I have a Cummins in my 2004 Dodge and I love it,I had a 2000 Dodge 3500 with the Cummins and it was a dream,but,as far as 1/2 tons go Ford all the way,I have test drove a new 150 and I want one bad but I dont want to give up the heavy duty to get it,my wife has a new Durango on order,I am thinking of asking her to try out the 150 crew cab,I am going to take her tomorrow to drive one if she likes it I may get her that instead.
I have to say driving the new F150 was not even close as far as the Dodge 1/2 tons go,the Ford is so much more refined and quiet,it dont seem to have the take off power as the Hemi but I am sure it is all it should be.
Anyways what should I look for,she will want 4x4 crewcab,is there anything I need to look for as far as problems go?
Dont get me wrong about the Cummins vs Powerstroke,I have had 3 PSD and they were great trucks,but I already have a new Dodge and I sure like the new Ford 150s.any info would be helpful..Thanks

 

Get a SCrew Lariat = Fully Loaded! She will love you more than ever - Although the new Durango's ROCK! We are thinking about trading our 2004 Jeep Cherokee in for a new Durango!

 

I traded in a 99 Durango for the 04 Lariat screw and I couldn't be more happy. Of course the Durango cost me $2500 for a new transmission last year and before I traded it in I was told the intake, both diffs, rear axles and a few other things needed replaced ($3400). I know that the Durango and Ram have transmission and ball joint problems but that was terrible. I know my new truck is 5 years newer but it is more comfortable, has plenty of room for the family (wife + two kids) and the consumer ratings for the F150 are fantastic. I hope to keep this truck for a long time.

 

I dont know about the 99 Durango,but my 2000 3500 4x4 had 125000 miles on it when I traded it and I never had any ball joint problems,I know they were supposed to have these problems but mine never did,we are on our way to test drive a new F150,wish me luck

 

Just do it

 

You won't be dissapointed!!!

 

They are nice trucks, Love my S-Crew Lariat, be sure to get the Audiophile stereo.

I just hope you won't be disapointed with the power, even with the 5.4 3.73, it's a little shy on power, but better than my 03 Expedition with the 5.4 3.73.

I get about 13 city and 16 hwy and 10-11 towing.

 

those new durangos are the ugliest things dodge has made. they look like a sporty mini van
