Ford, Dodge, Chevy....GO!!

[RCCrawler]

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.

The best advise I can give without being completely biased is to test drive each one and see what YOU like. Like I said any of the newer models of the big 3 diesels are going to be good trucks, just depends on what your looking for really, each have their differences.

100% agree.

Just sick of the politics lately so I thought I get a good knuckle discussion going!!!

Agreed, I'ts a nice change of discussion. Plus diesels are one of my hobbies so it's perfect.

2012 Dodge doesn't take DEF, that a plus for it.

they are all so good anymore that it is hard to start an argument over which one is better. I needed interior space so that is why I went with the ram, and the heaviest trailer I tow is well under what any of them can handle so that did not even come into play in my decision.

and if you buy a h&s programmer before the current stock sells out it wont have dpf either( not to mention a 4-6 mpg gain). but they got busted by the epa and their programmers are selling out quick.

So here's the gig....

ford right now is 10k off list for 2012

Dodge is 9k off list.

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 $3,000

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.

Will do!

I'm also planning on biz growth! So if it things keep going I may be planning on a bigger trailer.

Pulling a 30ft enclosed (deck length) tag right now. High ceilings. She is 5200lbs.

30 ft don't get much for cars in her. (street/hot rods)
