Ok leather but not as nice as platinum an seats def no where near as comfy
fake alloy
fake wood
nasty air vents
bad layout

I hate the way that big ugly shifter in the dodge.The console just looks way too wide.

I don't like how big that console shifter is in the ram.The console looks too wide and like it cramps up the interior.

to be honest i've seen more rams than f150s but the ram is dull, they don't look much different than last years they are just bluh! the coil spring suspension is crappy cuz you can put a tool box and and air compressor and its already saging to the ground, the f150 in my sig (if it works) has 350k on the original and only engine so go with the f150

The new rams air vents remind me of the ones from an 89 aerostar.

I am not sure how someone could sit in both trucks and say the Dodge is nicer. The Lariat interior blows the Dodge away and the Platnium is nicer then the Lariat.

I don't see how someone could come on an F150 site and expect non-biased answers to this question!

Now the dodge has some great features like the rear coils(if you dont need to tow or haul stuff) and side boxes and errrrrr, ermmmmmmm??????? and some other stuff?? <-----This is exactly the problem with the dodge lol. It has nothing great to boast about. but when you look at both as a whole then the dodge just cant match the f150. Even Dodge owners say the same thing.

I dunno bout you guys.. but this Dodge looks a hell of a lot better than either of those 09 F-150s posted.. I'd drive it..

I do agree the Dodge interiors are definately subpar to the F-150s tho.. and those comparison pics aren't exactly a fair choice..

If you like lifted trucks then perhaps you may find this nice looking but i cant stand lifted truck. What i do know is the 09 f150 and 09 ram both stock next to each other the ford wins hands down. The Ram needs updateing.

Put ya fingers over the wheels and look how dated it looks.

Too bad the Dodge doesn't come like that. Anybody can post a pic of a modded Dodge that looks good from the rear or next to an ugly 03 F150, and then post two pics of a F-150 with goofy looking mods.

Convenient that the picture doesn't show the FRONT of the Dodge.

Just look at any ram front end from the last 20 years and think sad.
