How about discussing TODAY's new rigs that money can be plunked down on. 3/4t offerings. For fun, let's throw in the anticipated 2016 "improvements"....
It looks to me like the big three have all "Upped their game" a lot in real recent time.
So, ancient history does not matter here. Yes, all three have had major stumbles in the past. Documentable.
Let's not rehah an issue if it has been corrected and left behind.
Ford's new in house engine has been out long enough to get some solid/real feedback on it (I hope).
Ram's been working on a pickup worthy of their drive train. How'd they do?
Recent info. Please.
BTW- I thoroughly enjoy most of these threads, and am impressed by the wench wizards on this site!
Thanks, in advance, for KNOWLEDGABLE input. Let's not devolve into "my daddy can beat up your daddy" stuff.
(Yes, I'm interested in new. I'd love to have the skill set to hunt down an old gem and build it up to better'n new.
I'm retired, and unless they come up with a downloadable brain app, my skill set won't be expanding much :-( .
I been 4 wheeling since I was a sprout, but that was all work (firewood, fence posts, etc) and/or pursuit of food. Accessable logging roads went everywhere in the mountains (Colville area), this was before the govment stepped in because of the access abuse, when 4wheeling became "sport".... :-( [the few ruin it for all...again]
Back then we worked the (then) old rigs hard, and if you maintained them, they served you admirably. No "kits", and not much modding except with the welder to modify to do another farm/ranch chore.
I left that life behind, but I still enjoy the "wild" that we do still have access to, and, in retirement, I want to sort out a good set up for that.)
