Why should I also consider these? X

While the Dodge Ram 1500 has been relegated to a distant third place in the pickup truck sales race for years, in the heavy-duty segment, the 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models compete nearly neck and neck with the Ford Super Duty and Chevy/GMC HD pickups. An all-new Ford Super Duty was introduced for the 2008 model year, and it is a heck of a truck, complete with a revised Power Stroke diesel.

That engine isn't a true "clean" diesel yet, but will be soon.

There's no mistaking the Super Duty's style, which is as distinctive as it is imposing.

Features like the optional in-tailgate step ladder are also innovative. The Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD twins also received a major revamp in 2007.

Like the Super Duty, these HD models look beefier than the half-ton Silverado and Sierra models.

Both V-8 engines (one gasoline and one diesel) are matched to six-speed automatics.
