ford or the dodge

[meathauler]

First off Dodge resale is horrible. I have a Ford f250 4x4, chevy 2500 4x4 and a work truck that is a dodge 4 dr. The ford get 16, Chevy 16 and the mdodge around 12 which is a half ton. you Prolly wont have trouble with any of them and mileage is really not great on any of them. Horsepower is created by fuel!!! Just nobody wants a 5 yr old dodge. Just my imput. That ford is a fine azz truck though.

Chevy was a lemon. I dated the warranty clerk for Chevrolet, she saved me a bundle.
But I traded it in after 3 years when the warranty ended.
Bought the Ford 7.3L diesel and had it for 12 years so far.
Never kept any truck more than 3 or 4 years, except for this one.
I did have an F-350 with a 460 CI gas engine back in the mid 80's. Good truck,
pulled good, terrible mileage.

Hold on to that truck! 7.3 IS the best diesel ever built. My uncle is a hotshot driver and has over 500,000 miles on his with no mayjor problems.

id be willing to bet that gas mileage is not an issue for this baller

yep r.bros, i bought my last f150 there they are good people, especially if they put up with my whellin and delin arse!! i think i wanna go with the ford but i think im gonna get one w/o the whells and ties / lift from ford i feel like they are breakin it off in me for those extras , id rather pick out which lift kit i want and wheels ect... from like kirks or somewhere they told me i could do that and roll it into the note that way i get what i want . but the other side of me is thinking logically and sayin just get a stripped down one and dont do anything to it because realistily i dont need them big tires cept for maybe a handfull of times a year on the jobsite to pull work trailers out the mud ect . idk nicer truck ='s have to wait a little longer than 6mos. to buy a new boat . for now i just need to track down my title for the totaled one because when i paid it off they sent it to my old house and i just said screw it ...untill now when i need it . plus my ex wife hated lifted trucks so that makes me want it even more

I have always wondered why people buy trucks with rims? When u mess with the bull you get the horns. Have had two dodge trucks with no prob.

[LPfishnTIM]

I agree. Not much for big wheels on low pros. They look great on ats or mud tires.
