    3.3l ford f150 vs 3.6l ram 1500, which would you rather own?

    considering a newer truck, there's a couple of f150 XLTs (a 2019 and a 2020) with the 3.3l 6spd CCSB 4x4 with around 45,000kms (27,000 miles?) also a couple of ram 1500s with the 3.6l 8spd DCLB, a 2019 with 45,000kms and some options and a base 2022 tradesman with 17,000kms all are one owner...

    Purchasing 2003 Chevy Express AWD - What repairs/maintenance/upgrades should I plan for?

    this is why my 2009 silverado is a 4.8l and a manual shift transfer case. also the 5.3l express gets a bit better MPG than the awd 4.3l astro van it replaced

    Purchasing 2003 Chevy Express AWD - What repairs/maintenance/upgrades should I plan for?

    i drive a 2004 awd cargo van at work. bought at 260k kms from a government auction a few years back for a song, it now has 360k. its needed one set of brakes, three wheel bearings. a front brake hose ruptured while driving and the mechanic said it was poorly designed (banjo tight at full lock?)...

    Family Camper/Dirt Bike Hauler – 2005 Ram 1500 Build Out

    i had an "old man tan" 2003 ram 1500 like yours (mine had the 4.7l) before my current truck and i loved it, if the body hadn't rusted away i'd still be driving it

    Your advice on a Tacoma order to turn into light expo and DD

    I had my heart set on a Canadian double cab SB sport 6MT until I looked at the back seat leg room....

    Why so few GM Builds?

    square wheel wells are great! they just mean the tires will fit the same through out the suspensions travel :rolleyes:

    2017 Ford F150 (not too crazy and not too sparse = just right)

    just an FYI, the aluminum(2015+) ecoboost F150s have a centered licence plate

    Vehicle research: RAM 1500 info sought....

    power wagons have dismal payload compared to normal 2500s... just something to think about. I think its funny, the guy asks about a 1500 ram to commute with, do some light towing/light off roading and it turns into "get a power wagon"
