Wow, no love for the new Dodges? I have no experience with them, but I thought they had improved them for the new design with the 6.7 liter.
I drive a '11 Chevy half ton, not a diesel and surprisingly not one issue with it, and I'm touching 71k miles. I have been pretty impressed. I like the Ford diesels, but someday when I can own my own pickup and not a company pickup, I may get another Chevy, but diesel. I have kind of grown to like it a lot and it takes all kinds of abuse. I beat the shit out of it when I have to go out in the field with it (gas lease roads/sites, etc).
I work in the Oil and Gas industry and there are 3 main trucks I see around from companies, F250s/2500 Cummins/Chevy 2500s. I have noticed that a lot of companies are converting to Dodge. I used to see just Chevy and Ford, but now I have seen more Dodges popping up, and have heard from 2 major companies that they are switching fleets to Dodge Diesels.
My only gripe I have noticed about the Ford 3/4 tons is that when weight is put in the beds of them they sag REAL bad. We have 3/4 ton Chevy's in our delivery fleet and you can load them up a lot and they don't hardly sag at all. Ford must have weaker suspension in the rear or something. I don't know.Comment

He's looking at $5k trucks. Not new body Dodges. Which are still junk after hopping out of a Ford

This truck is what i want, down to the color and interior.
Anything different on the sierras? They are just differently badged silverados right?Comment

If you want the truck then get the truck. Bottom line is all Manufactures have their flaws. So go with what you like.
Now on a real note... I hate those fucking exhaust tips, the wood grain and its DEFINITELY not a head turner

With my budget, a head turner is out of the question. Tips do suck, wood grain, I am indifferent. I sent the guy and email during the game ...Originally posted by aCid View PostIf you want the truck then get the truck. Bottom line is all Manufactures have their flaws. So go with what you like.

If you can spring for a little bit more cost in fuel,I would look for a 4 door 2500hd.
The 2500hd 6.0 truck prices are usually pretty good.
The xcab can be a bit annoying at the grocery store.
Your buggy ends up behind the xcab door and there is a car on either side of you.
Same situation when you have the kids with you as well.
I typically park further away but kids and wife get aggravated having to walk further.
Good luckComment

They "improved" with the new 6.7 for dodge like they "improved" with the 6.0 over the old 7.3 powerstroke.Originally posted by Trip McNeely View Post
