Default Suggestions on Full size trucks

Looking at trading in the slomaro in the next 2 weeks after I get back from vacation.

Been looking at the Dodge Ram 1500's

Anyone have experience with the new Rams? Reliability?

The GMC / Chevys are way too much (and I am avoiding GM like the plague)

The fords are decent, just not sure if I like them any more than the dodge. Not to mention Brandon Dodge is giving me a better deal on my trade in / purchase.

Right now I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500, 4 Door(of course) regular bed truck. Never had any problems with it, tows easily, easy to get in and out of, interior and dash lay out is nice and has enough pep in it to keep me happy. You won't be dissapointed.

Seriously....you should look at the Nissan Titan. At least test drive/compare it.

Cool, I was looking at a standard cab with the base 8, but I am considering either a quad with that engine, or a hemi standard cab...

The hemi is quite a bit more, but I am guessing it would help with resale.

I have no experience with the hemi model dodge ram or the Nissan Titan so I can't really compare things btwn the three. I think the hemi would help with the resale value and I'm sure it's alot more fun then the standard 8 that I have but that's just what I decided to go with at the time.
