BTW Motor Trend says Ram will unveil their long-awaited half ton diesel for 2013. They hope to get out ahead of Ford and GM in this market segment. They didn't say what motor but last I saw there were two motors under testing; a 4.2 V6 and a 5.6 V8, both built by Cummins.
They also say Jeep will bring out a truck for 2013. It's been a long time since Jeep had a truck in its lineup.

Thanks for all the info, I went and looked at both of them, man people just don't take care of there vehicles, both were covered in dents and scratches. The way I feel is if its ugly on the outside its ugly on the inside.

Ya you know and I know that those idiots will say anything to make themselves sound 'in the know'. I take 99% of what they say as total BS.

You can buy the Ram which has the best engine or buy the Ford which you will have to put the Cummins in it eventually anyways. I owned a 2006 Ram dually for 50,000 miles and never had an issue with the truck.
I myself would rather replace a few truck parts than a whole engine but that's your call. Plus you can pump the Cummins up to 800hp and daily drive it. Try that with a Powerstroke, not gonna happen.
And BTW that's the last year for the 5.9. Your resale value will only go up from now.

I've seen a FL P2 with the MB 450/1650 motor towing a 40' Skater and it had the Allison 3200 trans, didn't even feel the boat...
