Dodge or Chevy?

[Ethan]

I am too ashamed to buy a Chevrolet anymore.

I thought you wasted your money on buying Volvos?

I would personally go with Dodge as a Cummins with a six speed is a pretty awesome combo.

Although I know of some pretty hot duramaxes that might make you think twice.

Not a chance when your laying out 550 hp and 1300 ft lbs of torque at the wheels.

That dosen't sound fun at all


Throw a couple turbos on a duramax and they seem to wake up, just glad I’m not paying for it. 

[Nate]

Twin turbos and 50 lbs of boost. I have a buddy who gets 60 out of his.

I'm looking at getting a new fueler plate and 200 hp injectors.

Yes, I waste my money on Volvos. A company that takes pride in the product it puts out so it's not just bland, stale, generic, badge engineered vehicles. Still staying true to their roots and building their product in Europe and not out-sourced to Mexico (my 20 year old car and new car were built in the same factory in Ghent, Belgium and shipped over.) They don't feel the need to reinvent their image every such and such years like a lot of our American companies; still use the same logo, emblem, and typeface on all characters inside and out of the car. And whose corporate leaders are able to keep their revenue on the positive side of the numbers.

Anyhow, I used to love General Motors. I loved the Chevrolet Silverado pickup and wanted one for the longest time. No longer. Nate knows I'm in the market for a pickup truck, hence my saying I won't buy a Government Motors vehicle anymore.

Dodge Cummins for the win.

Geez... with a handle like yours I'd expect you to want him to buy the truck with the Farmall engine....

I wanted him to get a Ford at first, but the Mega Cab looks awesome. Fords have too much trouble.

having a customer who has about 15 ford F250's with the (5.9? ) powerstroke i can say from experience that there not a bad truck. the  only time ive had one of em in for something other than servicing it was when it had an exhaust manifold doughnut wear out...
thees trucks range from models built in 2/03 - 6/06 and miles between 95,000 - 145,000
so i gotta say for the most part fords are okay... i still hate em... i now hate chevy...

I've heard that.... I don't worry about it 'cuz they are way outta my price range.

My 2 cents. Dodge crew cabs are a joke. I sat, or should I say wedged myself in the back of one that belonged to a friend. Chevy has a proper crew cab with tons more room then the silly Dodge. But Dodge does have the Cummins. The Duramax is a nice diesel, Isuzu designed actually.

If a four door crew cab is important to you forget Dodge. If not I would lean toward Dodge.

[Nate]

Sure the Pre-03's are a joke, but before that they didn't have a "Crew Cab". They had a Club Cab. My 04 is cozy, I have slept in it several times, I have rode in the back, I'm not a tall guy, average size 5'10" and with my cowboy boots on I had plenty of room. The MegaCab is more than enough room with reclining rear seats, name any other pickup that has a rear cab large enough to recline seats.

Besides, I'm always driving anyways, who cares how much room the passengers have as long as im comfy in the drivers seat!

[Hayrunner]

Well since Cummins is the only real diesel engine manufacturer in the class 8 dept since 1919 and Isuzu since..... whenever? I would only go with the obvious choice, and I have every since 1994 when I woke up from that Ford haze I was in and test drove a new Dodge with a Cummins, I bought that pickup that day. Ive driven Powerstrokes "actually own one for a company rig but I wont admit it in public  " , Ive driven Duramax too, neither with or without upgrades impress me like a good old fashioned pull of an I-6 with the turbo whisling. But my Dodge doesnt have that big V8 badge on the side that all too many city boys get all pumped up over. Ill stick with my mini class 8 I-6 Cummins anyday!
