Re: 08' GM dually
Check out the 08 Ford F-450. Takes all the worry out of being legal . I drove GM for years but jumped the fence 2 years ago . Very happy with the towing ability .

Re: 08' GM dually
The linked article says 2.5inch receiver with 13k lbs rating; 16.7k for a fifth wheel.
Is the GMC as ugly as the Chevy? I'm a die-hard GM guy, but come on, that's just fugly.
Thanks,
Michael

Check out 1 Bagger's link. Very impressive, especially the video's of the turning radius, styling cues and so on. Do a comparision between the two. Check out the interior, tire size, how low of rpms torque peaks at (2,000RPMs) same on hp. Just so you know I was strictly GM till the sales manager pissed me off, he said what you going to buy, you wont buy a Ford, you always put them down. I went over that minute and bought a dually on the lot in 03, and have been swayed ever since. Good luck, you cant go wrong with either. jeff

Thats also what I read. I have had GMs since 90, but switched in 03 to ford, and varry my fleet half and half. Both have their plus and minus. Fords truely does a better job for working and pulling. The GM will be smoother just driving around, but as soon as you put 300-500 pounds in the bed or pulling 3k or more thats where the Fords start to shine. The wheels just plain suck on the GM's. The interiors are 10% nicer on the GMs, but I feel that has changed for 07. The Duramax I prefer, it is presently quieter and torquier at lower rpms, but have had less problems with the Ford Torqe Shift tranny and rear end. Take your pick, both good, but I have a F450 on order. Jeff

Don't know if your aware, but Ford is taking orders on their new 2008 6.4 sequential turbo diesel (new motor). The truck is totally redone in and out (I ordered one), should be here late January-February of 2007. then again, I'm sure you did your home work before ordering, both are great trucks.....
