If you are considering a new pick up

Great opinions here and yes all the big 3 make very impressive trucks. Power units are all up to snuff. I guess it comes down to looks and comfort for the individual. I have found the GM a little easier to work on over the Ford and Dodge. I cant let someone work on my stuff when its out of warranty so this is a big deal for me.

Already chipped in on fondness for my 2006 2500 with 5.9 Cummins but perhaps this might help someone. I rented a 2019 Ford F250 FX4 6.2 gas for the 5,000 mile round trip to pick up my race car using my open Featherlight trailer. Was actually impressed, averaged 13.5 mpg, plenty of power and comfortably cruised at 70 mph. Four years ago I rented the Nissan Titan with the big V8 in order to go pick up a motorcycle in LA (a very gracious shop tour of Jeff’s shop by Kevin Helms was a big bonus). Would never consider that, auto trans always hunting for lower gear and much poorer ride than the Ford.

Just a FYI...
