Anyways I test drove a bunch of trucks over the last few weeks and settled on a '26 Chevy. I told the salesman no 4 cylinders (turbo max engine) no black trucks. Has to be 4wd, crew cab, V8 only. Tested out a Ford and Chevy. There's not really a Ram dealer I like locally but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Best truck I've owned hands down was my '16 Ram 1500 with the 3.0L Diesel. Really loved that truck.
The Chevy was way more truck, for less money than the F150, plus I like the ride/interior a lot better. V8 felt stronger than the 5.0 in the Ford.
