I have to agree with Jeff and Nort. Interiors make a big difference to me. I guess to each his own :ernaehrung004:

Mine is a 1/2 ton, but everyone who has ridden in my truck claimed they liked the interior. It was very important to me.

I guess if your job is to ride in that truck. But If is x truck is better truck all around im not going to buy Y because the interior was better. Had a chevy 1/2 ton, 07 and 08 F250 now an 11 F150 and to be honest dont really know the difference. Chevy's interior was outdated from the start but the seats were comfy as and things were laid out descent the 07 f250 interior was straight out of 1999, 08 wasnt to bad and the new 11 is pretty good.

I think the comfort of interior, and egernomics and positioning of knobs makes a big difference in fatigue for us guys doing longer hauls. When you drive to Atlanta every other week..it makes a difference. Just picked up a 32 Regulator, delivered it to NC area....long azz haul..then off to WI to bring a 69 Z28 down...43 hours of driving... Comfort makes a difference..especially for us older guys..:drink:

Are you out of the homebuilding business now or is this hauling just a side job for you?

I have a Ford but I think that number one selling comes more from branding and blind followership than actual quality at times. Late 90's early 2000 F150s were junk and that non turbod 7.3 was reliable but weak.

I thought all the 7.3s were turbo motors?? I had a 1987 F250 6.9 non-turbo IDI it was a dog hauling anything over 5000lbs.

7.3 just gets broke in at 200k they run 400k or more with no problems im only at 150k long way to go. With the edge program in it 18 mpg spinning 37s and all the power and torque you ever need.
