I have tried out the ford, chevy, and dodge and really don't have too much of a gripe about any of them. Its all in what you want the truck to do. My dads company just bought three new duramax trucks and i tell you what that thing will run. i pulled a 550 john deere dozer on my gooseneck with it and it didn't even grunt. The only problem was stopping :biggrin: All the guys i know with a dodge cummins have no problems either unless they have an automatic tranny and my buddy has ford with a 6.0 in it and it seems to be pretty strong so i guess its whatever your preference is. You might talk to jeff from f.a.s.t. on here and he could give you some insight on some of the different models and the pros and cons of each one. I tell you though that duramax sure will smoke the tires :biggrin: Good luck with your decision!
