So as I read and and read and read some more, I am in the market to upgrade my 1500 and go to a 1 ton SRW. I am not a fan of the GM styling, plus the price tags never seem to be reasonable. I have tested the Ram's and quite like them but am still looking at the Superduty's. I am really leaning towards the Ram but the deals do not seem too great. I would be financing a large portion of either truck and the 2017 Ram's appear to only have the 0% for 4 years or move up to 3.49% for anything longer. I tried to find a 2016 but everything decent is gone. I have to check what Ford's incentives are for the 16's still. I am having a hard time justifying 3.49 as I surmise waiting a few more months that rate will come down once the 18's are announced and start rolling out. I find it hard justifying paying more interest and more sticker price on a truck that has very little difference then the 16's.
I love the Ram's still. The interior and gauge layout is great plus I am wanting the Aisin trans for a decent medium duty truck. I like the crew cab but the Megacab is the one I want. I am not a big fan on the Ford styling and interior design but the cab volume and solid chassis/drivetrain are a real plus.
Some friends of mine run the new Ram/Aisin's for their cattle business and run them hard with great success. Some other friends in the same business run the Ram/68RFE with mixed results.
I keep flip flopping on what I want to spend my hard earned money on but I figure a solid truck could last a few years of hard use. I also am interested in a full delete when the warranty is up/nearly up. Once that unit is paid for I will start looking at a decent 4Runner for old Trailblazer replacement.
Just soliciting some input from guys that run these type of trucks.
thanks
