In the last decade Ford stepped it up in 3-4 key areas.
Looks
HP (they use to be all torque and less HP due to the longer stroke of thier engines, which was great for pulling, but not for DD driving.)
ergonomics
overall interior comfort
Found a way to combine classic Ford ride with fair pay load
Ford has always had a better suspension for driving, but older ones were a bit road crazy when loaded and especially when over loaded.
15-20 years ago I have ben quoted as saying, if you combined a ford suspension on a dodge frame and a chevy drive line and chevy body, then you'd have the ultimate truck, best of all worlds and what each brought to the table.
Ford has pretty much done that, taken design quese from each and then managed to improve them more in the last 10 years.
