I had  a couple of those LUV trucks. I've never visited down under, but I'm betting you don't see snow/salt on the roads there. The first one I had was an 81 and it ran like a new one but was totally rusted. I found a 79 4X4 that smoked. I pulled the 81 engine, put rings, rods, mains, and a valve job in it. Stuck it in the 79 and put 250K miles on it. Sold it to a friend and he still drives it. Looks like the only difference I see from the U.S. version is the RH drive. The step side box was few and far between here.

Now I am just an old country boy, but it looks like some of you immature young fellas need to respect the reason for this forum and to have enough respect for its intent to stop posting stuff that is designed to start a ruckus...

Amen Boogerowen!!!  Lets keep this forum friendly and keep the antimated antics to yourself.

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.

Freightliner and Dodge, with and without Cummins power

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.

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!

Theres the dancing mouse!! My evening wouldnt be complete.

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.
