2011 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 vs 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4?

[Lucas O]

Both seem unchanged from the 2010 year

The GMC is a extended cab with a 6ft bed has the 5.3 liter V8 and the only special features are Blue tooth & climate control which We would probably never use the blue tooth

The Dodge is like a 4 door but the back doors are very small & the bed seems shorter then the GMC but maybe it's just me & has the same feat. as the GMC but with the HEMI

Could you tell me which truck is better or are they pretty much the same ?
I'm leaning towards the Ram cus the HEMI is packing 70 more horsepower but can you really notice the difference

But my dad is pro GM so it will be tough to get him to buy a Ram

We are going to test drive them but he's been working a lot lately

Price is like a 250 dollars difference
Since Im not lookin for a diesel I will have to consider the Tundra

Take Note that the HEMI is built in Mexico and i have heard crazy things like my friend at work's Charger with a HEMI. He's on his second engine in 4 months. Guess his car was built on a Friday.

As for power wise, it more of a tuning issues on how you like your engine to perform. Good luck with your pick of trucks, there both great trucks but i lean towards the GM Line of trucks since i fit in it more better then the Dodge that seems to be built for larger people.

I drive a GM daily. it runs great, no magor problems yet at 140xxx miles. Im not a dodge fan at all. I always find myself helping friends fix their dodge's. I dont know much about the Tundra but from what ive heard its a good truck and i would probably go with it before a dodge (and i drive american vehicles only). Hemi = 16 spark plugs witch = twice as much for a tune up and the potential for double the problems. With all that being said I highly recommend GMC but if you went to a dodge forum you would hear the exact opposite. Test drive them and take your time with your decision. Good luck...... p.s. if the hemi style engine is so great then why does only 1 automobile manufacture use it??? sounds kinda like mazda and thier rotary style engine (that they only use in 1 model of their product line)
