 It Goes On

     Location: Muskogee, OK | 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. |

   Location: Kentucky | 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.. |

        Location: LuluLand~along I64 Indiana | 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. |

    Location: North Central Iowa Land of white frozen grass | 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! |

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. |
