[QUOTE="swoop1156, post: 25847, member: 580"] My buddy just bought a 2011 Ram Sport 1500 with the 5.7. Crew Cab, Leather/Cloth sport seats, the uConnect system (which is ********), Navigation/DVD, Rear Camera and 20" wheels. So, as of now he has about 5,200 miles on it. He has had to warranty replace one wheel, one wheel bearing/hub, a BENT track bar and then one of the tires blew out and the dealership gave him a BSW tire when all the other three are OWL. I've driven it a few times and here are my thoughts: It's quick. I think it would run with the Raptor; us being heavier and more weight on the end of the axles to turn, but I think we'd be even. The rear view camera is not located in the center and you think the 2011 F-Series camera has bad resolution?! Use the Ram! Then, the GPS is Garmin based and looks like a cartoon. In order to use a CD, you have to have the motorized screen turn off, flip down, load up the CD and then fold it back up. It's just a pain. While I am talking about the Navigation, I love the fact that on the Ford, you can hit the home button and see the Nav, radio and climate controls all on one screen. In the Ram, you have Nav only, or the other crap. The interior to me feels chincy, not well refined but I do like the buttons on the back-side of the steering wheel to change radio stations and volume. All in all, he said that if he could have afforded a Raptor he would have gotten a Ford, but he couldn't so he got the Ram. [/QUOTE]
