Dodge interior...Ford exterior is slightly ahead for me. I'm just surprised at how much the Dodge is beginning to look like the Ford on the ext.

Well, I kinda like both...but my 2008 GMC is better! Of course, I must say the obvious: GM, Ford or Dodge....ANYTHING BUT A TURDRA OR TITEEEN. Those Japanese trucks suck. PERIOD.

Hate them both.

The current Gen dodge trucks look really nice on the outside, its a shame to see them move away from that.

In my opinion, after all the new body-styles come out, the only truck I like the looks of on the outside is the Tundra, the rest are ugly.

TUNDRA, You are kidding I hope.. The truck with the PIG NOSE!!!
and the current Dodge is right behind it in needing a nose job, that new nose on the Dodge is much better, as for the new Ford, If you want a truck that looks like a semi then buy a semi...Titan?? even here in Tennessee where they are built you hardly ever see one.

Ram. I've generally liked the styling of Dodge. Never really noticed any styling on F-150s. But I don't like the buck teeth on the new Silverados, especially in white. If you've seen a white one you know what I mean.

I don't know when I came up with this, but a couple years ago I had a 'what if' idea. What if . . . you could buy a steering wheel for dodges that was shaped just like their ram head logo? It would never add anything but uniqueness to the interior, thats for sure. But for some bizarre reason, I like the idea.

I can't stand Ford trucks. My stepfather's company has a fleet of them. stepfather's work truck is beyond ugly, and they always have been since he had his '89.

HOLY CRAP!!!

I used to think that Dodge had the cheesiest Faux-wood dash trim.

Ford just out-did everybody in the cheap crappy fake wood category.

That even beats Kia. Right now there are ex-Yugo factory workers thinking, "We wouldn't even put that on our cars." Even the worst ricer with full APC decals on his Hyundai Accent is thinking, "you know what, that might be too tacky."

As far as the trucks themselves? I don't like driving the Ford. It's too much like driving a Crown Vic with a big trunk with no trunk lid. It is a soul-less appliance. It doesn't drive like a truck. The Dodge drives nice but it doesn't let you forget that you are in a truck. You can feel the 4.7 throbbing through the controls even though it's probably the weakest of all the V8s availiable

Maybe
I think Ford stole the idea from Nissan. The Titan was the first I saw with that shifter arrangement.

Gotta love that misinformation.

The tundra might carry the toyota brand, but the WHOLE truck was built here, that's right, the whole damn thing.

Most of it was done in the great state of Texas I believe.
