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!!

I love my 6.0 Ford. The brake controller is the bomb.
Love the GMC new motor and tranny.
