How about it guys? How do they compare? - New body style dmax and 6.7 with the 68rfe.

Luke S probably has since he is a dealer for both.

Drove the 6.7 about a week ago, and the new D-Max yesterday.

The interior on the D-Max is much better than the Ram

The exhaust brake on the 6.7 is reallllllllllly cool, and a nice touch.

The D-Max gets up and runs like the old ones, and the 6.7 with the 6-speed auto is quick.

The ram steering is better than the D-Max, but was better than the Chevy before, and the Ram looks better.

Its really hard to choose, both run great. Both will spin the tires from a stop without power braking, and both haul the mail fast.

Interior Comfort=Chevy
Ride=Chevy
Trans=Dodge
Exhaust Brake=Dodge
Engine=Toss Up

I saw a 6.7/6sp Auto, 4x4 Mega Cab Laramie with Nav and the Video system yesterday.......$57,000 OUCH!!!!

and as for the Ford 6.4L.......its missing the Fire Extinguisher Option

I had pretty much the same opinion as Smkn600, although driving them back to back I'd give the edge in the engine department to the Cummins. I've driven 3 LMM Dmax's as of yesterday now too.

In my opinion:

Styling=Dodge
Interior Comfort=Chevy
Ride=Chevy
Trans=Dodge
Exhaust Brake and Foot Brakes=Dodge
Engine=Dodge by a hair

PRICE=Dodge by a mile
