...and surprisingly, it was nice. I dunno if I'd want one though, because it doesn't say Ford on it. But it did handle nicely, rode nicely, and I liked how high you sit up in it. But I think my family would disown me if I got a Dodge

 

was it the Hemi?

 

I wouldn't drive a goat.

 

WHAT! you my friend have commited a sin

repent your soul, and drive your ford for 3 day's strait.

 

I posted a very similar post about 4 months ago. I rented a Dodge... nice pick up, great sound, rode smooth... It was a nice truck. No arguements...

 

I parked my 98 next to one like a month ago, and I well, felt small. he sat about 6 inches higher than I did, but was only 3-4 inches longer. If you need to build such a big truck to just drive around and look pretty in, well you must be lacking in some places.



like brains for example.

 

My wife works at DCX and brought home a Ram 2500 2wd Crew 8' box with the Hemi for a weekend. Hard to compare to a loaded 4x4 supercab F-150, but that engine trany combo was excellent. Ride was very stiff unloaded. But when it came right down to replacing our Supercab, we spent our bucks on a Supercrew. IMHO, it is the better truck overall, especially with the great experiences we had with the Supercab. I can only hope our new one treats us as well.

 

They are very nice trucks.

But come back in a year and tell us if you still think they are nice when its been back to the dealer for numerous times to replace pumps, compressors, trannies, etc

 

Trannys are definately one of the biggest problems.

 

Yeah, thats what I heard. But, according to the salesman, they have a new 5 speed automatic transmission designed and built by Mercedes, so its supposed to be better. And they have that 7 year, 70k mile powertrain warranty. But it'd probably be in the shop alot still. If it said Ford on it, I'd buy it in a heartbeat
