Default Tow Rig - Need your Input

Cummins, Duramax or Powerstroke? I have looked at and driven all 3 and am leaning towards the Dodge 2500 MegaCab...anyone out there have some good/bad input?

I own all 3, all new 06's. They all have their fine points.

For heavy duty hauling(over 10k) Ford first, then Dodge, then GMC

driving around for comfort GMC, Ford, Dodge

Payload in bed. Ford, Dodge, GMC

egornomics, GMC, Dodge, Ford

quality of materials on the nicest package. Ford, GMC, far behind Dodge.

Best Looking in my eyes , Dodge, Ford , GMC

Best resale, Ford, GMC, Dodge

Best motor, least amount of problems. Dodge, Ford, GMC

Best Tranny, Ford , GMC, Dodge the absolute worst.

Quietest. GMC, Dodge, Ford is way to loud.

I prefer the Ford, even though Im a GM guy, but when I need the job done, the Ford is the one I always grab. Just my .02 Jeff

I have an Excursion with a Powestroke. I have the Edge Juice and attitude computer upgrade, 5" exhaust and air box. Truck has plenty of power but it didn't tow great. I bought a Freightliner Sprt Chassis and it is absolutly incrdible. I drive it almost every day. Better turning radius then any pickup or Excursion. You can find them a few years old and not all decked out for mid 70's. I highly recommend these!! Best truck I have ever been in on my life!!

Sean,

35,000+ members here and you will have 36,000+ opinions. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the current new trucks.

Tip: If you are going to buy a new Dodge... check out www.lustinedodge.com :

Lustine exclusive PowerTrain Warranty for LIFE for original owner (restrictions apply). Lustine is up in Woodbridge not even 2 hours north.
