I bought a new truck and I think that has been a trend for a number of years.

When I was looking to buy a new truck in 2006 I did the same thing Brian Jensen
did. I went to all the local mechanics and asked them which trucks came in for
repair the most. They all said Fords came in more than the others. I bought a
new Dodge, 3/4 ton

My husband is a Dodge guy. He is a motor head - can listen to an engine and
tell you what is wrong with it. He likes the Dodges and finally persuaded me
to trade up to a diesel dually 4wd 350 with a crew cab and a flatbed and
gussied up inside. He loves the Cummin

I am a Ford person also and finally graduated to an F250 diesel but my husband
is a Dodge guy who routinely out pulls/out everything my Ford. So I agree with
your sentiments. Hope you are doing well

I really like my Ford F-250 diesel. I bought a new one in 2008, because
in 2007 they changed the diesel fuel so that it's ultra-low sulfur and I
heard that this was ruining a lot of the older engines, so i bought a
newer truck designed to handle the new fuel. I

Someone mentioned they loved their truck with the Cummins Diesel. At the time
I was shopping for my 2007 truck (fall of 2006), I was told there had been
problems with the Cummins diesels and that they were no longer the great
engines they once were.

I'm going to chime in on the trucks since I have experience on the other side
- with the trailers. One thing that hasn't been mentioned and is vital, is
gear ratio on the truck. Most - but not all - will come with the 3.73

Stick with Ford or Dodge. I have had both and have been happy with both. I
currently have an GMC. I have hated it from the first week. Its interior is
very poorly designed. You can't get to the area behind the seat without
sliding the seat completely forward.
