I came from an '04 Ram 1500 hemi. Pretty much an even trade overall I feel. Definitely liked the power better and the seats were better. No comparison to the ride and handling of the F-150 though. I think the paint was actually better on my Ram, but it scratched easier. I've made more detailed comparisons between them in the recent past if anyone cares they can search my posts I guess.

If there were no Fords I'd have no problem buying a Dodge, although I think the current rendering of the Ram is absolutely butt-ugly........

seems like toyota is not so good there self, they just wait until its too late to announce that they arnt so good. and i had a friend that loved his dodge too until the motor blew up out of nowhere and they refused to fix it, claimed it was abuse but had no proof it was abused, because it wasnt.

Toyota Recalls 533,000 Tundras, Sequoias


Six injuries and 11 accidents led Toyota to announce that it will recall certain 2004-06 Tundra trucks and 2004-07 Sequoia SUVs to repair faulty steering components. Reports state that a failure of unspecified components can make the large vehicles difficult to steer.

Unlike the Honda recall we posted yesterday, the fact that there have been injuries is significant, as is the size of the recall. We find it odd that both Honda and Toyota made the announcements early in 2007, after the total recall figures for 2006 were announced. If Toyota’s more than half-million recalled vehicles from this incident had been added to its 2006 tally it would have been much closer to GM and Ford’s 2006 recall figures.

All of the vehicles involved in the recall were built at Toyota’s Indiana assembly facility and comes just as Toyota is launching its all-new Tundra pickup being built at the company's new San Antonio plant. The Sequoia will also be redesigned soon. The vehicles share many of the same parts

You're sending the wrong dog into the fight, ridge. The next comment heading your way from all of the Ford haters out there will be a subtle reminder about the cruise control module recall.

You've got to think these things through, bud. I don't think you're doing that...

Yeah... I know. I try to play like a big boy and share the toys though. I can forsee me pulling my Tonka Truck front end loader out of the mix very soon though...

the differnce with toyota and ford on there recalls is ford will go front page with them so they can let people know there is a problem and they are willing to fix it, toyota didnt even let anyone know about this problem until after the recalls of 06 was turned in, i mean i understand ford has its fair share of recalls to but atleast they wont hide them and will come out bluntly with it, some people ask why they do that and all i can say is, because ford knows that they still build a good product and there customers are loyal and willing to come back.

I'd rather take out my little sister's Power Wheel than drive a Dodge.

Dude, Ford didn't know until people started sueing their ***** 'cuz their garage/houses burned down...

...and NO, I repeat NO automaker "goes to the front page" to tell the public of their engineering faux pas. They quietly announce it, send letters to those affected and then the media pounces and splashes it on every TV and newspaper on the planet.

Anywho, how is the OP a troll, hasn't he been around awhile and owned a 'Fiddy?
