I want a truck that runs a Cummin 4bt diesel. Why can't we get a small diesel truck in the US? Oops , forgot ..no politics
Only the Cummins will go the distance. Cat in the big Fords may still be an option.

I've been a Duramax fan for quite some time and currently own one so of course of going to be a little biased. But honestly it all depends on what your looking for....Are you planning on buying one off the lot or used? If your wanting one off the lot honestly of the "big three" diesels, any one of them are going to be nice trucks no doubt about it, if used some years are better than others depending on the model.
I'd rather pay American workers and have the profit go overseas than pay Mexican workers and have the company getting bailed out with more of my money.Quote:

I'm looking new....2012 stills on the lots....
I have a 2006 Nissan Titan with 44,000 miles that I'm willing to sell for the right price. It's an AMAZING truck.
Selling for the 6.4L FORD.
After careful consideration and going back and forth, I can't get over the fact that the 5.9L is wrapped around a nickel and dime you to death dodge.
FORD all the way, the F150 with ecoboost is a monster. Hope they release the raptor wit an ecoboost option.
I'm avoiding "made in 'Mercia" cause everything is made in Mexico or china. Don't matter where it is "assembled".
Passed a lot of TRUCKS on the road in my x5 tonight. I had no issues, trucks were spinning their wheels.Quote:

Dodge: best engine, junk tranny and axle
Chevy/GMC: Good engine, best tranny, good axle
Ford: a lot of people like them
Couldn't agree more!Quote:

My step brother builds Ford trucks, with cummins motors, and Allison trannys and has a waiting list of people lined up to have them done. That way you get the best of all 3.

chev, close but can't get all the bells and whistles. Pretty basic.
Ford and dodge I can get a 1 ton for the cost of a 3/4 from chev
sooooo.........
should I buy a 1 ton and be done or........
unless you haul a 5th wheel I would stay with the 2500 it rides smoother and will be cheaper on insurance, check pricing with dave smith and see if your dealer will price match them if they are cheaper, mine did after I calld their bluff and told them I would go up there to get one instead and I saved an extra $3,000Quote:

I would have to go with this as well, what are your needs with this truck? If a 2500 will meet them i would just go with that, it will be cheaper.Quote:
