Yep, we are truck shopping... GMC, Chevy, Ford or Dodge?  and why? and yes, it will be diesel and dually!

   Love my Dodge! It's a 2014 Ram 3500 Dually- Laramie edition. Upgraded from a Ford Gas F250 2 years ago. I like Ford's also, but for the price break on the Dodge's you can't beat it! They are pulling machines. 

The Ford 6.7 diesel! Love the power! I dare to say its better than the 7.1!

I had a 2016 3/4ton I loved! Only thing I was disapponted in was it needed air bags to level it hitched.   But never knew my trailer was back there. Big hills and all.  Unfortunately, I had to down size to a half ton and smaller trailer for now.  But when time comes to buy another big truck, it will be the 6.7 for sure!

Ford or Dodge hands down! They are just a more reliable truck and built to last. There is a reason you mainly see them pulling horse trailers and not Chevy/GMC.....

DODGE..... the MOST RELIABLE engine. Pop the hood on a ford and a dodge. With the dodge you can actually see the parts and the ground... With fords its all crammed in there and the whole cab has to come off for many many many simple repairs. No thanks.. 

funny!  I always thought the Fords and Dodges would be the least favorite :)

I love my 3/4 ton Dodge with a Hemi---6.4.  Great gas mileage.  Pulls like a dream.  I am seeing more and more Dodge gas one ton trucks too

Recently purchased a 2018 Ram 2500 for hauling and I absolutely love it. I've been a die hard Chevy girl my whole life... not anymore. 

We love our Dodge.

6.7 cummins, dually, flatbed... Pulls like a dream and looks mean to boot. :) 

one that doesn't brake down...

This! One that gets you from point a to point b safely.

That said I love my chevy silverado 3500. Its my tow vehicle as well as my daily driver

well, we got a pretty good deal on a 2017 3500 GMC Denali with a few miles on it.  No way we could afford to buy a BRAND new one! LOL

I went from the f350 to a gmc2500 a couple years ago and love the ride of my gmc.  have never been in a better riding truck.  i really tried to like a dodge (for fuel consumption mostly) but i am a head turner when i drive and that dam door post is always in my line of sight.  if i pulled the seat up to see around it my boobs were in the steering wheel and that is not good!

so for you dodge lovers.... does the door post being in your line of sight not bother you? 

LOL, about the boobs

I never noticed the door post being in my line of sight in my Dodge, but I hit the top of my head quite offen on the top of the door jam while getting in, ticks me off when I hit my head, I'm guessing the door jams are shorter then the fords, I have both Dodge and 2 Fords, thinking about trading my Dodge with hubby hes got a megga cab flat bed thats really nice, maybe I wont be hitting my head on it. I use my Dodge for hauling also.. The Dodge is a Ram 3500 and a King Ranch f350 and a King Ranch f250, but my older Dodge is my favorite to haul with.. Just dont like hitting my head on the door jam.. The f350 we have extra disel tanks on it for the tractors so when we need fuel we just pull up to the tractors and fill up.

I have 4 Fords.   I really don't think that there is a nickels difference between the 3 brands.  All of them have good and bad things about them.   All of the newer diesels WILL have problems because of the way they have to be built because of the EPA.  All of the newer diesels need to be owned by people that don't neglect them.  If you want a truck that you can just turn the key and drive without ever doing and service maintinece and never look at it buy a gas. They are much more tolerant to that kind of lifestyle.

Yes! For hauling, I LOVE my Dodge dually 3500. For general driving/bounce around I waaaay prefer my husbands F350 BECAUSE the Dodge has so many blind spots!

hahaha.... how many times have you hit your head???  That could explain some things....

GMC all the way. We bought a new 2018  Denali last year.

My dad also pulls with a GMC after switching from a Ford. He has always been a Ford guy.

It must be a height thing cause I have never noticed the pillar being in my line of sight. Now I'm going to look for it when I get back in it.

I really like my Dodge. Rides good, pulls GREAT, quiet, and not so pretty that I'm worried about messing it up. The Fords were too expensive to buy and to work on plus the cord to charge my phone laid right over the radio so you had to move it out of the way to push the buttons. It took a forty acre field to turn the Chevy around. So we got a Dodge. 

I lost count, hummmm you may have a point there, lol..

I remember going to the USTRC Finals a few years ago where there were hundreds of trucks and trailers.  Hands down most contestants were driving Ford Powerstroke Diesels as was my husband.

I know a dually is not something to drive every day BUT I sure could drive this GMC Denali every single day, even just to go to walmart!!!!  Wow, what a sweet ride!  It doesn't drive like a big truck at all (it does park like one that's for sure LOL)  , I can't wait to pull with it this weekend!!!!

YES!!!!!!! That is my main complaint about my truck. Its a 2013 Ram 2500 4X4 long wheel base. There is a blind spot in that thing like no other!!!!!! But other than that I love my truck. 
My husband has a 2015 F350 4x4 long wheel base single wheel. I think its got the 6.7 in it. I love his truck too. 

The only thing I can say is if you want a smooth ride, dont get a dodge. Mine will beat you to death but his Ford is like riding on air. 

I agree with BS Hauler. All three have good and bad things but we have had the best luck with the Dodge diesels. We currently have a 2017 Ram 2500 with the cummins and its a pretty nice truck. Pulls great. Rides great. And the more miles we put on it the better the MPG's we are getting. I think the Dodges are the best bang for your buck. 

Truck opinions are like...well, you know.  We all have them.

We are a duramax neighborhood.  Our neighbor has the only Dodge and when it’s running it’s a pulling son of a gun...when it’s running.  There’s 3 in our immediate family and I can think of another 3 or 4 that close friends have and can’t recall any major issues.

Another reason we keep buying them is they are our mechanics specialty.  If we do have any issues - he knows how to fix it quick.  

GMC!!!  My trailer is 18 ft short wall 4 horse Hart.  I was fully loaded, horses, water, tack and clothes, drove up Ranger Hill two weeks ago.  I started at 55mph at the bottom, got to 75 before the top.  I drove off and left people.  I've never had that kind of power in a truck.  Before if I wasn't going at least 80mph at the bottom, I would only get to 55 mph at the top with it on the floor.  Not with the 2019!  It's got amazing power!!

I had to giggle at this one.  We actually really like the way our GMC dually rides even without a trailer (we call her Big Hips Bertha).  We usually take it on the 8hr trip back to my parents a couple times a year because it’s the most comfortable overall for us - you’ve not lived until you’ve wiggled a dually into and out of a parking garage ????

you guys are making me drool I love my '12, but would love to trade up for the '19 gmc!  Mr Whit gives me the stank eye when i bring it up. 

My dually is my daily driver. It makes for fun parking but I love that truck. Keeps me safe in all weather and is just easy to drive. 

Have had all 3 in diesels.  First was a 95 F350 I bought used & it was a dog (think it had a 6.9 maybe?  It was also a stick & their clutch was HORRID!!  I still think it started the issues w/my left knee).  Then I bought a brand new F350  in '97.  It was a POS.  Engine was good, transmission was HORRIBLE - first went out before 20k miles & before I ever even pulled with it.  FMC were complete jerks to me over the whole mess - the truck had SIX transmissions before 50k miles!!!  (one was put in, the service mgr took it for a test drive & they pulled it right out - junk!).  I couldn't wait to trade it off & got a Dodge 2500 Cummins 24v and loved that truck - it was a 6 spd manual.  Sold it to get a 1T dually for the new trailer.  But I didn't want a new truck - researched & found the 2007 Duramax was one of the most reliable trucks ever.  So casually looked until I found this one.  I LOVE it!  I've had it about 1 1/2yrs now & it should last me the rest of my hauling days.  (it only had 82k miles on it when I bought it).  Just drove it well over 4000 miles on a trip & it is the easiest driving, smoothest truck I think I've ever owned.  I won't own another Ford due to their lack of customer service, but do like Dodge or Duramax - but the Duramax is the best driver/rider.
