Which one? Ram Hemi or Ford 5.0

Okay. So the story. I’m a pharmacist, and you can damn near only get out of work by dying. If the wife thinks she has car trouble, she won’t quit until my 78 year old Dad drives 85 miles to check on her.

I was looking for a pickup in the $25k or less range (still buying a JL, but can’t swing it right now).

I drove the Ram tonight. It has a shit ton of power, it looks good, it’s comfortable, and will probably get better gas mileage than the Ford. It’s 2 years newer, and has almost 30k less miles. The Ram is sitting in my driveway, right now. The beater Camry is still around, so now I have 3 vehicles. Problem solved.

Thanks for the feedback.

Congrats. You'll love it and if you ever want to tow they do damn good as well. Have never had an issue pulling with mine.

Congrats on the new purchase. The hemi is a fun motor. It's always fun to romp on it. Had a high school kid think he was bad ass in his V6 mustang. It didn't hold a candle to our Durango..haha.

Nice color!

I’d say 395 bhp & 410 lb.ft. torque ought to. Since it’s 4x4, and has 3.21 gears, it’s rated for just over 8,000 lbs. I’m sure you already knew it.

I was thinking it had the same hp as the Grand Cherokee, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm late to the discussion, but was going to recommend the Ram.

Seems like a moot point now, but it looks like you did well.

Nice looking truck.
