to toe in the interior department now (after seeing the 2021)...

Yea, not so much, that was just the fake news argument from the people who got denied and yet another talking point during the GT vs ZR1 debates.
It wasn’t fake news. I’ve seen the “application” to purchase the eco boost GT. “Social Media Presence” is a requirement.

mine think I wonder after now owning a ram with it, when will Ford do an air suspension? Originally it was something I wanted to avoid like the plague but now having it I do t think I’d want to do with out it short of having the TRX

In the longterm, if you plan on keeping the vehicle longer than 5 years, air suspension is a curse. That is why there are aftermarket brands out there that make kits to replace the entire thing with coilovers and remove the air system altogether. FCA vehicles are notorious for having failing systems and Ford likely abandoned it when the Expedition and Navigator air systems became problematic for them. If a bag goes it will take the pump with it and if the pump goes it takes the bags with it. That's what happens nearly every time.

there are countless brands that use air suspension. It’s just a cost factor and the reality is for most buying new cars, they don’t hold their cars longer than 5 years. I know I won’t have my ram for over 5 years.

as far as the system is concerned vs Rams previous iterations, it’s been revamped and the largest concerns with cold weather functionality have been resolved.

I’d really be curious to see the figures of numbers of trucks sold vs numbers of them retained by the original owner for 5+ years.

The ones that I can remember repairing were around 5-7 years old. The Expeditions and Navigators were all 1st gens so they were well past their life cycles.

A couple of the guys on the Ram forum got theirs. Both in black. Black must be the color to get, huh?? LOL
I would have gotten that Ram blue or the red. If I had that kinda cash, but I don't. lol

i noticed that, and it was my color choice as well...but only due to the fact it's the only monotone color they freakin offer. guess i wasn't the only one

Yea I’m willing to bet the choice of black is due to the monotone. It would likely be my choice as well but I’m bias

Yeah, I guess they bought it that way because of the monotone look.
I see 2 Youtubers got one now. Every one that I've seen that has one are all black. lol

Maybe its like when the new wranglers came out. FCA did certain colors in order. So it took months for certain colors to finally come out.

No way this is true!
Fluffing up the TRX big time here. (I didn't watch the video, just scanned for the good parts. Even the "good parts" are mehhh. Seems fake to me. Vehicles weren't really moving out it seemed.)
