Killer looking rig.
Ashamed to da max, looked at a Ram pickup today, freakin loved it.
Looked at them all before buying ram was nice but the price vs options wasn't their compared to the Ford.
Have you looked at the Tundra? Nice truck but the dated interior is what took it off the list to me.
Lots of good options out there even gm has some nice set ups wth their million and one special additions available. But the towing was shit on all the ones the local guy had
I'm a GM truck guy to the core but will not be considering one to replace my current Sierra.
What is the Ford rating?
The largest and the most powerful engine on the Ram 1500 lineup is the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine and it produces produces 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. This engine has a towing capacity ranging from 8,550 pounds (3.21 axle ratio) to 10,700 pounds (3.92 axle ratio).
11500 lbs with the 3.5L eco boost and max tow package with 3:55. My payload capacity isn't as good on this truck 1550lbs compared to over 1700 lbs on the '13 but I've got more options on this one. The Dodges, from what I saw, don't have very good payload because of the coil spring rear suspension. Some models have less than my wife's Santa Fe. [emoji15]
Edit..that's a crew cab, 4x4, short box truck. The capacities are even higher with the extended cab and max payload package.

I'm seeing similar payloads listed on the Ram charts.
Regardless, most , pretty much all of us, will never come close to max tow capacity so it really comes down to which truck floats yer boat. Ram was never on my radar until a sledding trip last winter in my brothers jammed Quad with 6.5 box. Drove it for several hours through a snow n ice storm on secondary roads heading to Mont Laurier, came away impressed how sure footed, comfortable n how much ballz out power it had. Just as impressive, drops in and out of cylinder deactivation even smoother than my GM all the while seeing ridiculously low fuel consumption in spite of the conditions and load we had on back. I'm considering a Crew 4x4 with 5.7 box.
I wouldn't rule out the GM Rick. They have made advancements as well. My 16 is a nicer truck than my 13 was in a lot of ways. At first I wasn't happy with the gears that I bought but it hasn't effected me and I tow 3 days a week min.
The interior is far nicer than the 13 was. The ride is better, road noise is better, just feals like a better truck than my old one. My dad has a 15 dodge and yes it's nicer than the 13 GM but GM has stepped up their game too.
Both GM and dodge interiors are nicer than the similarly priced Ford I have driven.
