 I know some may feel this is off topic and slightly foolish but please lend a hand.
Myself and Josey Wales both just recently purchased new Trucks.

All in fun we threw digs at each other at who's vehicle was better.
So we agreed to let it be decided by a vote.
Dodge Ram 5.7 Hemi engine.
Ford F150 5.0 engine.

Aside from that except for some minor "extras" they're very similar.

So, if you were to buy one which would it be.
Again this is all in fun so so please don't get bent out of shape for posting this.

Dodge is on the right. Ford is on the left.

Used to be that Ford's doors would fall off, GMC's would lose their paint, and nothing else was worth considering...  Out of the two I'd go with Ford.

Respect the fact that Ford didn't beg/borrow/steal any FRN's from the American tax slaves due to mismanagement.

Get a 1968 or older pickup with distributor points and condenser, NO electronic distributor......

Isolate the battery, by keeping the battery cables disconnected until you need to use it.

What's American made?  I suspect all of the above mentioned have made in China or Mexico stamped through out them. Made in America--- your only kidding yourself. L.O.L. ~ Two Wolves

BTW-- I voted for the Ram.  I liked the styling.
A moral compass provides a basis for making decisions; an action is good or bad, right or wrong when viewed in the light of the individual's moral bearing. If no moral compass exists for the individual, then decisions and actions are made on the basis of purely subjective thoughts. This leads to "If it makes me happy, or makes me feel good, or if it's something I simply want to do, then it is right and good."

12 years old, 126k, full target line, spares bag, steel, line supplies and shoot box always in the back. No payment book.

After the last two years I can park it at any range in Indiana, and folks will migrate towards it with everything but a rifle in their hands. They figure there is an Appleseed close by.

Perfect truck.

Well, VietVet and Josey, you both know how LittleMo and I vote.  Our Appleseed mobile carries promotional material, shooting mats, ammo, etc at all times.  You ever look at the back seat and bed??  LoL  Hook on the 32' Motel Appleseed and go. 

Gary and I, being a bit over the top when it comes to thoroughness, special ordered our golden....yes K-Dan, golden Ford last year and never looked back.  Truck fully Appleseed loaded, hooked up to the trailer, head up 7% grades up to Burlington Flats, unhooked the trailer and headed up the steep muddy grade to the 400yd target line at Burlington Flats.  Yup, other vehicles made the same trip, but they hadn't just hauled a 10K pound rig!!
