Ford Vs Dodge Half Tons

[Taudisio]

Have you not seen the lifter failures, transmission failures, engine oil BS and electronic failures of the Chevy/GM trucks?

Negative, not in person. All 4 are between 70k-90k miles. The one I drive has had the only issue, one of the pulleys started squeaking, repaired same day with a new one. Based on everyone else’s experiences, I’d say at least one is due for a major issue. I’ll be sure to vent my frustration here if it happens.

First off, Dodge is not the answer. Those trucks are absolute garbage (brand new ones). They are sitting on several years worth of inventory across all of Ram, which is why they are releasing the 10 year 100k mile warranty. Because if they dont do something they might be in really big trouble.

Secondly, anyone telling you to avoid Ford and go Chevy or vice versa is being dishonest for one very important reason. The current brand new truck market is all junk. The Chevys are blowing engines sub 10k miles. The Fords are losing trannys. Everything and anything is going wrong with Dodge.

That being said every F150 I have driven has rode like a dream. Every Chevy I have driven I am left wondering why some people love them so much. This is just my personal experience and opinion.

If I was in a position to buy a new truck right now id bee looking at a late teens F150 with a 5.0.

After giving up on my POS 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie (RF Hub has failed twice), I am looking at the used market too. The Gen 4 Rams were great, but the gen 5's (2019-current) have a lot of problems and Stellantis has really good lawyers to help them wiggle out of class action lawsuits. I think there were a lot of manufacturing quality control issues post covid. So disappointing to spend money on a very unreliable truck with no support from the manufacturer. I am looking at a used Gen 2 Tundra, but I might look into the F150's.
