Answer 7

Ford all the way in my eyes but dodge is hella good too. I have a 1995 F-150 w the 351 and she has 360K miles on motor and rear end, and finaly had to do the trani at 320K miles. I also had a 95 Dakota w the best motor Dodge ever did, the 5.2L...and when i sold that it had 202K miles all orginal when i bought 52k miles 2 yrs ago..but I would do ford but older though..I dont like the new ones

Answer 8

Well, you Know that the Ford F-150 have 2 kinds of engines: the 4.6L 248HP and the 5.4L 300HP Triton And the Ram has an 4.7L 235HP, the 5.9L 245HP. Well, Ford is the most strong trucks if we compare Chevy and Dodge, I will choose Ford

Answer 9

ford...dodges have bad transmissions

Answer 10

I think 440 is right.  There are good and bad in any manufacturer that you buy.  I am a mopar guy so, yes, I like the Dodge better.  Does that mean that the Dodge is the best truck, NO it doesn't.  You have to go with what you like and don't like.  Dodges have the Hemi motors with the MDS which shuts off 4 cylinders under 40 mph, but Fords have some higher performance engines.  Which do you like better?  It is all Very subjective and you have to decide what you want the vehicle to do for you. Good Luck.

Answer 11

Well, well, well.  I see we have some Ford people in here.  Let me be the 1st DODGE man to arrive!  To those who say Dodge is junk, slow, bad transmissions, etc, etc, all these statements are false.  There is junk in EVERY car manufacturer.  Do you actually think that if every Dodge truck has a bad transmission, that they would sell ANY or keep making them?  I think not.  The people that bad mouth one or the other are mindless people that grew up with their dad or papaw that loved a certain one.  They just grew into liking one.  If they grew up with Datsun, that's what they would drive.  Use your own judgement; listening to people mouth a certain make or model usually doesn't have the correct facts.

Answer 12

well looks like we have a bunch of mindless people in here. for starters people forget that the ram did not come with a 5.9l after like 2000 so you had the option of the 3.7L, 4.7L, 5.7L hemi and then there is the srt 10 dodge ram FASTEST PRODUCTION TRUCK with the 8.1L viper motor. My point is this i am a dodge tech i love there trucks for more then the performance its looks (h**l ford tried to copy them for a few years) interior looks. I have worked on Chevy's dodge and ford  they all have problems like the triton engine problems with the spark plugs and no part is cheep when buying from the dealer. All in all it comes down to personal preference and what it will be used for

Answer 13

I have owned 3 Dodge Rams and loved them all.  There are a lot more accessories and modifcations you can do to a dodge to make it stand out.  I personnally have never had any mechanical problems with them putting over 100k miles on 2 (I am currently on my 3rd).

Answer 14

Ford because they know how to build a truck right. Parts are cheaper too because they are so much more mass produced.
