The most comfortable half-ton and the most fragile diesel here; discontinued after 2023.
Check before you buy
The EcoDiesel had recurring emissions-system and engine-bearing failures, and Ram discontinued it after 2023 — parts and dealer familiarity both thin out from here.

- Ford F-150 Lightning: Towing anything heavy cuts range roughly in half. Plan every trip deliberately.
- Ram 1500: The best-riding, nicest-inside full-size truck, with the weakest reliability record.
- Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Lower trims have a notably cheap interior for the money.
- Ford F-150: Enormous capability in a vehicle that does not fit in most garages or city spots.
