That is the same way I was introduced to the Ram when our Lincoln MKX was parked for months due to the air bag issue and Ford Lincoln rented us a vehicle for the entire time we waited on a replacement air bag. I was impressed Ford Lincoln rented us the vehicles as we traded for a different one every few weeks to test drive various vehicles.
We did buy a Ram 2500 4wd a few months after driving the rental.
I was very impressed with the Ram and the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Not so much for the Toyota or the Jeep Compass we drove. The one Nissan was ok but not loaded out with all the bells and whistles. The Toyota was by far the worst with the electronic power steering and it wandered all over the road on the highway driving and it only had a few thousand miles on it.

Thumbs up Re: If you are considering a new pick up

Great opinions here and yes all the big 3 make very impressive trucks. Power units are all up to snuff. I guess it comes down to looks and comfort for the individual. I have found the GM a little easier to work on over the Ford and Dodge. I cant let someone work on my stuff when its out of warranty so this is a big deal for me.

Already chipped in on fondness for my 2006 2500 with 5.9 Cummins but perhaps this might help someone. I rented a 2019 Ford F250 FX4 6.2 gas for the 5,000 mile round trip to pick up my race car using my open Featherlight trailer. Was actually impressed, averaged 13.5 mpg, plenty of power and comfortably cruised at 70 mph. Four years ago I rented the Nissan Titan with the big V8 in order to go pick up a motorcycle in LA (a very gracious shop tour of Jeff’s shop by Kevin Helms was a big bonus). Would never consider that, auto trans always hunting for lower gear and much poorer ride than the Ford.

Just a FYI...
