OK, I'll be honest, never heard any brand rust but have seen all of them rust. But even a rusted out OLD chevy still will be seen going down the highway under its own power. Unlike some others. Unless of course, they are powered by GM also.

Yunts and Chuck, The best truck and the best price. Who can give me a price on a 3/4 ton diesel work truck. Regular cab or crew cab . I priced one from Chev ( reg cab long box 4x4) for $35,030.00 with trailer hitch,skid plate and off road tires

Big D, was that a crew cab because that would be high for a regular cab. I'm sorry but there are not very many Duramax Diesels left on the market. $35,000 to $37,000 sounds about right for an LS model with all these GM Employee discounts that there is right now.

Big Daddy I just built your truck on the Ford Direct website, I encourage you to make any changes that you need but here are the reults. mind you that this is MSRP before discounts

You will need to buy that  250 to move that house.

Nice truck Chuck. I was out a couple of weeks ago looking at the F-250's Super-Duty's. Man they are some nice trucks, couldn't refrain from salivating. I think the new Chevy trucks look pretty cool on the outside, but GM like Dodge need to upgrade their tooling so they can have semi-decent looking interiors. I don't know if they're color blind, cheap or just hired a Clown, but a 10 different color interior is ugly to me. The best truck in my opinion would have a Ford body with a Cummings Diesel engine and an Allison transmission.

[gery350]

to all you ford lovers, all i hear is blah, blah, blah, blah. blah


no but seriously- they are both great trucks. its just a matter of personal preference. i prefer the chevy, but ford does make a great truck.

True.

You got that 110% right.  That's why I bought the dodge, can't beat that cummins engine

[gtnwood]

This is probably irrelevant, however has anyone ever listened to the difference in the noise level between the Big Three
Diesels? Holy Crap are those Dodges and Fords noisy or what? I could hear a Cummins over my dual 2 chamber Flowmasters behind a Chevy 406. Give me a Duramax any day, since thats about the only way I'd be able to afford one anyway. GITRDONE!

nothing is better than a chevy!

Not according to this poll.....

I'm sure we can poke fun back and forth about them (like I'm about to right now)  but I know everyone knows the FORD acronym's but a funny saying I heard about chevy is this:

"90% of all the chevy's are still on the road"

Who wants to go home when you have such a nice driving truck. You must have to give those fords a rest or just like paying for lawn ornaments.

[jbbj220]

I have thought long and hard about this and have come to the conclusion that:

  I would rather have a sister that worked in a wh**r house than a brother that droave a sorry a** Chevy.

Just kidding guys I don't have a sister, but if I did.

Only because she would be making the cash and you would be hoping to borrow some. HEHE...........

[Njoutlaw88]

Ford sucks.  I bought an explorer at an auction thinking i could sell it and make a profit. This was before I knew fords are worth nothing.

Is the Ford Lightning still the fastest truck on the road from the Factory?

I wou need her cash to keep my Chevy running, that is if I wasn't real smart and drove a Chevy.

But then the real smart guys drive Fords and don't need much cash to keep them runing.

I know that I have said to much but had to do it anyway.
