I know there is no comparison, but I'm trying to get my lil buddy (he drives a dodge) to come out the closet.
I keep telling him its ok to come out the closet and let everyone know he would love to drive a FORD. If i knew how to create a poll on here I would although we already know what the results would be....right, lil buddy??

Ford F250 Diesel 4X4, best truck I have ever owned. I have had a Dodge Hemi, Chevy Z71, Nissan Titan, etc….

Nothing wrong with the other trucks, with today's Technology they all have improved but I will buy another F250 when this one is ready to be replaced.

specktator · #10 05-10-2011, 01:08 PM

I have a Z71 Duramax and love it. Only thing I hate is the tiny fuel tank. (25 gallons) I used to hate Fords b/c they were so plain on the interior but now they are sweet. Just too rich for my blood. A macked out F250 will run you $65-70k.

One of my buddies just got a brand new crew cab 4x4 Tundra. I drove it the other day and that thing is sweet. I just gotta have my 3/4 ton for pulling goosenecks, big trailers, and my boat.

F150 is the only 1/2 ton i'd buy right now

As MossLake has mentioned this is a thread on diesel trucks.

If you do not own or have owned a diesel truck then............

Moss I own a D-Max/auto/4X4. For me I like my truck. Are there things about my truck I would like to change, you bet. Hey, there is no perfect in every aspect of truck made.
It boils down to your preference in brand. Every brand will have issues of some magnitude during ownership. You will talk and hear from the different brand owners about their truck issues. All things regarding ownership of diesel trucks are different. Every owner drives and maintains their trucks differently, therefore, the brand of truck issues will vary. In the end it is your money purchase the brand of diesel truck you would like.

I already drive an '08 F250 4x4 crewcab 6.4L diesel king ranch. Just tryin to convince my lil buddy(closet FORD fan) to get out of his dodge diesel and step UP to the FORD. But, with the 6.4L he will have to step DOWN on the fuel mileage!! Worst mileage diesel out there, but IMO the best looking and riding out there. Can't worry bout mileage when its only $4.00/gal right??

Just can't drive it much. I only avg about 11-12 mi/gal in town(lot of short distance stop and go). The 2011 should get you way more than that.
I do alot of window tinting on the side and I will say this---- Im getting alot more new Dodge trucks in the shop than ever before. Price must be right or something. They have finally changed the looks of the Dodge for the better. My lil closet buddy wants to trade rides for a week (of course he does, he drives a dodge). Just can't see myself in that dodge(or can't be seen in it). Anyway, I think I've got him thinking FORD for his next truck.

My 06 dodge oil burner would get 20hwy and bout 17town and that was fig off several tanks with pen and paper not the puter, i put 35" tires and still got close to 17hwy. i have an uncl with an 2003 king ranch oil burner and he has spent more on the motor tthen he paid for the truck

I don't think you will hear alot of good things about the 6.0L Fords. Have heard lots of head gasket and other stories on those engines. Haven't had any of those issues with my 6.4L yet (other than fuel mileage) and I think the 2011 engines have come a long way with the mileage issue.
