Good luck. My friend has a new Ram limited its very nice in terms of luxury/ride/features.
I was a die hard GM guy & grew up w/ my dad either driving GM/Chevy or a couple Tundras along the way. All the brands have their issues, some more than others. I had great luck w/ GM vehicles til I ran into their 8 speed equipped Mexican built K2 trucks- mostly junk, but looked great & have nice V8s. Even though I think they’ve done a better job w/ this newest re-design I wanted to have an open mind & have Ford a shot. I’m very glad I did. I’m the most satisfied ever in terms of vehicle purchases....& I’ve had quite a few. Got just under a year & 18k miles into my ownership of 2018 801a screw. No problems other than condensation in a couple of cheapo exterior LEDs covered under warranty.
While nowadays I try & keep my DDs mostly stock performance-wise I couldn’t resist w/ the ttV6 platform of the Raptor & have been running a gearhead tune for a while now. Your minds made up, but if you were on a stock tune I would’ve highly recommended getting it tuned before trading b/c it’s essentially a different ballgame after that. For me- GH’s tune completely refined the driving experience by making that confused 10 speed buttery smooth & dialing in the boost earlier smoothing out the A/f ratios & increasing overall boost while massaging shift torque & TQ mgmt programming at same time = extremely satisfying driving experience. Gain some mpgs & I swear my exhaust note sounds better now too.
I don’t think you’re really tapping into the “real raptor experience” w/o a tune. If I blindfolded you & drove you in a bone stock raptor back to back w/ my tuned one you’d definitely think you’re in a different vehicle all together.

You are deep and sensitive my friend!!
