I hear the new 2010/11 Rams are just amazing, the ride is unlike any other truck and the power in the Hemi allows you to tow just about anything... That being said, the new F150 King Ranch is pretty hard to beat!

I suggest either getting a Ford F250-350, or going with a GMC Sierra!

The Fords are great, durable and with the new engine for 2010, i highly suggest it.

Aside from the Euro Industry, we at TAG Motorsports also specialize in Truck/Off Road builds...

Here is one of our old shop trucks aka "Clifford". It started life as an 08 F350, with a 14" Lift, 24" wheels on 40" Tires... Too many mods to list. Was in Ford's SEMA Booth in 07... haha

Meh, I never found them too bad. A little stiff and bumpy. I'd imagine the Denali is a better setup.

I just can't pass the diesel option. Terrific motors and transmissions.

Just never understood this approach. No offense intended.

The Raptor is a sick piece of gear... Plus you could go off-roading on the sand dunes if you get bored!

a chevy/gmc 2500 gas is a good all around truck. the brakes and everything on the truck will last years longer than a 1500.

if you need a DD to pull some truck duty, get Toyota. its smooth and civilized. but then again, noone builds trucks like american. either or, good luck
