Love these discussions since it seems that most of us have some brand loyalty and that's how we talk. I've had Fords, cars and trucks all my life with only a couple slips. I know what they can do. My current truck is a virtually trouble free 125,000 mile early 2011 Job 1 (May 2010 build) Why should I change when the last was a 100% trouble free 2006 100K F350 V10 and way back with a few F150s between was a 1976 and a 1979 F350 with 460s - both of which are still running as field trucks.


What all this boils down to is that you end up with the truck brand you are loyal to or else bought from a dealer that gives you the best deal if loyalty is of no concern. All three brands are completely capable. The horsepower and capacity hype are nothing more then that. All it means is that the lower rated trucks will 'beat out' the higher one after a software tweak and maybe a minor spring rate change along with a 'B' pillar sticker - and how mine went from 390Hp to 400 and torque from 735 to 800.


But let's keep the thread going as there is usually some good info
