Thanks CAT...The F250 looks better with the shorter bed....and actually I like the looks of our GMC best...but my favorite for looks only, (dont get overly excited you Dodge lover) is the Power Wagon on the other thread..but it needs a diesel.. My F350 is going to paint in a few weeks when I get a chance with some changes in colors...I don't know why I strayed...but it will be another blue theme..

Mike, I have both an 11 Ford and GMC, but not the denali like yours. The Ford comparing interiors on the 11 models is far nicer..both 55k respectively..The Ford feels less plastic, the dash material has a softer feel more like a german car, the wood looks less plastic, and the seats are also nicer, and bolstering is more comfortable. I think you just have a CANDY AZZ
The Ford is also quieter, even with the upgraded 400/800 power which raised noise slightly. The GMC is still quicker 90% of the time. On our 11's, we have 50+K on the F250, it was one of the first ones that came out, and my F350 has 14k, and my GMC 2500 has about the same.. All these new 11's are way better than their previous generations, especially fuel economy.

I still think the seats in my truck are more comfortable and softer. I would bet that it is quieter also than a F350. Kinda pisses me off when I get into my Escalade because it is louder than the GMC pulling a 40' toyhauler and drive it just a fast.
There are things I liked about Ford, Roomier for sure, I liked the dash layout a little better, although it seemed just as plastic to me. I LOVED the turning radius, really miss that. But not sure that is still an option. While I really liked the looks of my 08, I hate the 11's. The grill is butt ugly, and the fender flares look like they took them off of a dodge megacab. Which looks like an after thought to me. Congrats to dodge for upgrading that.
I think someone could be happy with any of them, they are all very much improved over previous yrs. Just pick the one that suits you.

I just like being pampered.

2011 Models, Dodge,Ford and Chevrolet/GMC.
Has anyone compared transmission gear ratios, between the three ?
Then Urea, @ $50.00/5,000 miles, thats $0.10/mile, for what ? Add $10,000.00/100,000 miles to the $5,000.00 price difference between Dodge and the other two and they better do better than run up the hill, they better jump over it !!

My bad, should have said $500.00/5000 miles, that makes them have to jump two hills.
On a serious note, I understand UREA is 60 % water and 40 %, other chemical. Subject to 60 % water, does the micro know if the liquid is straight water ? What harm could straight distilled water do ?
