First post...in the market for a new truck and a now a member on this forum, the Cummins forum, and the ecoboost forum.
Any real world experience with both trucks? I've been looking into upgrading out of my f150. Not because I need more payload, more just because I'm board with my current truck and want something new. I only tow a few times a year and never more than 8-9k, so a 6.7 ram isn't anything that I'd want to spend the extra $8k on. I know the mpg difference is considerable, 15 mpg vs 20 mpg, so that's a notch toward the xd. Looking at Ike gauntlet towing.....xd took 10k in 8:45, 2500 pw with 6.4 takes 9k in 8 flat....both trucks seem to handle it well, so I'd call that about even. Then there is price to consider.....both packages I like on each truck msrp for around $55000, but with advertised incintives the ram is realistically a $45k truck....ram wins in that factor. BUT, the xd has the cool factor being brand new(not in every other driveway on my street) and having the cummins.
For the xd owners, are the dealers willing to deal any yet on these truck?
