I have 3 Dodges and 3 Fords, I like the way my Fords handle and over the last 30 years all of the Red Fords that i have owned run and won't give up. The Dodge Cummins run great but the trucks are miserable to drive. I have spent a lot of money on them to keep them in top condition and they just don't handle like the Fords. I started buying Dodges because used ones are cheep and i am trying to grow the buisness without spending a fortune. ------------- The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend? |

This should make you Ford guys happy. I pulled a set of 5th wheel rails out of an 05 F250 because the previous owner wanted them back. There were no frame ties, just 1 inch thick back up washers on the under side of the sheetmetal. Either Ford made a really tough box, or the prev owner never hooked much to it.
I agree Ford builds a sturdy truck, but I like GM's styling much better. The Ford Sync/My Touch system is pretty slick. 6.7 diesel? So far so good. My experience is they must be reliable like a Duramax. Have not seen any real failures yet. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

I am a hardcore Mopar man. My primary truck is my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel. I also play around with my old 1991 W150. Hopefully by this time next year I will be looking for or have got a nice first gen Cummins dually 4x4 with a manual transmission.
Until then I have to get a new transmission and torque converter for my white Dodge. I am getting the Goerend brand transmission with the Goerend triple disc torque converter and a lower stall speed.

Well, I've always had a soft spot for Diamond-REO, Euclid, the Kaiser-Jeeps, Marmons, and Autocars... I wouldn't turn down a Brockway, a KB-series IH, or Studebaker heavy-duty. A Van-Pelt pumper truck chassis with ramps to carry a couple'a WC's would be really fun. But I guess if I had to choose out a 'regular use', I'd go for a Dodge M37 with a 6BT Cummins and an NVG4500, fitted with Rockwell 2-1/2t axles... a steer and two driven, all fitted with singles and disk brakes... a dump-bed with removable sides and a 5th wheel hitch... and a hydraulic winch up front... |

I prefer a Ford F150. I have owned several of them. I like them all though. I could drive a Chevy or a Dodge too. I just perfer a Ford. I now have 1992 F150 4X4 and I love it! It has 150,000 and the box above the rear wheels is rusting...trying to decide what to do about that!? I love my front wing side windows the old pickups had! I used to drive 2 wheel drive pickups back in the 70-80's but since having a 4X4 I do not know I could go back to a 2 WD. I get 17 mpg with my 4x4 now, in the summer driving mostly on highways..My pick up sees a big difference in mpg in running regular gas over ethanol gas! So much so I only buy non ethanol gas now...lots cheaper in the long run.

The only Ford I've ever owned, a 96 F-250 Powerstroke, I spent more money fixing it than I had on the previous 4 GM trucks combined! Give me a GM truck any day, even tho' they did take a bail out. P.S., It was tax payer funded bail out not a government funded bail out. And not that I'm defending the man, but Obama didn't bail out GM and Chrysler, it was G. W. Bush and the democratic controlled Congress!

Definitely Gm, The ones Ive been around just hold up better especially the interior, seems like most ford from the early to mid 90s Ive been in I had to roll own the window to get out cause the inside handle was broke off, and couldn't lock the doors on a couple from the early 2000s cause power locks were screwed up. I do think they are making a better truck now than then but so is GM. Also GM seem to be better balanced with weight cause Ive seen on many wet boat ramps a ford spin out but the GM walk on up it, not really a power issue just a weight and traction issue.

| Just like the editor of Diesel power mag said. If you want a hotrod get a Dodge. If you want a workhorse get a Ford. If you want a truck to go to town and go shopping get a Chevy. I would not even test drive the foreign brands. It's bad enough that GM uses an Isuzu diesel shipped here for us to do the machining and put it together. The best part of a Dodge truck(engine) is not Dodge. And a Ford dually cost more than I paid for my house and barns even when it's a few years old. |

Dad owns a '05 2500 Dodge with the Cummins. He paid for the truck. He pays the fuel bill. He paid for the gooseneck flatbed deckover. He paid for the tractors. I guess I'd have to say DODGE. Yeah... I'm spoiled just a little bit, but dang does he work the crap out of me to make up for it!
PS. I don't have a problem with this being in this forum. Childish remarks and whiners is why it has taken me so long to come back to this forum. And since the age issue was thrown out there at some point, I'm 35. Grow up people! I feel like I'm back in kindergarden. ------------- Just when I thought I was finishing my "honey-do-list", she turned the page!!! |

A guy working for me has a '05 Ford 250 P-stroke that is starting to
get rust bubbling under the paint on the box in many spots. The tailgate
is also getting some rust on it and he had to put rust stop on the
rocker panels last year. My chev is a year older and has no rust. I
think thats a good reason to stay with Chevy. As to you guys that talk
about power I'd put my Duramaxx up against any Found On Road Dead or
Dogde!

| Iv'e drove them all and have had good luck with them all, but I do prefer Ford. Bought my 99 for $2500 and found it to be the best money ever spent. It was just what I wanted no bells and whistles, no AC and came with a 5 speed behind the 5.4. Just love it. |

I have been a Chevrolet/GM man all my life thanks to my Dad. Growing up on the farm in NY he had a 1969 C10 2WD as long as I could remember. I have no idea how many miles he put on it but remember him talking about the 4 engines he went through(started with 2-6 cyl before swapping to 327 V8s. It had a HD 4 spd manual. The frame was welded/reinforced many times due to NY winters until it couldn't be done anymore. In winter, he would put wheel chains on and a 1000 lb cement block in the bed. That old truck would go many places no 4WD could when it had to. Hauled anything he needed to year round for our 105 cow dairy farm and his tractor hobby. I learned to drive with that truck doing farm errands before I had a license. By the time I got a license in 1988, Dad had replaced it with 2 trucks. A 1972 C10 with 3 spd on the column as a go to town for parts/supplies truck and a 1978 GMC K35 High Sierra 4WD dually with stake racks for the heavy stuff. That old GMC is history now too but I would put it up there against ANYTHING made today by ANYBODY. They couldn't touch what I've seen that truck do in its prime. If I had the funds, I would love to have a new Chevy Duramax/Allison dually with trailer to haul the ACs around because I believe them to be very stout and good looking trucks as well. Alas, for now, my daily commuter is my 1996 S10 4cyl/5 spd 2wd plain jane I bought brand new and has faithfully served me all these years. So, if you'll excuse me I need to go do her 189,000 mile service so she is ready for Monday AM to start yet another week. ------------- "My name is Lionel and I'm an Allisoholic" |
