Personally I really like my 15 mirrors.

Don’t know why Ford owners make a big deal of mirrors, when their diesel still uses the Bosch 4.2 Pump.

Pour little me, I sit here driving a FORD F150 with a tiny little 2.7L twin turbo V6 with a smile on my face. Who would have guessed, after a 1993 RAM/Cummins, a 2001.5 RAM/Cummins and a 2015 RAM/Cummins spanning 27 years. And 19 years with twin Cummins in the last boat. ![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

You know that if you damage those mirrors, it will be $1,000 to $1,500 to replace (or more).
RVing since 1995.

You must be referring to someone else? It’s 2022 now, almost 2023 and I don’t recall posting anything promising for a couple years now.
Or did you mean “hoping” for, not promising?

Sofaking lame!!
So Ram just pooped out power extendable mirrors, ala mid 2000s Ford and GM features?
And some more cameras to make those mirrors have the ability to total a truck on cost to replace if both of them got damaged at the same time?
But hey at least the 4th gen chassis is going into its 11th year of production with the body style going on 14 years….might beat Frod for longest running truck model without a redesign…lol.
I’ll assume still no competitive transmission in the big C trucks, but at least Goodyear has pawned off more of those craptacular Duratracs on yet another OE offering….
(They are very durable and great traction. Live up to the name 100%. But they should be called the Duraloudresonatingtrac tires!)

If your 15 Cummins/RAM and Ford were placed side by side, cost and fuel economy were not in the equation what one would you take home?
