FORD vs dodge

[shellman]

I would go Ford for diesel and Tundra for gas ....

[flounder_smacker]

every truck i owned has been a chevy. i put a lot of mileage on my vehicle's "56k last year" and next year when i buy a truck its going to be a f150 with the ecobost. friend just got one in the fx4 and its a beast. 23 on the hwy and a real good ride. the older chevys used to be bullet proof but this new model has given nothing but problems. mostly the 4wd system and a bunch of electronic crap. plus obama is in gm now so im making the switch and want to stay american.

in my opion the cummin engine's are proven. i have had 2 power strokes 6.0 (junk) injectors stayed fried and my work truck which is a 7.3 its a tank best motor ever made. but the new ones are just too new with me yet to trust.


now gas i have always been a dodge man my hemi will pull what ever i hook to it and runs like a scalded ape. i also have put 75000 miles in less than 2 years and i get 20 mpg in a 4x4. gm don't even compare. if i got something else it would be a ford gas burner don't have a gripe bought them except for the price.

Guys I have an 07 Dodge with 280000 miles on it. I am in the hotshot business and I am not easy on my truck often pulling more than it was designed to pull and it has held up extremely well. Hell my 40 ft mf weighs in at 8,800 pounds empty.

whunter29, what part of your post do they just not understand? I'll admitt the the inside/cab amenities are kinda generic in my '06 Dodge, but that's not where 'the rubber meets the road'...Did I mention I get 25MPG? I know the fuel milage was cut back some on the newer engines.

Change the headbolts in a 6.0 and your good to go.....

Or save yourself the trouble and get the Cummins......I've got 120k on my gas Dodge with no probe. Gas sucks tho!!

Dad has the Cummins and get WAY better milage than I do and can pull anything......he's never had ANY issues with his truck

Next purchase will be a Cummins

comes down to if you want a truck that will work hard or look pretty and ride nice. My 06 Ram oil burner was pretty nice but it was a work horse, Chevy rides good but still dont trust them and Ford has lots of room and the KR is finnest lookin out there. If i had to buy a new big truck and they would let me order what i wanted it would be a Ford King Ranch with a Cummins engin and Alison trans and it would be a done deal best rig on the road

it may be pretty, and it is, but get you a RAM if you want to haul somthin or better yet drop a cummins in that King Ranch. I always say " Rather be Cummin then then Stroken"

i had heard some rumors that you had to add something extra when you refuel on the new ones (ford). like a cleaner or something is there any truth to this. if so is it expensive

yea, the 2011 6.7L uses some sort of exhaust cleaner called urea. There is an extra small tank cap next to the diesel fuel cap.Cost about $12 for 2.5 gal. i think. Doesn't use that much I dont think.

Thx...Just wish it got better fuel mileage. 8.5-10 mpg pulling RV doesn't get you real far on a 26 gallon tank. May look into some exhaust and tuner add-ons.
