Just curious . . . sort of a pole. If for some reason you could not get a Ford, what would be your second choice? Duramax (Chevy/GMC)? or Cummins (Dodge)? And why. Thanks.

in canada, we can import trucks that are 12 or 15 years old (cant remember). i would get a toyota hilux crew cab diesel.

i have owned 2 fords and 2 toyotas. both brands have exceeded my expectations.

(sold my last toyota and kept my 350) i definately have brand loyalty to those who treat me well

i 'm not really sure as i have an 03 powerstroke thats been a really good truck,i guess if i was haulling a lot of weight up and down a lot of grades i would modify a cummings.they get better milage. but my 6.0 runs really great on the flat hauls down towards fla and that ford chassie is a thing of beauty . she's like a cruise missle on the road. the torqshift is a great tranny, even better than the allison.am really looking forward to the 6.7 and the new 6r140w tranny with the 2 power takeoffs.
