Dodge is now RAM.
Thanks T. Someone at HQ was asleep.
Unfortunately, a Shovit-or-leave-it-lay. First GM product I have ever owned since 1966 and the last i will ever own.
My GMC Topkick would not really be classified as a pickup – but was able to tow 17,000 lb. 5er.
Been driving GMC pickups for work and last 5 years pulling our camper. Always got at least 150 thousand miles out of each truck with no major drivetrain repairs, just normal oil changes, brakes, tires. Never been stranded or broke down. Love my GM. Friends with Ford and Dodge complain about all their trucks all the time. That helps keeping me in the GM family.
I’ve heard more complaints on Ford and Chevy. Especially the recalls and rattles.
Wouldn’t be caught without a Cummins…
My F250 diesel has impressed me to the extent Ford has earned my loyalty.
Chevrolet 3500 dually diesel. It is fantastic, however the reason I ended up with it was that while I was considering both Ford and Ram, this is the first that met all my criteria.
All of the big three are great, but truck owners have a tendency to be quite partisan.
All long as you are happy, all is great!
Prior to RVing, I always had Toyotas and Hondas. When I went fulltiming with my fifth wheel I got a Ford 350. What a beast! Love it. I’ve been to dealerships all over the country. I got an after-market warranty which I’ve gotten my money from.
Current price of diesel is a killer, though ($6.33/gallon)
I vote Dodge but there is no Dodge mine is a Ram just after the drop of Dodge.
We pull our 23’ TT with our 2018 Nissan Frontier, we bought that because of it simplicity. Basically the truck was designed in 2003 for the 2005 model year and Nissan simply made improvements to it over the years, it isn’t a “rolling computer” like most trucks on the road. It has a strong 4.0L V6 and 5spd automatic, which handles our 5487 lb trailer with ease. The only dislikes are the fuel economy and poor turning radius.
I drive a Ford. Unable to get the poll to open
2016 Ram 3500 dually diesel
We lease a 2021 Ford 150. The truck shortage is so bad that Ford is wanting to buy out our lease. When we either do the buy out or hang on until the lease expires we will buy a 3/4 ton truck, either a Ford or a Ram.
No match for my 2001 F250 with the 7.3 turbo diesel.
2008 Ford F450 pulling my 25′ Lance travel trailer. A bit of over kill but the truck was previously carrying my heavy Lance slide out camper. The truck never knew it was there and now has zero issues with the travel trailer.
I previously towed with a Silverado 1500 crew cab, short box and loved it except for porpoising on some concrete roads. Bought a F150 hybrid supercrew with 6’ box. Haven’t towed with it yet. Don’t like it. Too much electronics, hard to figure out because of terrible owners manual and lack of info on internet. Also not getting the 24 MPG yet. Powerboost engine seems more powerful than Silverados small V8. If you have a diesel, fill up before coming thru Pa. Some interstate truck stops are up to $6.66 gal.
My old motorhome has a 1976 Ford drive train and is still going strong. I use my 1977 F250 to pull my boat which I sometimes camp overnight on.
Have a 09 Ram Love it. Had an 06 Ford, bad experience. Both diesel powered.
Three Ram 2500 CTDs and one Ram 3500 CTD over 24 years of towing. About 500,000 miles.
I use a 02 Ford F-350 7.3 diesel 148K on it and wouldn’t trade it for anything, looks good , drives great (425 HP) descent fm pulling 32f travel trailer grossing out @ 18K+
I have a 2019 Nissan Titan XD with a with a Cummins Turbo diesel It works perfectly with my 30′ 5th wheel
I have a 1995 Chev Silverado 454 with 118k miles to tow my 18′ travel trailer and a 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 dually with 65k miles to haul my SnowRiver 8’6″ camper. Just bought Dodge and camper this year.
Dodge is gas, not diesel. Took a while to find it.
Custom ordered Ram 2500. Didn’t want the diesel. Didn’t need heated seats and all the other nonsense. Just need it to pull my trailer. Could not be any happier. Got the color I wanted and price point at $52k. Gas 6.2hemi that will pull 17500
2005 Dodge 1500 4×4. Rumble Bee
2002 F250 7.3 Diesel 4×4 with 260,000 miles, going strong and looking good.
2021 F150 PowerBoost with the 7.2kw electric generator. 6000 miles. 2021 Overland Explorer Camp X slide in pop up camper. Truck has tons of power and can easily run an AC unit for days.
Ford F350 diesel with AutoAgent custom tune adds 200hp. Pulling 19k 43′ 5th wheel. It’s a beast.
2017 GMC Sierra SLT 1500 with max towing package taking it up to 11,700 lbs towing capacity. To me, the perfect truck for every day use but with plenty of power, with the 6.2L, to pull my 8,000 lb trailer.
I have a tundra 2012 , v6 4.0 l and pull my 4500 pounds travel trailer without problems. Now upgraded to a tundra 5.7 l for a bigger rig .
Dodge hasn’t made trucks for 10 years, Stellantis (formerly Chrysler) builds Ram Trucks now.
Got that right.
2018 Ford F-150 XLT. We selected the Ford because of the 34 (30-something anyway) gallon fuel tank. It really helps when you are driving in states like Nebraska!
Not surprisingly I am in the majority. Ford all the way. Strong and dependable truck. Ten years with same truck and very minimal issues. F 250 Powerstroke
2001 F350 7.3 Quad cab Dually
8 ft bed, pulling 42 ft Sandpiper.
Humm’s right along, don’t even know you’re towing!
We have a 2017 Ford F 350 DRW King Ranch, 6.7 Diesel. Previous truck was 1999 F350 SRW 7.3 Diesel with 308,000 miles when sold to sister- in- law 5 years ago. They tow a 5th wheel also. We stand by Ford trucks!
I guess someone needs to tell you that Dodge has not made a pickup since the year 2010. Ram became its own division at that time. They are called Ram Now.
I would think that a “reasonable person” would be able to assume that Dodge/Ram would be in the same category. I wouldn’t think that the survey is meant to be THAT technical.
Technical? 13 years is a long time to not call it a Ram
Definitely In the minority here, 2018 Nissan Frontier 4L V6 pulling our 5487# TT, I’m 900# under rating, it has no problem maintaining highway speed but I drive 62mph, no sway, no handling problems. 9.3 mpg but big enough for the job at hand… and it didn’t cost $60,000 to $85,000.
