Impressed...
Friend just bought an 04 Powerstroke FX4 250 Lariat. NICE truck.... made me want one. We rode around to turkey shoots and fball games.... truck accelerated much better than any Triton truck I've ridden in. Sat up high like a truck should. The friend was supposed to get a 2500 HD Duramax, but they sold out before the shipment even got in... and he didnt have time to wait. I know you'll say he got the better truck... but I liked both... I give the GMC the edge... cuz I like the looks... but thats beside the point. The F250 was an awesome truck, and all the looks from girls wasn't bad either. Which brings me to my next point.... anyone willing to trade a F250 diesel 4x4 for a reg cab f150 4.6?

Yea I have to agree with you on the point of the GMC's looking much better. If I had to buy anything other than a Ford, it would be a GMC. They have a much more refined and sophisticated look then the Aztec front end Chebby's. Glad your buddy likes his truck, and I'm glad you like it too!!!!

ford was the best pic
i followed my dad and a buddy down to florida in a winstar van .we traveled at 70 m/hr at all times. dad has 2004 ford scab with a 6.0 litre and a 33 foot tralier. my buddy got a 2004 chev diesel scab with the same trailer. on the flat the chev worked good but at the top of the hill ford was there first. the ford was a little better on fuel. my 2002 scab with a v10 is being replaced with a 2005 scab diesel. i like the v10 till i stop at the pumps . the waiting is killing me

Best of Luck,

P.S. I've personally never owned anything but a diesel, so I guess I'm curious if you really do get 7-9mpg with the v10.

Ill bet youll never see him in a GMC after the Ford experience.
IDK bout that... he says he likes the ford but wishes he had the GMC... just a prefeence thing I guess, another reason he wanted the GMC was it woulda costed him a little less money, and just getting started in the constructino business he was trying to save a few dollars.

IMO, both are quality trucks, but I have heard about more problems with Ford diesels than Chevy's, but anyways I rode with him on the test drive of the GMC, and I liked it alot. I liked both trucks, and this will suprise you, it sat at the same height the Ford did. I like GMC for their more refined look, but thats just my opinion. Both trucks were overkill for what he needed, but hey this is America, if he wants a big honkin diesel thats what he should get.
