GEN 2 My truck is gutless !!

[rtmozingo]

Really I would not hate too much on Rams right now (I can’t believe I typed that). The new 2019s are pretty nice, especially when you get to the upper trim levels. The interior on their limited blows away the f150 limited interior. I’m not trying to compare a rebel to a raptor, but to say the New Ram trucks are trash is not fair any more.

I mean, it took them 4 years to get the tech Ford has had since 2015. And we are comparing a 2019 interior to a 2015 one. Is the new interior nice? Absolutely. But when you realize our interior is four years old, it holds up pretty well.

At the end of the day you've got a Ram. The interior is nice, sure - and it is better than a Toyota, Nissan, or Honda - but there's a reason they are dirt cheap.

personally insulting someone because theirs is different is lame, argue with facts, not insults !!

Seriously! Arguments are fine, and when civil they are illuminating. But sometimes you gotta get the garden hose out and separate the dogfight. So stop it or there will be a purse fight at noon in the square!

Right now it’s not fair to say the Rams are dirt cheap. The only Rams that are dirt cheap are the 2019 Classics that are just really left over 2018s. The 2019s are actually MSRPd the same as the equal packaged F150, but you actually get a little more discounts on the F159, and Ford is doing 0% etc.

My point is that it’s not fair to just bash Ram as cheap crap trucks right now, because they really are not anymore.

Now please feel free to bash Chevy all you want!

Sorry to hijack, but your assertion the Limited Ram blows away the Limited Ford is purely subjective and related to ones personal preference. Yes, no doubt the Ram is light years ahead of it's predecessor, but I still prefer the Ford over it. Call me weird, that's ok.

Now back to our regular posting. LOL

Fair point as some may prefer the Fords interior to the Rams. My personal experience was that I was very impressed by the Rams interior. They didn’t have any hard plastic exposed on the dash like the ford does, and I know it dumb but I really liked how they have a holder (w/wireless charger) for your phone that has a slot for the wired charger. It’s a small thing but it keeps you from damaging the cord to your phone. I have no doubt that the 202x Ford interior will be nice as well, it’s just that I was really impressed with what the Ram looked like inside.

FWIW my told told me that I could not buy a Ram, because only D-bags drive them, lol.

View attachment 122374Hu View attachment 122372 I just started driving my 2019 (it was sitting for 2 weeks waiting for the ceramic coat to harden. One thing I noticed is it’s gutless...anything I should be checking for ? I have it set on sports, feels like about 300-350hp. Thanks !

Well, you will be able to trade for the 20 5.2sc coming out. Many of us disgruntled ecoboost owners will be happy to dump our lemons for that. I just hope my cam phaser rattling POS lasts that long.

There is no 5.2sc coming out in 2020 just like you don't have a cam phaser issue.

...or a Gen2 Raptor.

if you really want a surprise , race a 2wd 2.7.

The 5.2sc was confirmed. Ecoboost fan boys keep your rose colored glasses on. It will be the best thing to happen to the raptor. The ecobrrraptor was a huge mistake by Ford. They realize that.
