Just curious to know everyone's favorite diesel truck brand and why (besides the usual bias).
Switched from a 7.3 to a 6.7 cummins last year. Not crazy about having to buy a dodge but i doubt I'll buy anything without a 6 cylinder cummins in the future.JMJ Farms":2mj4qm65 said:Cummins. Hard to beat a 6 cylinder diesel. Right now they come in a Ram. If they came in a Toyota, Ford, or Chevy, then that's what I would want.
From what I've heard, that truck should last you a long time.AdamsCreek":330vrmt8 said:Switched from a 7.3 to a 6.7 cummins last year.

I hope so. It ain't def equipped and I deleted all the emissions. The transmission is all I worry about.Jdwest":344pgpnp said:From what I've heard, that truck should last you a long time.AdamsCreek":344pgpnp said:Switched from a 7.3 to a 6.7 cummins last year.

Ca2le":36a6krso said:I agree. I've seen good reviews on Cummins and Duramax too. But when it comes to truck brand, will the price matter? Durability? Maintenance costs? Choosing a truck is usually done by preference. What's important is to look at the features of the truck. Will it be going to be reliable if you'd use it as a work truck? There are also truck parts and accessories you can install in the truck to increase its functionality.
This is exactly how marketing works.. 5 ft lbs, or 0.5% difference in torque, you'll NEVER feel that.. 10 hp or 2% in power, you'll never feel that either.. far more important are how smooth these power and torque curves are.. do they fall on their face above or below it? Do they start in the winter?The Duramax cannot claim the highest torque, but it does beat the Ford by 5 hp and the Ram by 10 lb-ft of torque. How will Ram respond to this? Will Ford counter with another power boost? We will have to wait to find out.
