im not saying im happy with internationl, and ford f ing up the 6.0, but ill stick with them.. they have done right by me in the past..

I own all 3, 05-06 models. All 3 of these trucks have their finer points. Even though I am a GMman, my daily driver is the Ford.

most of us, and i say most of us are brand loyal, very few of us will go back and forth to whatever truck was rated better that year.. we go through the good and the bad years with our trucks cause we think its the best, looks the best, feels the best and thats the way it is... to be honest with ya id be proud to drive any one of the big three cause they are american, period.... the only reason we are brand loyal in the first place is cause our grandfather was or our father was, so that makes us what we are... with the strides these trucks have taken in the past 10 yrs it really doesn not matter what make truck you have,they are all badass and a pleasure to drive... the only thing that i know to be true is, if you drive a chevy, you have got to be into dudes......

Much as it pains me to agree with you

I have got to salute that statement.

BTW the Duramax is built in the USA, just some design input from Isuzu

Drove past the spot where I checked out my Predator programmer on level 3. That was 2 weeks ago.

Looks like road is permanently marked as were my rear tires.

I was not holding the brakes like you see them do on Trucks etc. I did have 3 guys and a full tank of diesel though

About 120' of rubber on road. oops

There is nothing better than a FORD diesel truck.
Hands Down, Winner!!!!

I love my Ford F250 Powerstroke. It will carry a pallet of stone, 25 bags of sand, power tamper, hand tools, and tow my skid loader effortlessly. I have never owned anything but a Ford and with experiences like this I don't want too. I tow my 28 powerplay 60 miles every weekend to the bay and average approx. 16.7 miles per gallon... no complaints.
