Picking this one up this week. 3116 Cat and 3:36 gears, I can't drive, 55! A coat of Black, a pickup bed and cruisin. I think this may outdo my beloved powerstroke.
Now to sell the other two.

My '05 F350 PSD seems to be adequate for the 22 Donzi.

They are all good trucks, that can do the job. with that said , comfort for the long haul is key and GMC is the ticket. I have a 2001 GMC dually with the 496/allison, and it pulls as well as a diesel, even with 150K miles on it. one of our shop trucks is a Ford F-450 2003, the seats suck to say the least, you may as well sit on a milk crate. Its been in the shop numerous times, only has 39k miles on it. havent been in the dodge so cant say.
but besides the power packages, see which one is most comfortable if you plan on long trips.

I like my 2000 Crew Cab F350 with the cummins engine. I wouldnt have it any other way. Diesels are made for pulling down low in the RPM range. A straight 6 will create more torque down low than a V8 with simliar cubic inches. I wonder why all the semi's are straight 6ers. FWIW
