Dodge Vs Ford Vs Chevy..............

[Papabear]

i live in oil country as well and the backbone up here is Ford in the field. But as far as personal trucks go dodge diesel is no.1 up here sitting in about 70% of the driveways chevy at about 20% and Ford the remaining 10% but like i said the Ford SD is the workhorse up here being 95% of the work trucks here.

Maybe a bit off topic, but I've built a few late 80's through mid 90's mechanical Cummins powered F350 crewcab 4x4's for customers who wanted the toughest and most reliable vehicle for rough service.

One truck filled a bill in Northern Canada where they were 300 miles from the nearest place that fix thier new Duramax truck. The first solution was buy a second duramax crewcab to use anytime one broke. That worked for a few months until both trucks broke at the same time. The 91 F350 crew 4x4 P7100 12V ZF 6 speed NP205 with 3.54's, 33" tires, rear detroit tru-trac, 8274 Warn has been going for 3 years now, zero issues except an easy fuel line problem. The F350 cost them under $30K with tons of upgrades (mostly interior and front suspension stuff). They got rid of the duramax trucks and are very happy with the single Ford.
