Car and Driver magazine Dodge Ram vs. Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado comparison is over and 2009 Dodge Ram is the hands-down winner.

Dodge Ram vs. Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado
"Dodge added “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” swagger to its Ram act in 1994 and has been amplifying it ever since, including the Ram’s makeover for 2009.

...

There are other design touches that scored big. Although it was upstaged by Ford’s King Ranch treatment, the Ram’s leather-lined Laramie interior is almost as handsome and almost as roomy, rivaling the F-150 in terms of dashboard design, general comfort, and fancy stitchery. The double-decked glove box is the only useful glove box in the group, almost every small storage nook in the cab has a rubber liner to damp out rattles, the dashboard sports a 115-volt outlet, and though the rear cabin still has a driveline tunnel down the middle, it also has a pair of fairly deep under-floor storage wells and two storage bins under the seat.

...

The other big deal here lies beneath the cargo bed. Although the Ram retains a traditional live axle, it has forsaken traditional leaf springs for a coil-spring setup. This has produced two effects: one positive, the other not. Positive: Ride quality is distinctly superior to the Ram’s rivals, particularly in the dirt. Negative: The coil-spring rear suspension limits towing capacity to 8700 pounds max. Which do you think our scoring prioritized, comfort or towing? Right, comfort.

Though the Dodge was only 40 pounds lighter than the F-150, it was quicker than either of its rivals, as you’d expect with a 390-hp Hemi under the hood and a 3.55:1 rear end. The downside of this, of course, was the worst fuel economy, 14 mpg. Even so, the thrust of that engine and the sounds that go with it are hard to resist. Add that to a solid platform and innovative design, and you have a winner. Our Pat Bedard went so far as to call it a “breakthrough truck.” He didn’t get much argument."

Yes, the 2009 Dodge Ram is a "breakthrough truck."
