I love my new Ram. The Ford is a great truck, but my decision came down to having a good local dealer that was cool with me deleting the Cummins. The emissions systems on all of the new diesels are insane!

I was in the same boat a month ago picking between the Ford, Chevy and Dodge. After driving all of them I went with the Ford F250 Lariat Crew Cab overall because of the cabin size and how it drove. I drive it everyday in Atlanta traffic about 78miles round trip and average 16-18mpg hand calculated with no load. With my 11,000lb toyhauler driving mostly highway at 70-75mph I am getting 12-13mpg thought I'd get more but with 5,000miles on the odometer it seems to be getting better each trip.

Is that a lift or leveling kit?  Tire size?

I have never heard of a dealer doing deletes.  Super illegal here in Cali but well worth it.  Curious as to why you would want a truck with urea.  2013s will have 850 ft lbs though.

Trust me, you don't want urea. It's a pain in the ass to get in some places! I had a rented GMC up north that my employees couldn't find urea for. The truck went into limp mode to 7mph! Once mine goes off warranty I'm kicking that crap to the curb.

And even though I own GMCs, I was driving a new 6.7l Ford around. God dam are those nice trucks. The ride quality was stunning for how heavy duty the truck is! Next truck for keep is going to be a Ford.

up here some guys still claim their dealers will do it... well im not the cummins cop but everyone says no to me... the reason why i will wait for urea is that the fords and chevy's guys are getting much better mileage... so i just figured that since i can't delete and keep my warrenty urea is something I should wait for
