Im at the same age with 80,000 on my DMax! :eek: Haven't had a prob with it yet. My last 5 vehicles were Chevys. Next time I buy a new one though, I won't go straight to Service Chevrolet. I am gonna check out the F250s and Cummins as well.

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.

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

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.

My 5.4 triton gets 12-13 in town taking it easy & 17-18 hwy at 65-75 depending on which way the wind's blowing.
I guess it gets about 15 hwy pulling a 3,000 lb boat. But i still have 275's on it.

LaAngler 05-12-2011 09:04 AM

never thought about that, mine's not leveled

Like I said, too many buttons in trucks now. I'd kill myself in a car wreck trying to find the button to change the radio station or turn the a/c on.

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":p

Had the f250, dad loved it, minus the mpg. Switched to a 2010 tacoma, and hates it.. So guess who gets it? THIS GUY... Dad's going and getting the new f150, or a Jeep.. Says he hates the smallness of the Tacoma..Rathers his f250..

BIGJ 05-12-2011 04:05 PM

Duramax is the best motor on the market right now, but not the interior. "Cummin Stroke This"
