Help me sell out ford over a dodge...

A buddy of mine is looking to get a new truck, he has a 05 Super duty now, and loves it, he is pretty steady on buying a new SD, but has been considering getting a Dodge 2500 Mega cab. Not that it matters too much to me, but I want to keep him in the ford family. What kind of info is useful in this decision?

I know there are a few pro's that Ford has that dodge doesnt including
Tailgate Step
Upfitter Switches
Power folding mirrors
Much quieter diesel engine
Locking rear axles
much bigger mirrors
door keypad

but dodge does have
Mega cab
heated steering wheel
heated and cooled rear seats
no fuel additive (yet)


I know none of these really sell a truck, but Im looking for some other ammo to use to keep him in the ford family

a ford will not rot out and start dropping pieces on the road in 5 years.
