    My FX4 5.0 rocks! That being said I did like the Bighorn Dodge 4x4. It was super nice and a lot cheaper then the comparable Ford. I drove one for about a hour one day and I did tell the salesman it felt kind of sluggish. He said it was because I drove the 4x4. My FX feels mucho fast and I drove plenty of Eco Boosts. Love the Eco but not really sure about the longevity of the whole turbo setup. 10 years down the road we will see how they are fairing. Love that they are going that way but still not 100 percent sold on them yet. I plan on keeping this one for a while so I didn't want to chance it.

      but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy shit!!!.. what a ride!"

        F150 has better interior, more room in the backseat, and stronger transmission.

            Had a guy on a site say that the advertised 28mpg is legit in those. of course, it's still a dodge.

              I like my 2012 f150 enough I traded it in for a 2014 4x4. Decent mileage out of both of them. About 17.5 city and 21-22 hwy.

                I have a 2014 QC Ram w/hemi and I love it. Still getting used to not having a shifter and using the knob to put it in gear but i like it. Touch screen radio is nice too, powerfull and good on gas.

                    The Ram Ecodiesel has more torque, tows more, and gets better gas mileage.

                        What's your favorite color balloon? Doesn't matter because 2/3 of this board will argue that you're wrong.

                          Try again. The guy in the black shirt explaining the Ecoboost engine is Ford's Consumer Marketing Manager. It's a Ford truck commercial designed to entice people like you to buy their product with misinformation. They all do that.

                          Also, to further point how ridiculous that video is. Notice at how on their timer @ 2:51 the Ram was just just behind the Ford's trailer. Yet, when the Ford crossed the finish line at 2:54 (3 seconds later) the Ram was suddenly 46 seconds behind it? LMAO

                            I'm one of the guys CWO mentioned. I can't see myself owning a different truck. I'm extremely happy with the interior in my 2012 F150 Crew. The back seat and foot room is the largest of any of the half ton trucks on the market. That was a big selling point for me. Not the mention the Ecoboost seemed to perform much better than the other trucks I drove (5.0 included). Still gets 17.2mpg which is the best gas mileage of any truck I've owned.
