[QUOTE="jdg, post: 1485537, member: 13350"] I have owned the Ford 3.5 Ltr, 5.0 Ltr., and now have a Dodge 1500 3.0 turbodiesel. The ford 3.5 was quick and sporty, and had good low engine grunt. It got okay gas mileage poking around (15mpg), great gas mileage traveling unloaded at 55-60 mph (19-20mpg), and god-awful if pulling any weight. (7-10mpg). The 5.0 were mostly bullet proof, got better gas mileage pulling things, and were a good bit cheaper. The 3.0 is the first Dodge i've ever owned. Better fuel economy than any of the fords doing everything listed above. As much as 25mpg on road. I've only got 45k on it so far, so jury is still out on longevity. I actually like my Dodge better than the Fords. I got the Ram boxes (toolboxes built into rear panel sides) and the Outdoorsman edition. I wish everyone made toolboxes built into the sides of their bodies, everything is extremely accessible. Haven't owned a chevy yet, my local dealership just carries Ram and Ford. If your set on Ford, I would buy the 5.0. Or if you have $70k laying around, get the 6.7 turbodiesel 2500. Everybody i know loves those, but durn they're expensive. [/QUOTE]
