Dodge! If you can't Dodge it, Ram it!

That's like choosing between a fat girl or an ugly one.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Didn't know Chevy made trucks They don't. Not real trucks, anyway. They make a vehicle with a pickup bed that goes down the highway alright though.

Just curious, why is Ford not an option?

I've had problems with both Dodge and GM trucks. I've never yet had a problem with a Ford truck.
Then again, I've never owned one yet, either...

My Dodge truck is a 2004, 2500 4 door diesel. It has about 120,000 miles on it. Runs great, lots of power. If were to buy anther today, it would be another Dodge. I've been very happy with this truck.

Which is the better of the two, Dodge or Chevy? Ford is not an option. Need more info than that. Intended use? 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton? Diesel or gas? around town occasional lumber yard grocery getter? You want a "Cadillac" with a bed on it or just the basics? I bought a new truck 6 months ago, went with 3/4 ton Ram with cummins, 4x4 and mega cab. Part of that decision was based on my experience with my previous truck (Ram with cummins) and with my experience with the other brands that we have at my work. I also drove the other brands, spent a bunch of time in them, and preferred the Ram. But, that's just me.

Depends, the Duramax is decent as long as your not towing heavy. The GM IFS is like ridding a fat chick on waterbed loaded. Ram rides a bit rougher empty but is way better when towing/hauling heavy. On 1/2 tons, the Ram ride is way better and the 5.7/8 speed is king of the hill in power and economy. GM is better for hauling because of the leaf springs they still use from 1800's wagon builders blueprints I have a 13 ram 3500, my wife has the 15 ram 1500. Her 1500 rides like a Cadillac and is plenty quick with the 400HP 5.7 and 8 speed, while getting 16/21 MPG. If she let me drive it more, I'm sure I'd like it even better .

I just traded in a 2010 Ram dually Cummins 4wd on a Ram 1500 Eco-diesel 4wd. Had 2 3/4 Rams with Cummins, had Cummins in my Bertram and ran several others with Cummins. I LIKE Cummins. The 1500, however, rides like a nice car, will get over 30 mph on the highway, average in town, highway and towing a ling trailer is usually about 26. I can park it without needing 4 parking spaces. Miss my big dually, but really like the new truck.
