Same goes for Dodge, I like the outside, its a good looking truck, but the inside is cheap and horendous looking, not to mention their lack of a good motor.

You can bash the 6.0 all you want I would not buy that either. Diesel sucks, plain and simple. Dodge has nothing to offer at all other than the cummings, because the Hemi can barely tow the frame its mounted in, and Chevy is uglier, has a higher sticker price, and has the least power out of all of them.

And before you get into the Diesel is better than gas thing 
. For that extra $5000 or more you spend for the diesel, you could put a supercharger on, complete exhaust system on,a computer upgrade, and transmission work done on a V-10 that would out pull a diesel in its sleep. Not to mention that it would weigh less, so you could tow more.

And it wouldn't last anywhere near as long, and you'd then have to upgrade your transmission, and the only way a diesel costs more is if you buy the trucks new and/or don't shop around when you're buying, and if you do get it new, you void any warranty that you had when you bolted the first mod on. I'm not arguing diesel vs. gas, though, this is about Chevy vs. Ford ??? or..., so here you go. Brandon, once again, the Cummins isn't proven, it's not a durable engine, show me one Cummins 600, the current diesel you get if you buy a Dodge, show me one that has made it to more than 750,000 miles. Even 500,000, and going by the length of time that they have been out, I'd say some 6.0s have made it that far, but no Cummins has had time to yet, so you can't say that's it's durable. ga302p, you can't seriously be comparing aluminum heads on a diesel to breakthrough design innovations like fuel injection and turbo intercoolers, are you? That's ridiculous, it's not that drastic of a change, and we don't know the long-term life of these engines, either, so don't ring their bell just yet. As far as looks, that's personal preference, so there's really no right or wrong arguments there.
