"Truckin" Heavy Duty Shootout

I usually dont read Truckin magazine since i am not too big into lowered rigs, but this last issue has a shootout of the 3 new diesels. They didnt go into too much detail. It was stated that the Chevy was the quickest, but also the least truck like. They called the Dodge big rig inspired but that its interior was dated and the quality wasnt the best. The Ford and Dodge were about even in the tow test drag race. They wrote that the Ford is what a truck is supposed to look and feel like. The interior was voted the best aswell. Overall for work and towing they predered the Ford. For street and speed the Chevy was favored and They liked the Jake Brake on the Dodge. Nice to hear a little less biased shootout for once, what do you guys think? I am a fan of all the new trucks, Ford being my favorite as you can imagine. I dont want to start another pissing match either.

As a business the Mag. isn't going to BASH one over the other, It'll give all three merit and demerit.
Put them side by side and I'll jump in the Ford Everytime.

truckin does articles about lifted trucks too. but they are mostly show trucks with crazy paint and stuff. there is a little helpful info in there sometimes though,
