[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 594443, member: 2862"] When I owned a diesel performance shop, I owned several diesels of every make/model and drove hundreds more. As has been mentioned, they each have their pros and cons, but this is how I see it: Dodge - Best power, bar none. Ford and and Chevy owners can get all brand loyal, but when you hook to a heavy load, the I6 will output the V8s every single time. Best handling when the ride gets rough. The Dodge solid axle is rock solid. Seats are the world's worst. Ticked me off that they'd stuff $5 seats in a $50,000 truck. Chevy - Best ride quality, until the ride gets rough, then the soft suspension tends to make it more difficult to control the vehicle at speed. Duramax is a decent diesel, second only to the Cummins. Ford - I've always like the look of the Ford, but in my mind it never did anything "best in class". Interior may be nicer than the rest. Won't touch either of the new Powerstrokes. The 7.3 was a decent diesel. If I were buying a new diesel, the Ford would be well down at the bottom of the list. Rod [/QUOTE]
