Right out of the box the Ram is the "best truck" according to Motor Trend - that being said I wouldn't buy one and if you gave me one I'd trade it. There is a reason Ram/Dodge can't cut it in the fleet market. Every fleet managers out there read the cost of ownership information and Ram/Dodge is horrible. In 2019 they dropped their much touted V6 diesel - but brought it back again for this year. The warranty on that engine was eating them alive so with minor upgrades they brought it back because Ford and Chevy both rolled out half ton diesels this year. The 4.7 engine (not available anymore) has abysmal reliability ratings - the 5.7 is OK at best. Chevy and Ford (since 2011) have their gas engines figured out - Ram's big improvement was dropping the 3.7 (what a POS) and replacing it with the 3.6 (a good minivan engine). I was kind of surprised to learn the Ram is down to three engines 3.6, 5.7 and the 3.0 diesel in their half tons - Ford offers 3 V6 gas engines in addition to their V8 engines and diesel.
The best combination of price and reliability my company has found is the Chevy 5.3 in the LS package (below LT but ahead of WT). Personally I am looking hard at a twin turbo Ford XLT with the 2.7 if not that then the 5.0.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
