[QUOTE="7998, post: 16565002, member: 70541"] My dad just traded his '16 F150 KR in for a 2021 Ram Longhorn. It has everything but the 4 way tailgate and the 33 gal tank. I took it for a long drive recently and drove it back to back with the '19 Platinum. Here's my honest opinion. The Ram is a nicer truck, but not by much. In fact if I were buying again it would come down to the deal. The Ram has a nicer interior no doubt. The materials, textures, appearance all make you feel like you're in a luxury truck. The switches are aluminum and have a nice movement when operated, the shifter feels like it made from a piece of billet. The wood looks like actual wood. The surrounds look like piano wood though I know it's plastic. Not that I'm slumming it in the Platinum. But the surrounds are painted plastic that is obviously painted plastic. The switches are the same black plastic I had in my XLT, and the black wood that is sparingly placed around the cabin is unrecognizable as any species of wood I'm familiar. In fact if Ford had omitted it I doubt 99% of the people would notice. The Ram's ride is a little nicer on the as well, But not by much. It is a truck after all and will remind you of that when you start hitting bigger bumps. But where the Ram really shines is on the smaller bumps, there you notice the rear coils and air suspension paying off. I came back and looked at both trucks side by side and thought the Ram was a nice truck but not nice enough to make me want to trade, nor did I feel like I was driving a lesser truck. If you like the Ram, get it. Everyone I know who has one and has switched from Ford or GM loves it, and none of them have had any majors problems. [/QUOTE]
