Getting a new truck, compare RAM EcoDiesel vs F150 Platnum??

Thanks guys....

All the talk about the Rambox storage, I forgot to mention the 2 "secret" storage compartments under the floor mats in the floor in front of the back seats. They can be used as a cooler, or just storage space. I'll have to post a pic of them tomorrow in daylight.

 

Very nice Machria! Congratulations man. I hope you really enjoy it.

One beautiful color! Hardest to keep looking clean, but definitely one of the nicest looking ones when it is clean.

I hope you saved some good money with 26,000 mile used price.

 

All this talk about the Ram Boxes reminded me of a friend of mine who has been driving Chevy Avalanches for years.

Not as big as the Ram box, but I think they have been around longer.

He has liked his Avalanches.

 

Thanks. Ram has 4 or 5 different blacks, this one is "Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat". Its a metallic type paint with a clear coat... Yep, saved a bunch of moolada which is always good!

 

Yeah, that idea has been around for a while.

1970 F-250

 

I love those old fords. I REALLY like the older 60's models like "Ohio" (?) has on here.... the red one with big tires... that thing is sweeeeeeeet.

 

I you are thinking of Kevin in Ohio. He has an old Powerwagon.

 

An older vehicle that I have always liked, but never owned one, is the older full size Ford Bronco. This guy who sells on E-Bay has had many beauties over the years. I have watched some of his Broncos come and go over the last 5-6 years. But I can not buy one because I need a truck bed. Here is one he has right now which is pretty cool. He has sold better looking ones with the 5.8 liter larger gas engine with low miles. But this one must have been stored by someone who had some money and no need to drive it!

Ford: Bronco ONLY 1,563 MILES! MUSEUM QUALITY LIKE BRAND NEW!

The word is there will be a new Bronco coming out. But probably not until 2020.

 

Ford, Jeep, Willys, Chevy, Studebaker and Power Wagon. I've had it called them all. It really is a 1941 WC 1/2 ton Military Truck (pre Power Wagon as they started in 1946) No offense taken as I like all the old iron!

 

It is very nice. What engine do you have in it? I see you are running hydroboost brakes.

 

Well, I only have 1 of those under the seats. The smaller one under the drivers side rear seat when flipped up. The other long side is filled with some Bob Marley type equipment (aka Sub woofer and amp).

YUK! I always hated with a passion those Bronco's!! They were HUGE, GAS PIGS, and impossible to get in (too high), and yet they had very little space inside them. Terrible design. When you put big tires on them and jack em up, they sure did look cool, but functionally they were useless except to get on the beech with for 4x4. All my buddies in HS had them in the late 70's and early 80's.

And there it is!

 

Currently $22,600 and reserve not met!

 

It has a RamJet in it. The Hydroboost with 4 wheel disc brakes will put you through the windshield if you don't watch it! Here is a link to all the pics but be forewarned..... You can spend a lot of time on there.

You did a top notch job on that truck

 

Not exactly the same thing, but remember when Ford had the panel in the side of the bed where the spare tire went? Camper Special IIRC

 

Those rear floorboard cooler/storage are not hidden on the Tradesman package, Ha. I don't have floor mats!
