Fair enough..I just didn't buy, and still have not, into the hype surrounding the new F150, especially when it has not improved over the outgoing model in any really quantitative way beyond weight.

Yes the fuel economy improved a bit, but not enough to justify the hype, IMO.

Fair enough as well

And I know it probably came of as bashing the Ram, that's not the case. I don't think you can go wrong choosing any truck from the big 3. Just when I see those acceleration numbers, especially the ones with the trailer attached, those to me say "hey this truck and engine can handle this no problem, this isn't a struggle at all." Even tho the MT staff said the ram diesel didn't feel bothered by the trailer, the numbers tell me it was.(in my mind)
