 Traded a '03 Ram 2500 4X4, 5.8 hemi for this.  Here are my observations so far: The Ram was an excellent truck, just needed something bigger. Best points that Ram has over the Ford are: - Has better storage under front seat, rear seat and front arm rest. - Better cup holders. - Better turn radius.  Best points Ford over Ram: - Better ride when loaded. - Power slide back window. - Lights in outside mirrors. -5-speed auto transmission. Trailer Brake Controller!  If no other reason to buy a Ford, this is it. If you tow, this is the best!
