i own a dodge ram 1500 slt sport..20 inch rims..yes the truck is not great on gas..but none of the full size trucks are...i hit a deer last week with my truck and i have a rental truck ..its a sierra..the sierra is alot newer then my truck and drives nice..it burns the same amount of gas and one thing i know it does not have the horsepower of my ram..its a bit sluggish compared to my ram...plus i think that the ram looks way better then the sierra...the sierra still looks square like the trucks my dad drove in the 80s...also go new for the same price..this way you can break the truck in properly...i have never driven a ford, but i have driven many gm's...and this is the first dodge i have ever owned and i can tell you one thing..my ram has 220 000 kms and all i,ve had to replace was the belt, the brakes and the tires..so far so good....the gm's i've had always gave me problems.....and last but not least..all these trucks will be crap if you drive the crap out of them..if you take proper care of them... then you will get a great truck in return... hope this helped
