I'm a ford guy, one of the guys we usually go with has a 2014 mega cab and I can honestly say I get a little jealous looking at his truck. It is gorgeous, good luck.

I'm a Ford guy also. That new Dodge is a very nice truck and reliability rarings are right up there. I only wish trade in values were there. I got roasted on my last Dodge trade in, took a pretty good beating. I trade every three years and do much better with the Ford.

Welcome to the Dodge Ram Cummins family! You are going to love that truck and the pulling power that comes with it. The exhaust brake feature is great too. I've gone down some pretty windy and steep grades and never had to use the the brakes. Just put it in tow haul mode with the engine brake on and let the transmission and engine drag do the rest, it is amazing..I got a chuckle out of the above post asking how it compares to your previous Tundra truck. It won't! They are like night and day. I'm sure the Tundra had some pull but your new Ram will have some pull and a lot more. It will not quit. You will see better mileage also. I live in Idaho, it took a trip to California pulling our 33ft trailer to really brake in the engine. I had about 25k on the odometer at the time. We climbed some pretty steep grades and the engine was run hard. Ever since we got back my mileage has been better then before. After you get that thing broken in don't be afraid to work it hard when pulling, these things are like dogs riding in the back of a truck, they love it! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine...
