Hey guys. Finally pulled the trigger and traded in my 05 Tundra for a spanky new 16 Ram Limited Ecodiesel. I'll the same thing I told my buddies, "yeah the Ford guy that drives a Toyota bought a Dodge." I say that cause I grew up Ford, owned a couple rangers out of high school till I needed a half ton crew. In 05, the Tundra was just the best value and resale, I didn't plan on keeping it 11 years but when the CAD rose a while back, there went my reason to trade up. Then houses and boats got in the way, which is good, cause I wouldn't be on here otherwise. Anyway, not up for debate on what the best truck is now, I drove em all and in my eyes, Ram wins this round. Plus I've had my heart set on a 1/2 ton diesel for years, and I could wait for the Ford to come out because my Tundra was going to start costing me coin which would have cut into my trade in profit. Mileage was big factor so the Titan was ruled out, plus no auto 4wd. I'm told the Ecodiesel will easily pull my boat, my cousin said his tows his Malibu with ease. I have an Epic 23V. I'm looking for verification on the towing, cause mine has been stored for a couple months now. I'm also looking for tips on additives and maintenance from some real owners. I'm a bit of a newbie to diesels. I'm in sask where we see -40C and I got a floor heated garage. I'm also fairly mechanical, I can do basic oil and filter changes like nobodies business. Sorry for the long intro! Thx
