mowin Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I've had 2 Ram 3500 SEW CC. 6.4 hemi. Love the trucks. But if I bought a third, it just wouldn't "feel" like a new truck. I needed a change. My choices were obviously, Chevy or ford. The 6.0 Chevy is underpowered. The new 6.6 GM gasser has some impressive numbers, better then the 6.4 hemi, but it's a new platform, just released, and I'm very hesitant to buy a unproven platform. So, that left ford.... F350 SRW SCLB. 6.2. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Why didn't you consider a Toyota Tundra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 6.2 is a good motor, we run many at work, zero issues so far. Enjoy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a serious question, because it can't come close to towing and payload as the 3500-350's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I see. Didn't know you needed that much. I like the Tundra, but the Tacoma with a 4 cyl and 4x4 is enough for me. I'm too old to work that hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I tow equipment around frequently. As soon as we retire in about 5 yrs, everything will be sold, and moving south to Tennessee. Then I can get a smaller truck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skillet Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Awesome truck! Good job choosing Ford over GM (Government Motors). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention they build something like 42% of Silverico's in MEXICO That is a solid choice, the 6.2 is one of the best motors out there, you should get many years of good service. The 250's have been super solid for a long time, congrats! Edited July 22, 2019 by CapDistPatriot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigVal Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Nice the new Ford HD look great, I miss my Cummins more than any truck I've owned though . I hear great things about the 6.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
