[QUOTE="Pine Creek Ranch, post: 534274, member: 6012"] Thats a loaded question, and you will get lots of different answers, depending on the brand of truck each person prefers. We were looking at pickups last year for our ranch, needed two of them and I really didn't care which brand, so long as it was a good truck. I actually like all three, Ford, Dodge, and GM. We were shopping for the toughest truck we could get, best transmission, most horsepower, most torque, most comfortable to drive, and the best, longest warranty. That truck was the GM. We drove all three brands, and liked them all, but Ford and Dodge didn't have near the warranty, near the transmissions, or near the power. Thats not to say that this year one of them hasn't outdone the other one, seems like they are always trying to do that, but as of 2007, those were the facts. Also, EVERY brand has its lemons. And I mean every brand. But they ALL build good trucks too. So don't judge a brand by someone else saying, "I had a friend that had one of those and had nothing but trouble with it". Go drive the truck and if you like it and feel good about it, regardless of the brand, buy it. Ford, Dodge, and GM are all putting out some pretty sweet pickups now. So, back to what I was saying, we bought 2 of the Chevy Duramax's, have had one of them hooked to the trailers most of its life, its the hard working one of the two, and it has about 20,000 hard miles on it so far without one single issue. The other one has about 25,000 miles on it and they are mostly highway miles, and its on its third set of transmission lines. All under warranty, of course, but not fun to deal with. Maybe it was a Friday afternoon truck. Those trucks are sure nice to drive. They are identical, and I thought about getting one GM and one Ford or Dodge, to kind of compare, but instead went with two identical trucks for ease of service. I am glad I went with GM, even though the one truck has had the transmission line problem, they have taken care of it each time, and if it starts leaking again they will just buy the truck back so I can get another one. I would buy a Duramax again definitely. [/QUOTE]
