Might check the Ram version....Though nice to hear the Ford breaks the mold...

I understand, that if you check, the cabs are same size, if not the same stamping on the half tons and 3 quarter tons from the big three. Well, if they still have a "supercab". That's why the "modern" half tons seem so big, they are! Further, when digging up the specs, if configured the same...

Cool, cool. Be sure to grab some pics as you're working through it.

This seems like the exact package I'd have put togeather. Looking forward to hearing how you like it. When do you expect to receive the components? Self install?

How many miles? Thats high from what I've recently found unless it really low miles, like under 30K or so. Id suggest keep shopping.

Pricing's up - a 3K option hereabouts.... '18 F150 3.0

Just checked the Ram site and found the following in answer to my above thoughts. Head, hip, leg and shoulder room are the same between the 1500 and 2500. The overall body width is interestingly .3 in narrower on the 2500 and it is .2 in taller. Wheel base varies depending on configuration...

I'm currently driving a Ram1500 as a rental. Needed to pick up a college student. It's an 18 Laramie with the 5.7. About 3K miles. The 5.7 moves quite well, 17-18 is about all you can expect, the crew cab is large and comfortable. It's a quiet truck, though I'd guess most of them are these...

Lots to be said for relative simplicity and longevity.

Great looking rig! Since it's well on the way to being broken in, mind if I ask about mileage with the Coyote?

Honestly, for a soon to be college student, get a truck. Real 4 wheel drive, a bed to camp out of, a shell for bad weather a bed tent otherwise, upper teens in mileage, not fragile, able to haul all your stuff (bikes, microwaves, dorm fridges, etc) as you move about the next 4 years...

My understanding as well. Corrected. No additional information I've found to date.

Its almost been two years.......from cheap seats where we watch with awe, the fab skills of some of you, wondering if we could ever even develop a hundredth of your talents, its looking pretty good to me. Though I have not commented I have been following with great interest the last couple of...

Been researching the transfer case issue my self recently. What I have found is the Rebel, Tradesman, and surprisingly the Express are all 44-45's in the 1500 line. Some good deals to be had these days....

Max payload is with the 3.5 ecoboost. Gets towing up to 12,200 and includes the 36 gal tank with some other stuff for around $1,200.
