That will be a hard choice....but remembering Ford quality is still having
problems. Another area if buying a Quad version, it is Dodge hands down.
The motor is truly a Cummins Diesel and will last for 350K miles.
Go to www.pickuptruck.com for a comparison test between the big three.

Subject: DML: Off Topic.. But need Dodge vs. Ford help
My boss is wanting a new truck, 3/4 ton with a Diesel, and is between the
new Dodge and Ford, and has pretty much decided on a short bed crew cab F250
Power Stroke. Anybody have any thoughts on how to get him back to the proper
side? Like MPG and longevity of the motor on the Ford versus Dodge, he wants
to keep the truck for like 10 years.. I have seen 350k mile overhaul for the
new Dodge diesel, but haven't seen the number for the Powerstroke, I also
haven't been able to come up with MPG figures..
Thanks...
