I think the sticker price on my F150 and my friend’s Tundra was about the same and both are extended cab 4x4’s with similar options. I think mine might have a few more options (parking sensors and little shit like that) but its real close. ---

just from seeing the trucks on the road it seems like the GM trucks sag a hell of a lot more with weight on the front. ---

I have a brand new Dodge, its the first Dodge I’ve ever owned.I was always a ford truck guy and I owned an f150 a few years ago and I would never thought of buying a Dodge at the time.IMO they have done a 180 in quality and performance. the reason I didn’t want a Ford this time around is because they were still running that pig 5.4 and I wanted at least some kinda zip. After owning my Dodge for a year it averages 15mpg combined.They only thing i am only 90% happy with is the ride is a little harsh but thats because I wanted the 20’s.Now that Ford is going to be putting some ass back in there trucks I will Definately consider them in a year or so when I go for my next truck I’m excited to check out the new drivetrains that are coming. P.S I do not work my trucks hard mostly moving and a little off-road fun during which it has always impressed me so I cannot vouch for the payload capacity ETC. ---

I keep reading that Dodges fall apart after 80kmi, may pertain to the old truck though. ---

I’ve heard that too but I gave this one a chance and I was looking into a Titan and once I opened the door to this truck it just made me feel like it was a lot more truck than the Titan. ---

sorry RB but that toyota looks like complete shit w/ DRW’s but the cat motor would def be the selling point on the truck as the cummins is to dodge owners each truck has its pros and cons and this new chassis GM seems to have the least of the big three lets see how the other two respond to it… the bar is raising quite fast in the HD truck community! ---

The front bearings started going on my silverado 1500 at 120k. I think the new timken replacements could go just as far. ---

The diesels run dana 60 fronts and a 70s rear on the autos and 80s on the sticks. Which are definetly on par with the GM 14 bolts if not a little stronger in my opinion and I’m a chevy guy through and through, but in my opinion dodge makes a nice diesel truck. My big complaint to GM is the lack of an available standard transmission behind the DMAX. You are right thought dodge front end longevity sucks.
