Traded 07.5' Chevy 3500 DRW D/A LTZ in for sig. truck.. The interior in this truck is awesome. I also like the looks of the truck on the outside, but each person has their own personal taste. Though the Ram can't touch the Ford or Chevy for HP, TQ or weight ratings. At a GVWR of 12,200#, GCWR of 24,500# and 350HP with 650 ftlb of TQ, it handles sig. 5er quite nicely. The EB is awesome and with the IBC and T/H with 6 speed auto, It's done an awesome job of towing my 5er...and it's loaded with every option you can get on this truck.
I'm at a campground now and have gotten quite a bit of looks and people asking me about the truck,...I really like this truck, inside AND out..........
The 2010 and 2011 Trucks, like mine are identical....no changes that I've seen or read about.

I agree this is by far the best interior of the bunch. Of course I'm not biased.  Though I knew I was already buying an out of date powertrain when compared to the others I still am 100% happy with the purchase and would do it over in a heartbeat.

I think the Dodge interior is pretty sweet. 10 months sitting in one everyday and I still enjoy it. It is very nice, for sure.

I've not looked at a 2011 Ford, but I have looked at the new Ram trucks. I must agree that the interior is top notch in the new Rams. I'm sure the new Fords are nice as well, they have been for some time.

I wasn't a Ram fan until I drove one. This new Laramie interior is everything my F-150 Lariat was and more. The seats are wider and waaaay more comfy. Plenty of room in the back seat on my crew cab and loads of storage everywhere you look. I just can't stay out of the driver's seat....

The new Dodge is very nice inside but I still like my Ford King Ranch better. It seems like all three brands have stepped it up a notch.

I do like the new interiors on the Rams, but the back seat doesn't have the room the GM and Ford trucks do. I can't imagine anything but a small child being comfortable in the center section of the Ram rear seat. I'm not sure why the seat is shaped like it is, but it does need to be updated for more comfort for older children and adults.

Are you sure you're referring to the '10+ model years?
