Well i test drove an F150 5.4 2wd ext. cab today and i was kind of dissapointed. It felt very lacking had a nice jump off the line, but nodda after that.

 

This is all I've got to say...

 

lol I love it!

 

Yeah, most people say that...but:

He might be a politician wannabe, but it makes sense.

 

LMFAO i love it. thanks for the laugh. i will drive a ford allways and forever. i owned 1 dodge and it literary fell apart. and chevy has always been a curse word in my house. but thats just my ramble........

 

I had airaid intake, 4.11 gears, cat back exhaust, canned diablo tune, e-fans and underdrive pulleys on street tires pulling low 14's consistently on hot humid summer nights. I'm sure a better intake, full exhaust, a custom tune, stall, and stickier tires 13's could be done.

 

They are takign 10 - 12K of new Dodge Rams here in Dallas. I'd imagine they're doing the same everywhere.

I just rode past Manuel Dodge in Richardson, TX this morning, and the Ram on the Pedestal says, ($12,000 off MSRP).

So, you could land a new Crew cab Ram for around $18,000. That would be a steal- in my book. If I didn't think my wife would have a coronary event with me trading an MDX for a Ram, I'd get it myself.

Bottom line is, today- the gap between superior and inferior is minute.

While I won't say the Ram is as good as the Tundra or F-150, I think it would serve you well- and leave your pocket fluffier than an F-150 will...

Gas money...

I like the F-150 too, but a new full size, V-8 truck for $18,000.

That's worth a look in anybody's book.

 

I agree. If i was going to get a new gas truck today, dodge would it all the way.

 

If you're looking to modify the truck to make it faster, then the Dodge's don't really have much out there for them, especially in the tuning department. If you think the 5.4 was weak, hook up a trailer to the Hemi and tell me how it does. I was very disappointed in it. I thought my 4.6 did better.
